Im prompted that you are a believer who struggles with masturbation. How do i know? Based on your question,you see masturbation as a PROBLEM. Unbelievers don't see masturbation as a problem. They see it as a normal thing and they are never ashamed of it privately or even publicly just like actors and actresses because it is no problem to anything in their life. However, you are able to see it as a problem because it is a problem to something in your life-your faith. it is not helping you spiritually and its a grave stumbling block to your christian faith and pure conscience.
When you masturbate, you are commiting spiritual fornication or adultery which is as good as committing it physically. Whenever you masturbate, you do it with lustful thought of sleeping with an opposite in your heart and you do it deliberately. There is a scriptures against this from the mouth of Jesus Himself that whosoever lustfully looks at an opposite has already committed fornication or adultery in his or her mind. This is found in Mathew 5:27-28.
You have to PRAY, FAST and FLEE yourself from masturbation. You have to flee from every appearance of evil around you,especially immoral freinds, pornography and lustful movies/magazine. Folk, it takes deliberate and forcefull action to breakaway from any stronghold or bondage. -
Amen

Lust is obviously a strategy from the devil to make you feel dirty by putting those thoughts in your head and then he turns around to accuse you.
Take comfort because the moment you accepted Jesus, He gave you a born again (brand new) spirit identical to His...you have the Holy Spirit in you who will convict (remind) you that you are now the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
Everytime the devil puts lustful thoughts in your mind, resist his lies and confess (speak) the truth in the bible which is you are already the righteousness of God in Christ...
Say it out loud “It is written that I am the righteousness of God in Christ”...
Say it over and over again until the devil flees from you...this is the power of the Word of God. It is a double-edged sword and will cut right through the devil’s lies...
Believe and remind yourself that you are indeed the righteousness of God in Christ because you are! When you accepted and made Jesus your Saviour, sin lost its dominion over you through the grace of Jesus. The devil knows this but you have to remind him over and over again and yourself that YOU ARE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS.
This will help you, friend, because you are beloved by the Father in heaven. The power of the Word of God will break off the bondage in your life in Jesus’ name. -
I slightly disagree with your comment on this subject. When you talk about lust and adultery and fantasizing about sexual activities, masturbation is just a release of physical tension that is a natural release. It can lead to problems with and all the sexually explicit things that go into it, but the act itself is, "nornal"for those who maybe live alone and don't wish to enter into fornication with another person. The Bible isn't specific in regards to this matter and some would agree with you, but if it is kept within the realm of needing tension release without any outside stimuli then I wouldn't be to concerned.

Though the bible is not specific about masturbation but I have a different idea
The people should get married as soon as they are "sexually ready" in order to avoid struggling with our natural behaviour. Man's natural behaviour of loving when suppressed it becomes weakness. Therefore it turns out that we can't overcome our own weakness. My fellow Christians avoiding marriage you welcome sin.
