I would completely disagree with that and find no Biblical or spiritual justification for it. Objectifying women and lusting after them is though, which is probably more precisely the sin. Glad you don’t want to objectify women anymore OP, that morality has Biblical foundations and is commonly a societal morality as well.
The commonly cited biblical prohibition on masturbation is Onan in Genesis 38.
It is one of the more spectacularly fucked up tales in the bible.
Even then, it does not condemn masturbation anyway.
Genesis 38 v9
But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother. 10 What he did was wicked in the Lord’s sight; so the Lord put him to death also.
As i understand it he was withdrawing before he came, this denying a child to his brothers wife (to carry on the family line). And that was his sin.
So the lord, being the good old lord smites his ass !!
