I'm pretty sure Paul or Peter said that it would be good if you didn't have sex, or why would anyone want to take a vow of chastity? If you must, do it within marriage. It's also stated that it's better to shoot your sperm in a woman than let it be wasted otherwise.
It's a common belief among christians that masturbation is bad, and there's got to be some reason catholic priests take vows of chastity. You can't just say that the bible doesn't say anything against either.
As far as letting something consume you, I'll agree that it's possible to take pretty much anything too far. Eating and sleeping can be taken to unhealthy levels. It's just that some people belief that any masturbation or sex outside of marriage is wrong, when both can be good for you or your relationship.
