Masturbation is all Politically Correct today yet you still can't do it in public and the morality of secular humanism still endorses keeping it strictly private. Why? A privacy norm for masturbation is just as arbitrary as outright prohibition. A lot of what I see on threads like this is easy, comfortable sniping at religious or moral positions one doesn't like, in an environment of groupthink. In common with some other posts here, I doubt Christian opinion unanimously bans masturbation, which is never mentioned directly in the New Testament: It's a matter of how phrases describing sexual behavior in Greek koine are to be interpreted and what some pastor or bishop thinks about it.
I might think you should be able to have a sexual orgy with 30 people on a downtown sidewalk at noon if you want to. If we're about "freedom" and all that. At least legally. We could let informal social acceptance or lack thereof govern such matters.
