Someone want to know if masturbation is a sin?

Although, the Bible doesn't actually specifically address the topic of masturbation but Sex was made to be between husband and wife for intimacy. Masturbation is essentially rejecting & twisting what God intended btw husband & wife.
1. Let’s begin with an important biblical principle taught by our Lord – that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart (Matthew 5:27-28).
2. A person who practices masturbation without imagining sex with someone is rare indeed, if he or she exists at all. On that basis, the practice is equivalent to engaging in adultery, fornication, as revealed in Ephesians 5:5, Colossians 3:5 and Ezekiel 23:49.
3. We also know sin by the witness of the Holy Spirit within, provided we haven’t quenched spirit due to sin (1 Thessalonians 5:19; Ephesians 4:30). And who doesn’t live with guilt over the practice of masturbation – even those who have convinced themselves that it isn’t sinful?
4. Additionally, the Bible teaches that the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit – a sacred temple (1 Corinthians 3:16; 2 Corinthians 6:16) and that it is a member of Christ Himself (1 Corinthians 6:15-20).
5. The Bible teaches that sexual immorality is a sin against our own bodies 1 Cor 6:18, 1 Peter 2:11, it says that sinful desires war against our souls. In that sense, by engaging in masturbation with its accompanying immoral fantasies, we are actually warring against our souls.
6. And a very important biblical principle that is often overlooked in our search to discover if masturbation is sinful is found in 1 Corinthians 6:12; 2 Peter 2:19-20; and Romans 6:14-23 – that whatever masters us (other than the Holy Spirit) is harmful to us.
7. If this is u remove anything that can trigger your desire to masturbate & go to the cross daily. Train yourself spiritually. Listen to sermons, godly music, meditate on Scripture, & pray daily. Pray that God delivers u.
