My original post was glitched so I couldn't post but basically what I wanted to say was not to be about masturbation but about the rule. As far as masturbation is concerned there is no medical evidence that suggest any harmful effects.

God made the complex brain and the intricate neuro systems that allow us to fantasize. Why make rules on what you've created? That is my problem. Masturbation is not harmful and is in fact the safest form of abstinence. Beauty as you seem to have your argument fixated on is not all singular.

One can be fixated on clothes, smell, or even tone of voice. I think you idea of masturbation is misguided by your perception of what it is. Temptation is nothing more than the working of your hypothalamus along with other brain areas effecting your sexual appetites.
It is harmful when it becomes addictive, which it usually does.� Furthermore, I read about a study recently on WebMD which stated that frequent masturbation increased the risk of prostate cancer in younger men, although it seemed to lower that risk in older men.� The advice of the lead author was that "moderation" was the key. But if one gets addicted to it, than there is no moderation, is there?� As the fatwa which brother abuayisha posted stated, it really depends on the situation.� If you feel that you can't control your desires and masturbation seems to keep you from acting on those desires, than it can be a useful tool, but again, moderation is important.� However, resisting the urge should be the main line of defense. �� �� As I said before, the impulses which we feel are normal, but they should only be acted upon in the proper context, which is in marriage with one's spouse.� Until one is married, it is one's duty to remain chaste.� The feelings one has are normal and as long as they remain that way, there is no blame on the person.� It is only when the person acts upon those feelings that it becomes sinful.     

Thanks to my intelligent wife I was able to ask about prostate cancer and its correlation to masturbation. According to her, alkaline which is the substance that allows sperm to survive in acidic environments e.g. The vaginal canal. As masturbation becomes more frequent so is the build up of alkaline. The alkaline buildup contributes to prostate cancer.

There are many things that contribute to this type of cancer. Besides having relatives with prostate cancer makes you a likely candidate to contract it. In addition race plays into contracting this cancer as well.  This study you read is perhaps referring to a possible correlation not a cause.
