This Sin if any is entirely situational and can change from person to person, in this context those interested canrefer to The Catechism of the Catholic Church…At times it could be no sin at all

The subject is not even talked about by Sex Education Teachers in Schools today, perhaps to avoid guilt feelings or get scrupalous of it. The Cathechism of The Catholic Church can be referred towith special reference to the Sixth Commandaments.
In recent years most Catholics as far as I know do not consider that self gatification is a Sin, not even Venial, as a Child grows up and attains the age of pubery it comes naturally and then as they grow up it usually decreases or stops or could become habit forming which again reduces the gravity of Sin if any.

I call it masturbation and I do not consider it a sin unless it takes the place of marital lovemaking leaving a partner without.

When growing up in the 1960’s and early 1970’s, I felt my Catholic education was pretty weak.
My father was not Catholic at that time, (he came into the Church in 2001) and my mother was the one who had the responsiblity of teaching me and my brothers the faith.
I learn the sign of the cross, the our father and the hail mary, but that was about it.
I wasn’t prepared for grade school theology.
I thought it was ‘just a class’ like all the others and just did average, somettimes below average. I wasn’t taught that THIS IS OUR FAITH and to tkae it SERIOUSLY.
So now I’m 44 and having to learn everything over again and with the resources available, it has been a blessing for the last 4 years.
I sponsered my father when he was in RCIA and that was the start on my road Back to the Church.
It’s NEVER too late to start and NEVER to late to re-learn and grow in one’s Faith.

So you are your master? Deciding what is sin and what is not?
We are to follow Him, not try to make Him follow us.

The Cathechism of The Catholic Church
2352 By masturbation is to be understood the deliberate stimulation of the genital organs in order to derive sexual pleasure. "Both the Magisterium of the Church, in the course of a constant tradition, and the moral sense of the faithful have been in no doubt and have firmly maintained that masturbation is an intrinsically and gravely disordered action." 138 “The deliberate use of the sexual faculty, for whatever reason, outside of marriage is essentially contrary to its purpose.” For here sexual pleasure is sought outside of “the sexual relationship which is demanded by the moral order and in which the total meaning of mutual self-giving and human procreation in the context of true love is achieved.” 139
To form an equitable judgment about the subjects’ moral responsibility and to guide pastoral action, one must take into account the affective immaturity, force of acquired habit, conditions of anxiety, or other psychological or social factors that can lessen, if not even reduce to a minimum, moral culpability.
Part 3, Section 2, Chapter 2, Article 6, SubSection 4, Heading 3
2396 Among the sins gravely contrary to chastity are masturbation, fornication, pornography, and homosexual practices.
