I think the asker was looking for a more biblical based answer. In Genesis, in the story of Onan, Onan masturbates so that he will waste his "seed" (sperm) and not impregnate his brother's wife. G-d sees this as a sin and therefore punishes Onan by killing him. That is why, biblically, masturbation may be seen as a sin. Although, it is a completely personal decision, and the modern interpretation is that he wasn't masturbating, but rather pulling out before ejaculation (withdrawal method), so it's your call.
P.S. The bible says nothing about female masturbation (or female homosexuality for that matter).

it depends on whether it gets in the way with your relationship with God, if you feel comfortable that it doesn't hurt that relationship, then go for it.
if not, then you are going to have a tough time
but feeling ashamed is 100% normal, in all guys, in all times, ever.
There are no negative health benefits whatsoever, and anyone whom claims so is wrong.
