Answers:
Ok, look, masturbation is a biological way to reduce your sexual drives!. Its called Drive-Reduction Theory and it explains why you feel crazy while doing it!. Every man feels that crazy feeling the way you do about masturbation!. As a Christian, you may feel guilty, as masturbation is a way of pleasuring yourself, but, you could make the argument that it's keeping you from having pre-marital sex and, trust me, to a Christian, that is worse!. Honestly, the whole "masturbation as being evil" idea is quickly loosing its strength in many Christian communities!. Its an older worry from a past age!. Some Christians recognize that it is OK, because it is natural and it keeps one away from worse temptations!. And remember, the bible was written by men who interpreted God's word!. Yes human men who has those urges too!. They let some weird idea that because it felt good, then it must be wrong!. They let this take over their logical thought!. Really, masturbation has many health benefits and is good for your body (and it doesn't harm your soul)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Technically, yes, the Bible says it's wrong (I'm ex Catholic)!.
However!. The Bible also says that the following are immoral--
Cheeseburgers!.
Shrimp!.
Shaving!.
Bacon!.
Tattoos!.
Men being around women who are on their period!.
People with birth defects being around cities!.
Touching dead pigs!.
Touching anything that a menstruating woman has!.
Bunnies!. They are evil!.
Et cetera into slavery, genocide, incest, murder and infinity!.
Today, it's been proven that masturbation is actually healthy, when done in moderation (by which I mean often, but not so that it cuts into your life)!. It lowers your chances at prostate cancer and lets you know your body!.
Don't stop masturbating!. Well, it's up to you!. But my advice is to keep it up!.
Just try and go from 8 times a day to two!. From there, to 1 or 2!. Or whatever works for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm not aware of anything in the bible against it!. The catholic church at one point took a rather strong line against it, but I think that may have faded!.
The story of Onan was often cited as being against masturbation!. God punished Onan for 'spilling his seed on the ground'!.
If you read the story, Onan was supposed to get his dead brother's widow pregnant (yup, that's how it worked back then)!. Onan 'spilled his seed on the ground'!.
Onan was not masturbating!. Onan was having sex with the widow, but pulling out so she wouldn't get pregnant, presumeably so he could keep screwing her!. God punished him for that!.
I think the story of Onan suggests God is prepared to take a fairly liberal line on fertility treatments, as long as people aren't just using them as an excuse to commit adultery!.
I'd also judge the bible would rather married couples satisfy each other then masturbate alone!. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten my wife on board for that !.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Dude, Doesn't the bible say that you should not look upon a woman in lust!? That eats your mind up, because it takes away your focus on God and life around you!. You just gotta seriously seriously have self control!. Ask God to help you out,He is real, and despite what all these people above me are saying, they will all face him one day!. Christianity isn't religion: it's truth and it's surgery without anesthetics!. Surgery hurts and stings, but people come out a LOT better on the other side!. Do you have a youth pastor!? Go talk to him, describe your problem as "abnormal thoughts" Cuz, you shouldn't have to worry about this until after your married!. It's like a fart!. You don't fart DURING church, you wait til you LEAVE church to fart!. During church is like bachelor years, you don't need to have sexual experiences until after you 'leave the church' meaning, getting married!.
I talked to my Youth Pastor about it and he helped me out a LOT!. I overcame those problems, and now I'm just having fun with my life, not worrying about sex all the time!Www@Answer-Health@Com

from a christian point of view -
you are 13, so you are experiencing hormones that you haven't before - maybe you dont know how to deal with it yet!.!.
something i would be careful of is that the bible states this:
"But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality" - Eph 5:3
sometimes it is necessary to relieve tension/whatever, but if you are fantasising about girls/watching or reading porn, etc - then im not sure what to think!.!.
if your really confused and cant talk to your family, ask to speak to a leader at your church about it - if they are honest then they have had to deal with this stuff as well!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No matter what the bible or ANYBODY says, everyone does it!. Seriously!. So don't worry about it!. 8 times a day is pretty ridiculous though lol!. I mean, I do it, at most, once every couple weeks!. Become an atheist like me and then you REALLY have no reason to worry haha!. But yea, everyone does it and don't worry anyway, if the bible is true then everyone in the world is going to hell, seriously!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
As a 13 year old female Christian let me say this:
According to the Bible, nuns, theo class
EVERYTHING IS WRONG!.
If we were to be PERFECT catholics, we would just sit around and pray all day long!.
In my view, masterbation is perfectly OK!. We are only human and maybe God can't understand just exactly what is going through a 13 year old boy's mind!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I know what you mean by that!. But in the bible it also says "Resist the devil and he will flee"!. I'm trying to get over these feelings just as well as you and have realized that my faith needs to be stronger than my desires!. Just try to not think about it!. And just try to resist it a couple less times a days!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I'm a christian and I don't remember the bible saying that its wrong!.!.!.!.I don't think there is anything wrong with it, its a healthy way to vent sexual frustration, plus u said u had ur first wet dream, so ur horomones are raging, Personally, I believe that if you are following ur religion and have faith in what u believe in than u are doing just fine, dont worry and enjoy being young :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
Behavior that doesn't hurt yourself or anyone else is not wrong!. You are experiencing something new and hormonally compelling in your life and you will get used to it with time!. Later on you will find other things that keep your mind distracted, like girls!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It is wrong and not biblical, you will have to keep your mind off it and do other things when u start to think about it!.

the bible doesn't directly say 'it's wrong'!. i don't really know, i wish i could ask God !.most teenagers go through it and it's normal because of your hormones so pray for forgiveness anyway, just in case!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Its completely natural and practically every boy does it, im not sure what the bible says, but I cant see why it would be considered such a terrible thing!.
