Preacher's kid here. I think it's ok, from a literalist standpoint. IIRC, lesbianism is not forbidden, either. Just male-male sodomy. And incest. And masturbat...wait. I think Onan's curse may apply to any non-reproductive use of semen. Well, there goes my secret formula for children's finger paint emulsifier...

Also from Driscoll:
"...Masturbation can be a form of homosexuality because it is a sexual act that does not involve a woman. If a man were to masturbate while engaged in other forms of sexual intimacy with his wife then he would not be doing so in a homosexual way. However, any man who does so without his wife in the room is bordering on homosexuality activity, particularly if he's watching himself in a mirror and being turned on by his own male body."

I was always taught that with masturbation the actual sin was lust, and according to Matthew 5:28, that's tantamount to adultery, so masturbation is a sin. This always lead to hypothetical discussions about whether or not it was possible to masturbate without sinning if you emptied your mind, and whether or not you were morally responsible if you had a really good dream.
There are few things as existentially depressing as the existence of "men's accountability groups," where one of the main priorities is to make sure that nobody is jacking off.

For those that are wondering, 1 Corinthians 6:12 reads, "'I have the right to do anything,' you say-but not everything is beneficial. 'I have the right to do anything'-but I will not be mastered by anything." Paul was answering the Corinthians who were saying that because Christ set them free from their sins, they were now free to sin as much as they like.

Oh, and might as well get this one out of the way:
"On the night of their betrothal, the wife shall open to the man as the furrow to the plow, and he shall work in her, in and again, till she bring him to his fall, and rest him then upon the sweat of her breast."

NeauxFear: I think Onan's curse may apply to any non-reproductive use of semen.
Or it could just apply to refusing to impregnate your brother's widow.
Think about it this way:
If it would have caused instability in Biblical-era Israel, it's probably forbidden by the Old Testament. The New Testament (at least in Jesusist Christianity) is pretty thin and clear on what's allowed or not. Pauline Christianity (what Catholicism and most of Protestantism is based off of) is more murky.
What people don't realize about the Bible (not just the Bible either, this goes for a lot of religious texts) is that they weren't just there to make you feel miserable and guilty. Reproduction and lineage were essential in Israelite society. In an era where not an insignificant number of children died before reproductive maturity, keeping up the population was incredibly important. This is why you see commands to "be fruitful" in Genesis and laws that denied a man from finding sexual fulfillment without a woman that he could possibly impregnate. Monogamy laws were important because land was passed down nearly exclusively through the family. If a son's legitimacy was challenged, so was the family's shelter and way of eating.
If we suddenly had a spike of infant mortality and deaths of young men in our society, you'd probably see laws put in place requiring men to have children and take multiple mates. That's more or less what the Old Testament demands, because that was the needed culture for that society to survive. We still see the inheritance battles going on today with occasional (but often infrequent) squabbles over inherited property in mixed families. It's not a problem like it would have been then, though.
