I do think masturbation is perfectly natural. I really don't mean to be too graphic here, so excuse me, and I will do my best to keep it professional-- but the proof that masturbation is natural to me, is in the way the female body was designed.
Women have the "clitoris" which is on the outside of the body, and easily reachable by hands. It serves ABSOLUTLEY no other purpose, other than sexual stimulation. If we really were not meant to masturbate, I feel that the clitoris would be located just on the inside of the vagina, where it could best be stimulated through penetraiton. Most (not all but most) women can only achieve orgasm through the clitoral stimulation-- not from vaginal penetration. And during (heterosexual vaginal) intourcourse, it is rather difficult to stimulate that part of the woman's body, without the use of hands. Thus many women who don't, often go without an orgasm. True the man could do this for his female partner, but honestly, its a bit of an awkward bend of the arm, when you are in the church's internationally encouraged "misisonary position".
I actually brought up this issue in the hidden access thread (access with moderator permission only) "adult" section of the regular LDS forum, and nobody seemed to have a clear answer for it.
So again, because of our design, I believe it is natural.
As for other activities, I think that as long as its just you by yourself, or the couple are adutls, and niether have any personal issues (mental, emotional, or physical) with the sexual activity they are involved in involved in--- then its their own business.
I really do think its HIGHLY inappropriate, sick, and overstepping the bounds by quite alot, for religious leaders to ask loving and happy couples what they do in the bedroom. Or ask individuals if they masturbate. Its really none of their business. If a person or couple are having sexual issues, they should discuss it with a couple's therapist, or a doctor. NOT a religious leader.
