السلام عليكم

Welcome to the forums brother, and may Allah SWT reward you for asking about something which you are having doubts about.

Masturbation in Islam is Haraam. There is nothing in the Qur'aan/Hadeeth (that I know of) which explicitly refers to masturbation itself as being Haraam, but the ruling is derived from an aayah of the Qur'aan or a hadeeth, I forget which. I don't know the exact reference or wording for that matter, but someone else Inshaa Allah can provide it, but it mentions how people should marry to keep themselves chaste, and for those who don't have the means or cannot get married should fast and control themselves. The only way to satisfy your desires that has been mentioned is to get married, failing that a person should fast to control himself and from that scholars have derived the ruling that masturbation is Haraam, whether it involves pornography or not.

Others more knowledgeable can shed more light Inshaa Allah.
