It seems the thought of masturbation as evil all started with the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament and a guy named Onan. He felt that it was morally wrong to impregnate his brother's wife, even though God deemed it okay, so according to Genesis 38:9, "whenever he lay with his brothers wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from producing offspring." His actions were deemed a sin and masturbation was referred to as "onanism," well into the twentieth century.
