You could also argue that masturbation is unnatural because it's a learned behavior and wasn't always a part of adolescence as it's thought to be in our society. I imagine at one point homo sapiens were not even aware it was possible for a period of their lives.
I don't see how anyone could seriously argue that, not at all. Masturbation is observed across the animal kingdom - nobody is teaching animals to jerk off.
Even more strikingly so is just how sexually active primates are in general. Bonobo sexual behaviour is legendary in being way more casual about it and common on average than a random selection of humans would be. Looking at other primate species, our sexual behaviours are absolutely with natural precedent.

I don't even masturbate a lot and lately I feel that nofap is something I should at least try. It might be unscientific or whatever but if it works it works, right? The power of placebo and such.
Don't get me wrong, I tried it once for a laugh as well. Eventually even the fun angle of edging/self-applied-submission wore thin, and all that happened was I was more spontaneously horny. Nothing else improved - all that really changed was that I stopped doing one of the things I most enjoy doing in my own time.
