If it is not harming anyone (including yourself,) then I suppose it does not count as misconduct.
Personally, though, I believe that pornography promotes the subjugation of women and is, in many ways, very demeaning.
I suppose that the women partaking in it do so of their own will, but still, I do not think it is something that I can ever be supportive of.

Doing yourself too often can affect your wrist, cause you to break skin down there, casue UTIs (busting your nut too much is busting your nut too much doesn't manner who/what does it), etc. That said I feel masterbation is natural whearas something like drinking and smoking isn't. That said I feel if you aren't over doing it (causing yourself aforementioned problems) then it is fine.

I agree with the others; if it's not hurting you or anyone else, it shouldn't be a worry.
The Buddhist rules for lay practitioners regarding sexual misconduct are mostly about not raping, not having sex with someone else's partner, and not taking advantage of someone who is too young to make a mature decision.
i.e. Don't take what isn't yours, or what isn't freely and knowingly given.
Since masturbation doesn't entail doing any of those things, I think you're okay. The only way it could be a problem is if you see it as being a problem.
P.S. Amber's right, though. Pornography has the potential to really screw up your views about women, love, relationships, etc. and I think it's important that you realize that.
