Sorry, those are my own words. I can't give an exact quote, I've merely heard it referred to that in the past in context of masturbation and contraceptives.
EDIT: Just got back from some googling. There is no real rule in the Old Testament regarding masturbation or contraception. What rules there are (known as the oral law*) comes mainly from the commandment to be fruitful and multiply (which is generally regarded as a commanment to Jews to have sex as often as possible and have fun with it at the same time).
(There's also the story of Onan, which I'm guessing someone will bring up, but his punishment was way complicated and nothing to do with his wasting of seed and everything to do with shirking fraternal duty)
*The oral law is a detailed explanation of the specifics of many of the bible laws that seem unclear when read literally.
