Does cheating on someone cause them more harm then lying to them about masturbating?

presumably the whole point is that people who are anti-masturbation think it's harmful so "nonharmful" begs the question

"Take sex away from people. Make it forbidden, evil. Limit it to breeding. Force it to back up into suppressed sadism. Then hand the people a scapegoat to hate. Let them kill a scapegoat occasionally for cathartic release. The mechanism is ages old."

This sort of "revealed preferences are moral" argument also applies to littering, cheating on taxes, yelling at strangers, etc. The commonality is that most of these behaviors have large negative externalities, which is why social pressure is needed to prevent them.
