One quick google search tells you that they are hardly religious at all, but refer to a number of studies that f.e. showed increased testosterone levels for men that abstained for a few months and a couple of other positive effects like reduced risk for ED. No idea how reliable those studies are, not that I care much either. The problem is not really with masturbation anyway, but with excessive **** consumption and visual stimulation, wearing down your internal "reward system" and creating withdrawal states which can lead to an addiction. There is nothing new about this either, standard symptoms of an addiction to virtually anything.
I think their claims about women being able to tell whether you masturbated is more a self-fulfilling prophecy. If they deem their adherence to **** a bad thing (doesn't even have to be an addiction), it's likely they will feel guilt and shame in the presense of women and act accordingly. So once they "free themselves" from **** and masturbation alike, they act more confident. But none of that would even happen if they weren't stricken by guilt and shame beforehand.
