Your choice: Both are healthy and anyone who tells you otherwise is misinformed or worse. I trust you're not obsessed with erotica so that it interferes with the other things you need to do. If you entertain yourself, which is most men's choice, you learn more about your mind & body. Vary your technique and thoughts to prepare you for possible future partner(s), and embrace your masculinity.
