Actually it doesn't, it just says that if you wish to live a proper Catholic life, you should try to abstain from sin, Onanism being a sin because it's (according to Catholic doctrine) done purely for personal pleasure and not for the purposes of procreation, which is what the Church holds is the purpose of sexual relations between a man and wife. But the Church also recognizes that we are but human beings, and will inevitably sin, which is why they have Confession and expiation of sin. So wank all you want, and then go confess and ask for absolution, which will be granted. Then go and sin no more.
Within marriage, Catholics can be quite a randy bunch. Plus, there's no prohibition on drinking.
If you don't like restricting sex to the marriage relationship for the purpose of raising children, don't be a Catholic. Nobody's forcing anyone to be Catholic.
