I used to use that example. But you have to make it stronger: On a desert island, alone -- no God either -- surrounded by a STERILE sea with only a plastic palm tree for company, what wrong can you do? Not much. Not anything. Neither masturbation nor suicide would count as no-no's since these activities (at least one of which is short-lived), usually are said to offend God, who's not around. So some would argue that under these circumstances suicide is the only noble thing left, once you've had your fill of the other thing.

Ethics, by definition, is therefore not a private matter.
