Question
Is mutual masturbation considered premarital sex

Answer
We cannot properly "flee from fornication" if we do not really know what it is. Some in today’s world have adopted a false idea as to the meaning of “fornication.” They imagine that they can satisfy their sexual impulses outside of marriage as long as they refrain from actual sexual intercourse.

However the word for fornication is--"PORNEIA" in greek & it applies to; illicit sexual relations outside Scriptural marriage. It includes adultery, prostitution, and sex relations between unmarried individuals as well as oral and anal sex and the sexual manipulation of the genitals of an individual to whom one is not married"

So the answer to your question is Yes.

I am a mother of 4 and I taught each of them the scriptures,I have used the bible to help my youths to get answers to their questions, so I am sure I can answer other youths also.The bible answers such questions as," what does God think of-- Homosexuality, sex before marriage,smoking, dating,drinking etc.Youths want answers, but sometimes it is difficult to find just where the bible speaks about such things, and that is where I come in, I will point them to the appropriate scriptures.
