Lots of people masturbate! It's nothing to be ashamed of.; Orafter maybeall, it's is.both Eithersexually waysatisfying and good for your health. However, it's not something you'd bring up in polite conversation, since nobody really wants to talk about playing with their genitals. However, it's given quite a different treatment in fiction. Unlike [[Nobody Poops]] or [[No Periods, Period]], where the function is simply not mentioned because it would be [[Nausea Fuel]], masturbation in fiction often fits into four different categories:
* It's aimed at or about teenagers (usually [[Played for Laughs]]) and the character is either a horny teenage boy, or another character, usually the parents, think that he's masturbating when he is very obviously ([[Innocent Innuendo|or sometimes not so obviously]]) ''not''.
* The character masturbating is [[Hollywood Dateless|sexually frustrated]], disturbed, perverted, or is a [[This Loser Is You|nerd/has no social life]].
* It's a military or a prison setting. The masturbation here would be explained by the shortage of women ([[Amazon Brigade|or men]]), boredom and loneliness. In some other cases (such as the infamous Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse case), it can be used as a form of psychological torture via personal humiliation. For obvious reasons, the latter case is '''heavily''' frowned down upon.
* In porn or erotica, it can be used for sexual titillation for the viewers. In hardcore porn, masturbation also tends to be used as a way for boys to ejaculate onto their partners after pulling out, as doing the latter right before an orgasm is incredibly difficult and extremely risky; there's no guaranteeing that the boy's semen won't end up in his partner or on their vulva/anus (which is enough for a girl to get pregnant or for the partner to contract an STD, regardless of gender), or that the boy won't end up contracting an STD himself from an accidental creampie. Note that while venereal disease tests are frequent in the porn industry, there have been multiple cases of pornstars getting pregnant or infected as the result of a faulty shoot. Pornographic examples of masturbation can either occur via a person stimulating themselves or by having a partner get them off; female masturbation tends to be depicted more often in porn due to the larger amount of methods by which a girl can achieve sexual stimulation (rubbing, fingering, fisting, placing a vibrating object on the vulva [or the crotch area on the object if the latter is too large], or sticking a foreign object in the vagina). Male masturbation isn't too uncommon either, though in most pornographic works his partner is the one jerking him off; the main exception to this is when a boy is intending to ejaculate soon, in which case he usually chokesstrokes his own chickencock.
 
Of course, there's a pretty valid reason why "normal" masturbation isn't depicted very often—it doesn't accomplish much. There aren't many ways that masturbation could advance the plot of a story, and because it's generally a solitary activity, there usually won't be any character interaction involved.
