=== Literature ===
* Deenie, in the [[Judy Blume]] book of the same name, mentions touching her "special place" and wondering if that's why she developed scoliosis. Blume said that a principal banned the book from his school library, saying [[Girls Need Role Models|he might've allowed it]] [[Double Standard|if the character were a boy]].
* Similar passages in Blume's ''Then Again, Maybe I Won't'' have made the book a favorite target of censors. Or perhaps it's because of the boy protagonist's [[Naughty Birdwatching|nocturnal activities]].

* In ''[[Tales of the Otori]]'', sexuality in general is given generally pragmatic treatment: occasionally it's an important part of the plot, but for the most part it's just in the background of the characters' lives. As such, masturbation is mentioned, but only... [[Incredibly Lame Pun|off-handedly]].
* ''Skinny'' has a rather [[squick]]y scene where a young girl masturbates while in the tub.
Line 80 ⟶ 79:
* Sid from ''[[Skins]]'' is shown masturbating in the pilot episode, although it's debatable whether he falls into the 'nerdy loser' version of this trope. Knowing ''[[Skins]]'', there are probably definitely a million other *ahem* meetings with Rosie Palms within the show.
* In an episode of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', Buffy herself alludes to masturbating to a friend in 5th grade. "I moped over you for months. Sitting in my room listening to that Divinyls song 'I Touch Myself'". Which she pretends to have not known what it meant at the time. Considering Willow and Tara "doing spells" together—well, they are into magic (and [[Les Yay|each other]]) - Xander says, "Sometimes I think about two girls doing a spell together... and then I go do a spell by myself."
** In season 7 Andrew has locked himself in the bathroom to edit his documentary on Buffy.

=== Anime & Manga ===
* In ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion|The End of Evangelion]]'', Shinji does this {{spoiler|[[Dude, She's Like, in a Coma|over Asuka's comatose body.]]}} With an indiscretion shot of his creamed hand... yeech!
** [[Precision F-Strike|"I'm so fucked up..."]]

=== ComicsComic Books ===
* Mentioned several times in the comic series ''[[Y: The Last Man]]'' seeing as virtually the entire male population has died. One women casually mentions the difficulty of finding replacement AA batteries for vibrators, and titular last man Yorick tells of one extensive 'session' where the government installed open-air showers outside a hotel he was staying in.
 
Line 221 ⟶ 218:
* ''[[Grand Theft Auto|Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'' has a gag where one of the Brit junkies starts "having an appointment with Dr. Hans Jerkov" in Madd Dogg's studio.
** It's a sort of running gag—the guy is apparently addicted to it.
* In ''[[Fate/stay night]]'', one of the side effects of {{spoiler|Zouken's magical parasite worms}} on Sakura is increased sexual frustration, which she tries to cope with through masturbation. It doesn't work, but she [[Intimate Healing|moves on to Shirou]] [[Good People Have Good Sex|soon enough]]. Another is Shirou's erotic dream about Tohsaka in the same route. It's implied that this is something related to Rider and Sakura when we see Tohsaka's eyes, as they are the same as Rider's real ones. Also, he awakens with the same drained feeling as when Sakura has been leeching his magical energy. However, it's merely played as something to embarrass Shirou and never comes up again after talking to Tohsaka the next day.

=== ComicsComic Books ===
* In the ''[[Aliens vs. Predator]]'' comic book, a Marine left to guard the base is told there's some petroleum jelly in the supplies "in case he gets lonely".
 
Line 279 ⟶ 274:
 
=== Live-Action TV ===
* Mentioned on several occasions but (unlike the [[Unusual Euphemism|frakking]]) never actually shown in ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]](2004 TV series)|the 2004 ''Battlestar Galactica'' reboot]].
* This is briefly seen (with a [[Peek a Boo|wall as a censor bar]]) and interrupted in HBO's ''[[Generation Kill]]''.
** One of the episodes is named "Combat Jack" for the Marines' masturbating after the adrenaline rush of a firefight.
Line 303 ⟶ 298:
== Miscellaneous Examples ==
 
=== Anime &and Manga ===
* In the fourth episodes of the second season of [[Rozen Maiden]], the dolls said, that Jun is in the toilet, reading "magazines".
* The manga ''[[Onani Master Kurosawa]]''. In translation: Kurosawa, the Master of Masturbating.
Line 313 ⟶ 308:
 
 
=== ComicsComic Books ===
* During [[Neil Gaiman]]'s run on ''[[The Sandman]]'' in the early 90's, he was explicitly told by the editors that nobody masturbates in the DC Comics universe. In Gaiman's own words, "''actually, that explains a lot. That’s probably why the characters all dress in tight costumes and go around thumping the shit out of each other.''"
* The plot of the porn comic ''[[Small Favors]]'' opens with lesbian Annie being informed by an aspect of herself that she's exhausted her lifetime allotment of masturbation time. The photographic evidence supplied is a stack of photographs at least a foot tall... all of her masturbating at different times, all taken on ''the same day''.
Line 428 ⟶ 423:
* From a Hoedown on ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?|Whose Line Is It Anyway]]'':
{{quote|'''Drew:''' Let me tell you, ever since I was thirteen / You've given me the best lovin' that I've ever seen. / Let me tell ya something, that I know you can't stand / I've been cheating on you with my other hand!}}
* The title character of ''[[House (TV series)|House]]'' has on multiple occasions made snarky jokes about viewing porn in his office and masturbating. Given most of the walls are made of glass one hopes he is joking. Being that he's House, who knows.
** Appears to be true, and not just a House snark. At least we know from Cameron that he keeps his porn in the second desk drawer.
** There's also a rather squicky clinic scene where House deduces that a toddler's symptoms are result of this.
Line 440 ⟶ 435:
* In ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'', Marshall was worried about "reading a magazine" at work. Barney answered that he (Barney) "reads a magazine" several times at work. Barney was talking about masturbation, whereas Marshall was talking about taking a deuce at work.
** Also in chapter 13 of sixth series, he's asked to do it in order to get his sperm checked by a doctor. However, it becomes quite difficult to carry out...
* Johnny Vegas, on an episode of ''[[QI]]'', joked that Kellogg's Corn Flakes were designed to prevent masturbation in young boys.
{{quote|'''[[Stephen Fry]]:''' Johnny Vegas, [[The Cuckoolander Was Right|take some points]]!"
'''Johnny Vegas:''' ''(surprised)'' "You're Joking!" }}
Line 512 ⟶ 507:
* [[The Decemberists]]' "[[Billy Liar]]." "[[Unusual Euphemism|Decked by a Japanese geisha with a garland of pearls]]," indeed.
* [[Bawdy Song]] "Masturbation", to the tune of "Alouette":
{{quote|''Masturbation, we like masturbation!
''Masturbation, we like to masturbate!
(leader) ''How I love to choke my chicken!
(response) ''How he loves to choke his chicken!
(l) ''Choke my chicken!
(r) ''Choke his chicken!
(l) ''Masturbate!
(r) ''Masturbate!
[Chorus]
''continue with "spank my monkey", "bash the bishop", "beat my meat", "jerk the Turk" et cetera ad nauseam. }}
* "Never Enough" by [[The Cure]].
* Subverted with "Jizz in my Pants" by [[The Lonely Island]].

=== Theatre ===
* ''[[Avenue Q|]]'': Just grab your dick and double-click for porn, porn, porn!]].
* ''[[Rent|]]'': Mucho masturbation!]]
* ''[[Me and My Dick]]'' unsurprisingly has this as it's about sexual organs. Joey and Dick try to masturbate in the opening scene even! Later Vanessa and Flopsy imply they're about to.
