Masturbation

Masturbation refers to the stimulation (stroking, rubbing, caressing) of one's own genitals to give pleasure. In colloquial language, men also talk about "wanking" or "jerking off". Everyone can decide for themselves whether they enjoy it or not. In the past, it was claimed for moral reasons that masturbation was harmful in order to prevent young people from doing it - but that's not the case!
