\n

Stimulation of one\u2019s genitals, in young children often general stimulation but in adolescents and adults usually massaging of the penis or clitoris to orgasm.

Manipulation and stimulation of one\u2019s own genitals to achieve sexual pleasure, usually orgasm. It is practiced by most people at some point in their lives.<\/p>\n

\n

Touching the genitals and other sexually responsive areas of one\u2019s own body for pleasure, stimulation, and release of sexual tension.<\/p>\n

\n

Physical stimulation of the male or female external genital organs in order to produce sexual pleasure, which may result in orgasm.<\/p>\n

\n

The production of an orgasm by self-manipulation of the penis or ciltoris.<\/p>\n

\n

Stimulation of genitals or other erogenous areas, usually to orgasm, by some means other than sexual intercourse.<\/p>\n

\n

Sexual self-stimulation, usually to produce orgasm. Massaging the penis or the clitoris with the hand is the usual method of masturbation.<\/p>\n
