Masturbation

is the self-stimulation of the genitals for sexual pleasure, which may lead to orgasm. It is a common and natural activity practiced by individuals of all genders, ages, and sexual orientations. Masturbation can be performed using hands, objects, or devices designed for sexual stimulation.
