I don't think that any one needs to discuss/mull over/interprete/react to/analzye the reason for/masturbation unless it bothers them on a very personal and deep level. I think that masturbation is an intensely personal thing that one doesn't have to admit to or recognize unless the are worried about it or think they "shouldn't do that nasty thing!" It can be a wonderful and relaxing/soothing thing for many of us. If is less than that, than it needs to be talked about and made normal and soothing. Just my take on the issue of masturbation.
