Fingering currently implies masturbation.

this is pretty silly :P

we unimplied handjob -> masturbation... how about this one too?

they are no different yes but you need to find that its a CERTAIN action that the flash/picture is doing. you could be fingering your mouth for all we know, handjobbing someones tail? masturbating... something.

Ffff...

Masturbation is SELF pleasure. From our wiki:

A form of auto-eroticism, sexual stimulation of oneself.

A character can't masturbate another character. If one character is manually pleasuring another, it's fingering, a handjob or something else. If multiple characters are doing this to eachother, it's mutual masturbation.

Masturbation is not a specific action. It is not moving your hands in a certain way.

I can get myself off with my fingers, or my toes. I can grind against a pillow, I can use a vibrator, I can use a dildo, or two, or three, or 5. I can hump the arm of the couch, or use a phallic vegetable. I can use a shower or a bathtub, I can use moby-the-silicon-whale-dork (technical term), or a tiny finger vibe. ALL of these things are masturbation. I can do these things in front of you. You can watch. everyone reading this can watch me, and I'm still masturbating. but the moment someone--you, your friend, my sister, the neighbor, my teacher, the dang dog starts trying to help pleasure me as well? it's not masturbation. Then it becomes a form of sex.

You cannot 'masturbate' someone else. Only yourself.

Yes. You can give yourself a handjob, you can give someone else a handjob, you can kind of "handjob" someone's tail (though that's tail_grab) or finger someone's mouth (though that's finger_in_mouth)... there's also tags for anal_fingering and urethral_fingering...

TL;DR - masturbating is not something you can do to someone else, and it's not a specific set of actions. It's *self* pleasure.

Well, the definition includes pleasuring others (see http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/masturbation ), although I think we're best using it only to refer to self-stimulation to keep things simple.

damn you, dictionary.. D:

I agree. because otherwise almost anything can be regarded as masturbation, outside of the actual act of sex. D:
