This post019 Archivespart of Mashable's Masturbation Week. May is National Masturbation Month, so we're celebrating by exploring the many facets of self-love.
So you want to talk about masturbation, but you don't want to say "masturbation."
First, have you considered just saying "masturbation?" It's a fine and good word to say; plus, it's gender-free! But if you reallycan't do it — or if you're some kind of slang aficionado — you'll be thrilled to know that there are dozens of unusual euphemisms for masturbation at your disposal.
SEE ALSO: Actual things you can do to bridge the orgasm gap in your own bedroomWe've compiled a selection of 50 for you here, all from the deep tunnels of our blessed internet. Some of these images are specific to female masturbation, and some are specific to male masturbation. (We need more terms that aren't just for men, to be honest.) Some are not specific at all. And some are so deeply confusing that we simply do not know to which body parts they are referring. But maybe you do. In that case, can you let us know?
