Masturbation is the abbreviation of using self-consolation to vent sexual desire. It was formerly known as masturbation and self-sexual stimulation. It is a normal sexual behavior that is common in primates and humans.

Generally, animal masturbation is just the friction of genitals, without using tools or performing ectopic operations on the urethra or anus. However, human masturbation is much more expanded than that of primates: people will use certain objects as tools to Ectopic manipulation of the vagina, urethra or anus is abnormal masturbation.

For example, a young man inserted a piece of steel wire into his urethra to seek stimulation, but the wire accidentally slipped into his bladder. Ten years later, a goose-sized bladder stone formed with the steel wire as the core, and had to be removed surgically; an old woman's vagina often discharged smelly pus. The doctor took out a rotten walnut from it. After questioning, he found out that the walnut was inserted during masturbation three years ago; a young woman inserted a light bulb into her vagina to masturbate, but the light bulb broke and was removed after emergency surgery; a young man put a nut into the vagina After masturbating on the penis, he could not remove it, and the emergency doctor had to go through great troubles to remove it. Another young man put his penis into a light bulb socket to masturbate and was electrocuted. There was also a man who inserted a corn cob into his anus to masturbate, and the corn cob accidentally retracted into his rectum. It could not be removed inside, causing intestinal obstruction, so it was removed through laparotomy.

Abnormal masturbation is also called alternative masturbation, deviant masturbation, self-mutilating masturbation, bizarre masturbation, etc. There is no unified name yet. Clinically, foreign objects inserted into the urethra for masturbation include grass stems, wires, feathers, straws, etc.; foreign objects inserted into the vagina include bananas, cucumbers, water cups, etc.; foreign objects inserted into the anus include wine bottles, wooden sticks, rolling pins, etc. Similar cases have been frequently reported in medical books and popular media.

Self-injurers who get into trouble due to abnormal masturbation are often ashamed to tell the true story of their illness. It is difficult for family members and doctors to know the details, which can easily lead to misdiagnosis and mistreatment, causing the patient to experience greater pain and more serious consequences. For example: objects used for masturbation can cause rupture, bleeding, infection, inflammation, stones, infarction, stenosis, etc. of the inserted organ. In severe cases, it can lead to death due to intestinal obstruction, peritonitis, sepsis, and uremia.

Once an abnormal masturbation incident is exposed, the self-injurer is often confused, discriminated, and ridiculed by the people around him, and is regarded as a "weird", "pervert", and "sex addict", and his social status will also be greatly affected. , or even become a "historical stain" and be humiliated for life. It can be seen from the above that an unexpected mistake by an abnormal masturbator may lead to an even more unexpected lifelong tragedy.

The physical, psychological, and ethical conditions of those who masturbate abnormally are the same as those of ordinary people. When asked about their motives, people who self-injure often use "out of curiosity" or "self-exploration" as excuses or excuses. In fact, abnormal masturbation is similar to a kind of self-abuse. Like all human hobbies, obsessions, and addictions, its original triggers are difficult to elucidate. For example, a self-injured patient who inserted a wine bottle into his anus revealed that more than 10 years ago, when a doctor wiped his anus with an alcohol cotton ball to disinfect his anus, he suddenly felt a strong sense of pleasure. Since then, he has imitated the wiping action and tried many other methods. The object explored this pleasurable feeling deep into the anus, and finally stuffed it uncontrollably into the offending wine bottle.

Not everyone who has their anus wiped will feel pleasure and develop abnormal masturbation, just like not everyone is happy with anal sex and enjoys it endlessly. The original motivation of sexual pleasure is indescribable. Therefore, there is no need to make a fuss, discriminate and ridicule the diversity, complexity, variability, singularity and "incredible" nature of human sexual desires.

There are four bottom lines for correctly treating various sexual phenomena: first, "no harm", second, "consensual", third, not involving other minors, and fourth, "secret", that is, not in public or in public places. For example, if masturbation and anal intercourse are voluntary, there is no need to interfere. However, if they develop into harmful abnormal masturbation and unprotected anal intercourse, they must be stopped. In order to prevent the harm of abnormal masturbation, the following suggestions are recommended:

(1) In the sex education content, explain the reality of abnormal masturbation and its harmfulness, and do not abuse the objects around you to masturbate. There is a contradiction here that is worth noting, that is: once teenagers who did not know about abnormal masturbation took the risk once they learned that sexual pleasure can be obtained from other objects and other parts, educators became instigators, aiding others, and the gain outweighed the gain. Should we talk about this content or not? Are there advantages or disadvantages? Whether it can be discussed as a sexual research project.

(2) At present, not much is known about the exact status of abnormal masturbation among the population, and it is necessary to conduct case studies and group studies on this. The study can incorporate and promote the use of safe artificial sexual devices, such as artificial penises, artificial vaginas, rubber dummies, vibrators, etc. Pay attention to cleaning and disinfection when using. In the past, they were called pornographic tools, but in fact, they help to vent sexual desire and improve the quality of sexual life. They are "humanitarian" tools that are in line with people-centered and humanistic care.

(3) If you miss or have an accident during abnormal masturbation, you should seek medical help immediately and do not conceal the masturbation process so that the doctor can handle it correctly.
