20	Plenty of people [[SexualEuphemism have dates with ol' Rosie Palms]], although it's not something you'd bring up in polite conversation. However, it's given quite a different treatment in fiction. Unlike NobodyPoops or NoPeriodsPeriod (where the function is simply not mentioned because it would be NauseaFuel), masturbation in fiction often fits into a few different categories:
21	* It's [[HormoneAddledTeenager aimed at or about teenagers]] (usually PlayedForLaughs) and the character is usually a horny teenage boy, and another character, usually the parents, think that he's masturbating when he is very obviously ([[InnocentInnuendo or sometimes not so obviously]]) ''not''.
22	* The character masturbating is sexually frustrated, disturbed, perverted, or is a [[ThisLoserIsYou nerd/has no social life]]. When SexIsCool and EverybodyHasLotsOfSex, masturbating is portrayed as a shameful last resort for losers who can't get laid. Except for those depicted doing it as one part of a sexual encounter itself, of course.
23	* It's a single-sex setting such as a prison, boarding school, or military vessel, and the character is uninterested in a [[SituationalSexuality same-sex encounter]], so they take matters into their own... [[{{Pun}} hands]].
24	* Artificial insemination due to [[OnlyYouCanRepopulateMyRace lack of partners]], [[AllLesbiansWantKids incompatible sexual orientation]], etc.
25	* In UsefulNotes/{{porn\|ography}} or erotica, it can be used for the sexual titillation of the viewers.
26
27	These tropes cover various concepts related to masturbation.
