A member asked:
Is masturbation considered being sexually active? i haven't had a sexual intercourse with other, just masturbation.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Masturbation is a form of sexual activity but in most discussions the term "sexual active" implies behaviors involving a partner. It opens the discussion to concerns over sexually transmitted disease, which are part of the risk partner sex has that solo sex does not.
