Masturbation, vutulaki or sarkamaro is when a person touches their own body for sexual pleasure.

People masturbate in lots of different ways. Touching your own body for sexual pleasure is different for everyone. How you do it depends on what makes your body feel good. For girls, the clitoris can give great pleasure when touched. Masturbation sometimes results in orgasm; sometimes it doesn’t.

If someone masturbates in front of you without your consent, that is against the law and you should call the police.
