self-pleasing
Seeking own satisfaction
Self-pleasing describes actions or attitudes aimed at one's own gratification, often with a hint of selfishness or disregard for others: a self-pleasing indulgence in luxury.
The term can also refer to masturbation, though this sense is uncommon and somewhat archaic.
