solo sex
Alone with yourself
Solo sex is sexual activity performed alone, typically masturbation.
The term frames self-pleasure as a legitimate category of sex rather than a substitute for partnered activity: Solo sex can be just as fulfilling as sex with a partner.
It appears frequently in sex-positive discourse and sexual health contexts.
