Sorry, I don't buy that. It flies in the face of all logic. Giving a man a handjob, even if that man is you, is a fundamentally homosexual activity that cannot be performed non-homosexually (unless of course a woman performs it, which is still a gross perversion and a waste of seed). The same goes for female masturbation, but the less said about that, the better.

The man is fantsizing, normally about the opposite sex. His penis is not the object of his desire. There are stacks of research that have been conducted showing it is a completely natural and human attribute. And harmless.
