Masturbation: Primarily involves stimulating one&39;s own body with hands or sex toys.
Sex: Includes more physical contact, such as kissing, touching, and intercourse, enhancing the richness of the sensory experience.

Masturbation: Lacks emotional exchange between partners and is usually onesided.
Sex: Emphasizes emotional connection and intimacy, strengthening the bond between partners.
4. Complexity of Experience:
Masturbation: Typically simpler, focusing on reaching orgasm and satisfying physiological needs.
Sex: Usually more complex, involving emotional, psychological, and physical dimensions, including foreplay and afterplay.
5. Social Interaction:
Masturbation: A solitary act that lacks social components.
Sex: A social behavior that can enhance intimacy and relationships.
6. Purpose:
