Debating/arguing/discussing about things that don't matter:
Jeremy: did you hear about the new stabbing?
Zoey: yeah, it is really terrible... I wonder why this keeps happening? people in the world... are sometimes so unpredictable.
Jeremy: Yeah... I hear you. I hope nothing like this happens again. Damn... those things are just so awful...
or
Jeremy: So my friend made a theater room in his apartment and they barely watch anything there.
Zoey: I would actually watch stuff in a theater room if I had one.
or
Jeremy: I think League of Legends is better than Dota
Zoey: I think Dota is better than League of Legends
Jeremy: Ok, let's give our full opinion and discuss exactly why we think they way we do.
Debating/arguing/discussing about things that matter without taking any action:
Jeremy: our system is broken... we really need to fix it. People need to be nicer to each other.
Zoey: You are So right. Change has to happen
Jeremy: Anyway... I gotta go to my 9 to 5 job. Wanna watch the new episode of Game of Thrones later?
Zoey: Yeah. Gonna go to study literature, I hope to become a book author. Maybe I'll even write a book about how the world needs to change.
Jeremy: Catch you later!
Zoey: Bye bye!

Get the intellectual masturbation mug.Verbal Masturbation is commonly found amoung the arrogant, highly self absorbed people.
when you verbally masturbate, you essentially puke out the most disgustingly boring things about yourself, and you only ever talk about how great you are, or how great your life is, blahblahblah.
a common feeling amoung the ill-faited audience of a verbal masturbater is the hard to ignore urges to slice off the offenders head, put it in a blender, and then feed it to dogs. and if they are REALLY not worth it, feed the head to homeless people, as they will take anything.

Get the tearful masturbation mug.When a person who is part of a culture or community identifies so strongly with it that they rarely talk about anything other than how much they love said culture and thus develop tunnel vision and narrow minded behavior.
Example 1: Tyronda's tumblr has over 300 posts about how proud she is to be black and how eminem's music is cultural appropriation. I think she has a cultural masturbation problem.
Example 2: John is always going on and on about the achievements of white people and how many things they've invented even though he hasn't accomplished anything himself. I think he suffers from chronic cultural masturbation.

Architectural Masturbation is exemplified by schools and practices such as Southern California Institute of Architects, Zaha Hadid Architects, Frank Gehry, many studios at the Architectural Association and UCL Bartlett, Coop Himmelblau, all among countless other kindred spirits, next-generation torch bearers and even sloppier imitators of which one notable example is Randall Stout Architects.
