The act of thinking, discussing, and/or philosophizing to no one’s spiritual, mental, or physical benefit, but purely for the sake of one’s own pleasure, intellectual self-satisfaction, and/or pride.
Note: Not all intellectual and philosophical discussion is intellectual masturbation, it only falls under the definition when it doesn’t benefit those in engaged in it, only harms due to wasted time and an artificial satisfaction in one’s self.

I remember when all I would do was engage in intellectual masturbation on Discord. I would use fancy words and blabber all day about philosophy, without actually applying it in any way whatsoever. I just derived pleasure from hearing myself speak about such abstract and complex subjects. What a fool I was.

When you or someone you know take something simple and hyper-analyze it to reach absurd conclusions.
Bob thinks that his attraction to tits is related to his maternal issues. He's a fucking idiot and intellectualizing. Sometimes you just like big tits.

Someone who claims to be an intellectual and selectively revises any subject matter to conform with an argument that supports their identity. Essentially ass raping facts and selectively picking information to make non-existent points that support their confirmation bias and support their own idea that they are an intellectually deep thinker capable of resolving ideas no one else can.
Karen destroyed the conversation at philosophy club with her intellectual sodomy by claiming that Nietzsche must have been a eunuch because there is no historical evidence of him sharing any dick paintings with women. Intellectual Sodomite
