It is referred to self abuse or self pollution in my world because of the mental and physical ailments it brings about. I've not seen one reference or mention of it without also saying the dangers of engaging in that activity.
Sherlock, I can promise you that physically pleasuring yourself will not hurt you. In fact, I'm fairly sure that not taking care of it at all when the need arises is just as likely to cause you problems.
You did. But Sherlock, this also isn't behavior exclusive to people attracted to the same sex. Surely people expect couples to consummate their marriage and have children, right? Why would a similar act that affects only one person be considered an ailment of the mind and/or body?
[Sherlock's obliviousness to all things sex-related is both adorable and concerning. Heizou knows he's never been even remotely interested in it, but coupled with his world's way of thinking... Someone please help that world out.]
Yes, I'm quite certain women do it, too. The method would be different of course, but that need for relief still exists. It's often part of why extramarital affairs are so common.
Sherlock, under no circumstances are you ever allowed to simply forego sleep to avoid your troubles. I'll start sewing your plush charms onto all of your clothes if you so much as try such a strategy.
[And he's very serious about that.]
I know it's embarrassing, but I promise you it's perfectly healthy to do.
[But also-- Oh. Heizou isn't sure he wants to go over the specifics of what they're talking about with Sherlock at the moment. Despite all his teasing, even Heizou still has a limit that's been ingrained from a life of Inazuman propriety.]
It shouldn't be difficult to figure out, but I'm sure there are also some books or something you can borrow from somewhere to learn more...
[ Sherlock would similarly perish, and then no one would be left to investigate their murders. ]
Heizou, you know exactly what happened the last time I turned to books for research on something like this. I was found out by a number of people and my reasons made clear. I fear I would be even more obvious in this case, and I do not even know where exactly to locate... that material...
[ He doesn't reply for a good long while. He's not following those instincts. He's following the instinct to flop onto his bed and smother his frustration and dismay into a pillow. Not that Heizou can see.

Wait, are you implying that women do that too?!
[ At least Sherlock is aware of lesbians now thanks to this world... ]

Date: 18 Feb 2025 07:19 (UTC)Are those really the only options available? There must be some other method. Perhaps I need to forgo sleep while I'm here...
[ No, Sherlock. Avoiding sleep is not the solution whenever you have dream related issues. ]
