There’s no single correct place. Choose somewhere private and easy to clean, such as:
- A tissue, toilet paper, or paper towel—then throw it in the trash.
- A washable towel or cloth—put it in the laundry afterward.
- The shower or bathtub, then rinse the area.
Wash your hands and clean any semen from your skin or surfaces. Avoid getting semen in someone’s eyes, and don’t ejaculate where it could damage belongings or create a mess for someone else.
Masturbation by yourself cannot cause pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections. If ejaculation is painful or you notice blood, contact a healthcare professional.
