Explain if the following scenario is masturbation or not: I have an almost-daily habit where I hug and kiss my pillow very passionately, imagining it as my girlfriend — the girl I deeply wished to be with. While doing this, I get emotionally involved, like I'm making out with her. I don't touch my genitals directly or rub them against the pillow, but I do get an erection, and it starts throbbing during the process. Sometimes, I pull back the foreskin slightly to check, and I notice pre-cum has come out. At that point, I stopped. This pattern repeats daily, and I’m starting to feel like I might be masturbating, even though I’m not stimulating myself with my hands or the pillow. Back in the days when I used to masturbate,I used to hump the bed. But it's been 2 years now. There's more to do in life other than this cheap stuff. I'm trying to get hold of one habit that makes me over generalise.
