Masturbation, an Offence?

The question I want to ask is whether a guy should get offended by a man or a woman masturbating in front of him, not necessarily in public. If yes, what section of IPC punishes it?

I think when a person masturbates in front of a person, an assumption can be made that he fantasized about that person while masturbating. Is that rape? or an act similar to rape?

I think an act of masturbation per se can’t be an offence unless it falls under some category of offence like wrongful confinement or restraint forcing a person to watch the act of masturbation, indecent act in public, attack on the modesty of a woman, etc.

If you find masturbation offensive, don’t watch it. Definitely don’t play media stories on it. Definitely not take personal interest in the matter if you are a CM of the State where on an average 2 farmers/day commit suicide because of distress.
