According to popular belief, some groups of people — teenagers, loners, men of all kinds — masturbate a great deal. A character who locks himself in the bathroom or in his bedroom, or does something under the cover of a sheet therefore raises the suspicion that he's masturbating, even when he's doing nothing of the kind. The character may well be hiding something else so carefully that he can't or won't clear up the misassumption. Hilarity ensues. Sub-trope of Grossout Fakeout. Examples |

Inverted in one episode of House, a mother brings her four- or five-year-old daughter into House's clinic after noticing her making some odd movements, grunting, and rocking back and forth. She thinks the episodes are seizures and her daughter might have epilepsy, but she's horrified when House deduces that the kid is masturbating. | |

In an episode of Grey's Anatomy, George has a rash on his penis and is comparing it to pictures in a medical textbook in the bathroom. Izzy knocks on the door and, hearing George's strangled answer, assumes he's masturbating. Nothing he says changes her mind, including his insistence that he has a girlfriend, particularly when he yells out "I"m coming! I'm coming OUT!". | |

In the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds episode "Those Old Scientists", Boimler is acting very standoffish towards Una and, when pressed, Mariner casually mentions he has a poster of her in his bunk. Una initially thinks that he has a pin-up poster of her, however, before the ensigns return to the future, Mariner set things straight: the poster is actually a recruitment poster featuring her and the phrase "Ad Astra Per Aspera" on it and she was his inspiration to join Starfleet. | |

In Stripped to Kill, there is a creepy patron the strip club the dancers refer to as 'Mr. Pocket', because he always has one hand in his pocket and they assume he is jerking off through a hole in the pocket while he is watching them. He actually does this to conceal the fact that he is missing a hand. | |

King of the Hill: In "Hank's Dirty Laundry", Hank's credit card is falsely charged for supposedly renting and never returning a porn film. An anonymous benefactor (Bill) leaves Hank a stack of porn films and a note saying that evidence proving his innocence is somewhere within them. Hank watches the films while taking notes with a pen and paper, only for the pen to stop working at one point. Peggy walks in just as Hank is shaking the pen trying to get it to work again, but from her perspective, he appears to be masturbating. In "The Son Also Roses", Hank is suspicious as to why Bobby is spending so much time in his bedroom closet; it is implied that he thinks he is doing this, but he is actually growing roses and he's hiding it because he didn't want Hank to find out. |

My Huntsman Academia: In "Box of Issues", Weiss notices that an unusual amount of sticky tissues have been going in the trash. She confronts Izuku about it, who admits that he's been using them a lot because leaving "it" alone is like leaving "an itch that you need to scratch". He then apologizes for doing "it" by Weiss's bed and getting some of "it" on her sheets. She then drops to her knees from shock. Meanwhile, Izuku is left wondering why she's reacting so badly to the fact that he's been sneezing and blowing his nose because of a cold. In "Self-Experimentation", the girls get back from the shower and find Izuku sweaty and red-faced while hunched over his bed. Startled, he hurriedly exclaims that he was just "experimenting", only for the rest of his team to come to the conclusion that he was masturbating the way Kayama explained in class. In reality, he was just trying to push his ability to control One For All. |

Gen¹³: Inverted in the reboot by Gail Simone. Grunge has been shown as being a geekish, mommy-boy kid. Wanting to "reinvent himself", he cleverly and systematically rebels against it, for example disposing of all his anti-asthma medications, vitamins and dietary supplements in the toilet while faking a double-entendre laced Immodest Orgasm just to mess with his family. | |

Fujiwara then proceeds to mock him for his choice in underwear. | |

An episode of The Inbetweeners sees Neil thrown out of a nightclub because he is believed to have been masturbating in a urinal. In fact, he had been treating a cut on his genitalia. The reason was that he made some moaning sounds which was, of course, due to pain, but this wasn't obvious to the onlookers. | |

America's Sweethearts: Eddie sneaks over to the cottage his ex-girlfriend Gwen is staying in so he can get a glimpse of her through the window (he wasn't going to do anything, he just wanted to see her). He gets startled and falls crotch-first onto a cactus, forcing him to pull the thorns out while groaning loudly. Naturally this is when the security guards happen to spot him via the security camera, and because his back is to them, they assume he's doing something much creepier. | |

My Hero Academia: After his first training session with Gran Torino, Izuku goes out into an alleyway and starts throwing himself at a wall to try and perfect using One For All Full Cowl. His grunts of frustration and thrashing among the garbage bags in said alley catch the attention of a passing couple, who think he's some kind of pervert and run off (changed somewhat in the anime where they mistake him throwing himself at a wall as some form of self harm, but the result is the same). | |

Sometime later, her father walks into her room to see her asleep with the T.V. displaying a steamy scene from the game and the massager running. He simply turns the TV off, carries her to her bed and tucks her in. | |

Implied in an episode of The Fairly OddParents!: Timmy's parents watch a parenting video where the doctor says a red flag for children is locking themselves in their bedroom with a roll of paper towels. Of course, Timmy needs to clean up after a wish, so he promptly runs past with a roll of paper towels and insists his parents not come into his room. | |

In The Amazing World of Gumball, when Gumball and Hot Dog Guy, who end up having lots of weird cringey moments when they're around each other, wind up in bathroom stalls next to each other, Gumball takes loud, deep breaths to calm himself down, prompting Hot Dog Guy to think "What is he doing in there?!". | |

Father Ted: During an episode in which Ted tries to prove he's not a misogynist, he is asked to judge a beauty pageant and has to comment on the girls as they do their catwalks. Unfortunately, just prior to the announcements, he gets into a fight with Father Jack, who punches him in the stomach. This results in a great deal of exhausted groaning and wheezing during the announcements. Let's just say it doesn't sound too good coming out of a loudspeaker... | |

An episode of Modern Family had a couple debating whether to confront their son about his mysterious, private activity in his room. It turns out that he's... hanging upside-down to try to grow taller. The father scoffs at how much the son paid for the growth device - "He could have bought a 2-year subscription to Playboy with this!" | |

In the Duckman episode "Forbidden Fruit", Fluffy and Uranus are in the top bunk of their bed while Duckman is in the bottom (Duckman having been kicked out of his own house for being politically-incorrect). All of a sudden, the bed starts shaking, and Fluffly and Uranus believe their housemate is masturbating. However, when they look, Duckman is actually doing leg exercises, and is none too pleased that his assistants are watching him. | |

In El Goonish Shive, Elliot finds himself a victim of Involuntary Shapeshifting and goes to the bathroom to change back. Ellen hears him and inquires what he's doing as a girl in the bathroom. He responds that he wants privacy and "me time" which Ellen seemingly interprets as masturbation. Elliot realizes the implication and immediately tries to counter it. | |

Eleutherophobia: In Ghost in the Shell, Jake is looking at something on the computer and tries to hide it when Tom comes in. Tom assumes that Jake was looking at porn, but it turns out he was reading forum posts about Yeerks and momentarily forgot that Tom isn't one of them anymore. | |

Monkey Wrench: In "The Ghost Egg", Shrike walks past Nobert's cabin while the latter is sitting with his back to the open door, making gestures suggestive of jerking off. Shrike is appropriately horrified, until he realizes that Nobert is just playing with some action figures. Cue that horror morphing into annoyance. | |

Family Guy: Chris was once really just using the bathroom, but his Holier Than Thou grandfather assumed he was masturbating and railed against its sinfulness, making poor Chris too scared to use the bathroom for the remainder of the episode. After Chris is caught peeping in the girls' locker room, Peter approaches Chris' room, and there's a rapid thumping sound. Peter knocks and Chris yells at him to go away and come back later. Peter enters anyway and... Chris is playing with a ball and paddle. "Aww, I was going for a new record!" Peter then takes the paddle and sits Chris down to tell him that what he did was wrong before giving him his porn collection so he can look at naked women in a more acceptable way. Peter leaves and the thumping sound comes back... except Peter realizes he's still holding the paddle. |

The scene from Transformers (2007) in which Sam Witwicky's parents notice that he's hiding something from them in his bedroom. Sam can't tell them that his 30-foot-high transforming robot buddies are right outside the window, of course, and so hurriedly tries to get them to leave the room. Sam's mother outright asks if he's masturbating. Sam and his father are appropriately horrified and tell her to stop. When the outrageously hot Mikaela pops out from his closet, they quickly end their suspicions and congratulate him. In the RiffTrax commentary, Bill Corbett's suggestion definitely outdoes Mrs. Witwicky's "Sam's Happy Time" euphemism: he casts his ballot for "LaBeouf Strokinoff". | |
