What really is the difference between masturbation and sex

Over the couple of days, there has been topics flying upandan on this forum about masturbation being bad for your health, bla bla bla.... About which is a "better sin" — masturbation or 'fornication' bla bla bla.

But one thing I've come to notice is that most of the commentators are coming from the angle of religion (don't blame them; religion has rewired their brains and the way they think), but no one really says anything meaningful scientifically about how masturbation or 'fornication' —as they say— negatively affects people.

Someone went to the extent of saying masturbation drains protein from your body (I stand to be corrected, but I have never come across that fallacy in the course of my various researches).
In summary, masturbation has been termed "unhealthy" and "dangerous".

Masturbation is like making love to yourself, while sex is making love to someone else. Masturbation has always been prescribed as an alternative to sex but the way Nairaladers demonise masturbation has made me to wonder: how exactly does masturbation harm you? I really need scientific answers not some religious bullcrap.

There are people who would prefer masturbation to sex because it gives them ultimate control in obtaining sexual gratification. For example, the wives and girlfriends of the 3-minutes men. They are hardly satisfied by their spouses and they finish themselves off by their own self.

When you say masturbation is dangerous, are you talking of the man who vigorously jerks off his joystick to orgasm or the man or woman who gently strokes his genitals till he attains a mind-shattering orgasm? Are you talking about the man who practices 'self love' or the one who's got the whole length of his joystick bruised due to 'mad-man-jerking'?

The last time I checked, the 'oyimbo' people recommended frequent sex (and masturbation in the cases where you no see person wey go share im punni/d!ck with you).

I have typed pretty much. Make I stop the rambling.

I just need scientific answers from those of you who are against masturbation. What really is harmful in masturbation and pls give me references. Don't just blab what you think is correct and appropriate, rather blab what you know is correct and accurate and give citations.

And those of you who think masturbation is different from sex, how is masturbation different from sex? I mean, in both cases, I feel real damn good whether I'm ramming the heavens gate of my girlfriend or whether I'm making love to myself. (Although I prefer it with my partner).

WHY IS MASTURBATION HARMFUL? (No religious citations pls)

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MASTURBATION AND SEX?

Two questions needing sincere answers. Oya!

There is nothing wrong with masturbat1ng but there is a big difference between masturbat1ng and sex. When you have sex with someone there is a lot more involved than just reaching orgasm to relieve yourself of sexual tension. Not only is it physical but there are emotions at play, even when you have casual sex ...
There are also all the other factors that are so totally different from masturbating, like the different textures, sounds, touch and all the other senses that you experience when you are with another person and which you can never experience when masturbating.

MASTURBATION alone
SEX two people

as you can see, HUGE difference!

Unfortunately, you could not prove the difference?

Most doctors and most medically sound sources on the internet will tell you that masturbation is natural and healthy and can't hurt you. This is based on the best objective, testable evidence available, rather than on belief.

Sex activity is a normal thing for your body,humans are made to have sex a lot and both sexes enjoy it even when no baby can happen...It doesn't make sense that it could hurt you.

It weakens your erection, and causes quick expulsion

Hmmm...

Lies from the pit of the hell called Nigeria.
