I'd say intentional lying, deceit. But adultery is a close relative. The Buddha told Rahula: i tell you, anyone capable of telling an intentional lie is capable of any evil (paraphrasing).
When someone commits adultery he or she has to lie intentionally to their partners. Many intentional lies to hide their adultery. In this case adultery is not a close relative but the parent of intentional lies.
Masturbation is self love...the best thing for health and to feel good about yourself and make yourself happy. I usually have a big smile and release all the stress out of my body. Society and religion makes us feel guilty about masturbation is turning us on ourselves and making us feel guilty. That's abuse.
It is self injury not self love. Buddha said that the openings of our senses including sexual organs are like wounds and to engage in such acts keeps the wounds open. Buddha said It’s not your body- it’s borrowed and when you return it you’ll become bankrupt!
