This is not a definite list, but rather, just the ones that came to mind. There are bound to be subcategories and categories I didn’t think of. Please continue the discussion in the comments.
1. The informal.
This is the most basic type of masturbation. The purpose of which is both an orgasm and to enjoy either fantasies or pornography. This is accomplished without toys, time constraints, or limitations. It can involve nothing more than a hand and an ejaculate catcher, such as a sock, or tissue and possibly lotion. As time is not an issue, a person can be sitting, lying down, or in any other position needed. Most importantly, as it does not involve toys, cleanup is limited to the removal of the sock or other catcher of ejaculate. It is quick to begin and end.
2. The luxurious.
This type of masturbation involves toys, but is free of time constraints. Rather than just an orgasm, the point is for enjoyment of the act of masturbation. This is accomplished through stroking with a sleeve, anal stimulation with a plug or vibrator, or perhaps a wand, or any other toy based stimulation. Positions are limited to what works best for the toy. As sensation crucial, these sessions last longer than informal ones. Lube is almost always used, which means time, both for enjoyment and cleanup is important.
3. Bedtime. The second best way to fall asleep (third if you count “insert late night comedian here.” Hey-ooo). This is accomplished through lying down in bed, immediately before sleep. As such, toys that require cleanup, such as butt plugs, butt vibrators or sleeves should not be used. Further, given the tendency for semen to spray out of control, socks are the best catchers, as they collect nearly all of it and are easily tossed aside. There are no time constraints except for how late a person wants to sleep and the possibility of falling asleep before completion.
4. Shower.
Depending on the situation, there may or may not be time constraints. In a home with family members, there are definitely time perimeters and if a person is unable to climax within a few minutes, this should not be attempted in a busy house. In such a situation, toys are discouraged, as even if there was enough time, how does one transport a toy from the bathroom without being seen? When alone, or with a partner in the house, toys are certainly usable, but mind three things. One, if the toys are waterproof, two how much water is being used, if not for mother earth, then your water and power bills and three, why are you masturbating in the shower when you have a partner?
5. Public.
While this is not something I would do, if the writers of How I Met Your Mother are an indicator, some people do engage in sexual activities in public bathrooms. This type likely occurs either when the thrill is needed, or the need to climax is overwhelming. Discretion is paramount meaning no toys, unless the possibility of getting caught helps the process. Time constraints are many, as are the possibilities of getting caught and being a legal sex offender in some states. Not recommended.
6. Quickie.
This is when a climax is needed in a very short time. Unless toys really help speed up the process, just use a hand and whichever ejaculate catcher you prefer.
