The question

Did the oath depend on the intention of the one swearing: "I swear by Allah that I will not masturbate," meaning that masturbation refers to ejaculating semen, and that the intended meaning of ejaculating semen is masturbation until semen is ejaculated, and not its general ejaculation?

The answer

If what you swore concerning masturbation and ejaculation did not occur, then you have not broken your oath, because an oath is based on the intention of the one swearing it. With the reminder that masturbation is forbidden and impermissible.
