What the questioner mentioned does not fall outside the meaning of blameworthy masturbation. Masturbation occurs by inducing the emission of semen while awake, even without using the hand, a cloth, or friction. It can even happen through mere looking or thinking. Its ruling differs from the ruling of emission (inzal) resulting merely from talking to one's wife on the phone.
