It is not permissible to extract semen by any means other than sexual intercourse, due to the harm it causes. However, if a person thinks and semen is discharged unintentionally without deliberately invoking the thought, there is no sin upon him, but he must perform . But if he deliberately invokes the thought to discharge semen, it is not permissible, and he must perform ghusl. This contradicts the character and chivalry of a Muslim. A Muslim must distance himself from such thoughts and occupy himself with what benefits him in his religion and his worldly life.
