Masturbation is forbidden, and repentance from it is obligatory. (ritual bath) is not required unless semen is discharged. If nothing is discharged, then nothing is required. If pre-seminal fluid (madhi) is discharged, then wudu (ablution) is required. If the well-known semen is discharged, then ghusl is required. Without the discharge of semen, ghusl is undoubtedly not required.
