Frig is not a word many people use for masturbate. It is what I grew up with because my mother used it.
Our use of the word 'frig', correctly detonates the English origins of my mother's ancestry.

We don't use it as a swear word, we use it to refer to female masturbation, it is sexually arousing to use.
My girls know when I tell them to 'frig themselves', that I have recognised that they are horny enough to distract them from other things they were, are, or should being doing, and the release of an orgasm will help them carry on with their day.
For the men, we use 'wank', I'm pleased to be able to say that my dad is a wanker, my husband is a wanker and my son is a wanker.And I want my daughters marrying wankers and I want my grandsons to be wankers and my granddaughters to be friggers like their mothers and grandmother (me).
You might notice we haven’t talked much about “friggin’” yet, and that’s because “friggin’” is not quite like the others. From the 15th century until the late 16th century, “frig” was an innocent verb in English, meaning to move rapidly, to rub, or to chafe. It was its own word, entirely unlike “freaking” and “fricking,” which are, essentially, made up words which sound like “fucking.” (Yes, “freak” is its own word, but “freaking,” as a verb or expletive, is entirely unrelated and born much later.)
By the late 16th century, “frig” had taken on a sexual meaning, referring specifically to masturbation, and usually female masturbation. The earliest examples were kind of punny, used by wordy playwrights and writers as a way to talk about sex cleverly. But soon the masturbatory meaning eclipsed the nonsexual meaning. “Frig” was a very common expletive, if a fairly mild one, until around 1850, when it suddenly dropped off in popularity. Until, that is, the word was reborn.
A century later, “frigging” was dug out of the closet, now used as a minced oath for “fucking.” This is, to say the least, not how minced oaths usually work—they’re typically minced oaths, not reconstituted ones. “Frigging,” previously profanity in its own right, lost both its edge and its original meaning and became wholly acceptable as an anodyne substitute for a completely different swear word. “By the mid-20th century it’s become a minced oath, so it’s not considered offensive anymore, really,” says Bergen.
