Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Regarding your concern, I would explain that sexual intercourse is evaluated as a medium intensity physical activity. Masturbation is a similar activity.
It may lead to some tachycardia, but nothing special. You can take note of the time and refer it as running or jumping.
There is no way the doctor can know what you are doing at that moment.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
