There is a strong signaling component to masturbation because masturbation and sex are substitutes. So, for example, to signal to a lover that one is extremely interested in sex with them one might masturbate less than one would normally want to.
Also, by not masturbating you cause your brain to “automatically” put in more effort seeking out sex partners. This will likely mean you would have more success finding sex partners and so influence your signaling.
While a few very people brag about how much they masturbate, social taboos prevent most from doing so. Thus, a way for most to signal a strong libido is to not masturbate.
