Ghusl

Ghusl (Arabic: غسل‎) is an Arabic term referring to the full-body ritual purification mandatory before the performance of various rituals and prayers, for any adult Muslim after having sexual intercourse, ejaculation or completion of the menstrual cycle, although wudu or just sleep, without either, are the lesser stages of purity that is acceptable.The washing is also recommended but not required (i.e. it is mustahabb) before Jumu'ah and Eid prayers, before entering the ihram in preparation for Hajj, after having lost consciousness and after formally converting.

If you have doubt as to whether there was something obstructing water from reaching your skin or not, after having performed the ghusl, you consider the ghusl as valid.

However, if you are sure it was there before the ghusl, and forgot during the ghusl, and then realised after the ghusl that it the obstruct was there, then as long as you kept your taharah, wash that part, based on the ruling of tarteeb (sequence). 

And Allah knows best.

In Islam, masturbation is a sin and prohibited for both males and females. It is also one of the invalidators of fasting, should it reach sexual peak. If what you mean by no vaginal discharge that she did not have an orgasm, then her fast would be valid. However, if she had reach to that, and if Ghusl Janabah becomes wajib on her, then it would invalidate her fast. She will hence need to repent, re-do that day as Qadha', and also pay Kaffarah of intentionally breaking fast. 

Ways of avoiding such an act are:

1. Focus on your level of taqwa and become more consciously wary of Almighty God in everything you do and wherever you are, especially when you are alone.

2. Increase in your practice of Dhikr of Allah ta'ala, especially when you wake up, and before you sleep.

3. Marriage.

4. Stay away from anything that provokes lust, and anything that brings about sexual excitement.  

And Allah knows best.

Bismihi Ta'ala

It is obligatory (wajib) to perform the ritual shower (ghusl) after intercourse. The ghusl made is called Ghusl al-Janabah. It does not necessarily need to be immediately after copulation, although it is makruh to do certain things in the state of Janabah, like eating or sleeping. You will also not be able to perform your prayers until you remove yourself from the state of Janabah. This is why it is best not to delay the ghusl for no unnecessary reason.

On a spiritual level it is also highly recommended to hasten in removing oneself from the state of ritual impurity.

And Allah knows best.

Bismihi ta'ala,

In our Fiqh, a wet-dream is called Ihtilam, (from the word hilm, which means dream). A wet-dream is one of the signs of religious maturity for a male, and its general definition is "the ejaculation of semen while sleeping."

Naturally a wet-dream occurs for both males and females, but there is a view that a woman does not have to do ghusl janabah when she has a wet-dream, and discharge. 

Most of our esteemed Jurists do believe that a woman must do ghusl janabah if she has a wet dream, on the condition that she has a discharge of sexual fluid from an ejaculation/orgasm. 

This means that in the wet-dream, if there is no discharge ghusl is not wajib.

Another important point is that according to most Jurists, the sexual fluid that emmits from an orgasm is considered to be Najis (impure).

And Allah knows best.
