I personally don't. But I know aces who have fantasies, they just ultimately never want to act on them. I have also come across aces who have said that they pleasure themselves.
Everyone does. Unless there is something wrong with your hormones.

To be honest I think that's unfair to say... Many people felt not wanting to have sex inherently means there's something wrong with your hormones but now we're understanding being ace is very much so a thing. They could just not want to do it. I don't think it's fair to assume everyone does.
No offense taken, mais or less I just like to clear up perguntas regarding aces for people who don't know. Because like everything each person experiences it differently.
Basically what Zanhar1 said. Yes, some do, we just do it for other reasons that aren't related to attraction. I know that in most cases, attraction and action (exp: masturbation) both kinda go together. And that's true for a lot of people, but not Asexual's.
Despite the misconception that if you are Ace, you can't do/be into this/that, it's entirely possible to be Ace and still function sexually. Because being Ace is not about what your body can/can't do, it's about not having any sexual attraction towards others.
In short: You don't need an attraction to functional sexually.
There are things I personally find attractive and can masturbate to but the idea of sex or being in any sexual situation with anyone else grosses me out.
It's different for everyone. Some are entirely ace and don't want anything to do with sex, some don't. I just don't experience much of an actual sexual desire or attraction myself. Asexuality is actually pretty fluid.
