Assalamalaikum,

First of all, sorry if this question is inappropriate, but I hope you can advise.
How should a man get sexual satisfaction if he is unable to find a suitable woman for nikah (both permanent marriage and temporary muta)? For example, if no woman is willing to do nikah with him. Should he then have a girlfriend, masturbate, hire a prostitute, or abstain from sex entirely (celibacy)? In what order of priority should these options be chosen?
Thank You.
