** Ellie and Fi discuss in one book whether they think the guys do this when the girls aren't around. Ellie reveals that she once walked in on Homer masturbating, and decided not to mention it to avoid awkwardness.
** Later, in ''The Ellie Chronicles'', Ellie also walks in on Gavin (who is deaf, and so wouldn't have heard her knock). Ellie leaves quickly before he can see her, and makes a mental note to tell Homer to have a talk with him.
