I've heard from everyone sex is a good way to start labor. But what do you do if you're not having sex? My boyfriend won't be back until after I have her. Could masturbation jump start labor?

Yes.  Orgasms help.

It doesn't jump start labor. It helps to progress you from an inactive labor to active. Orgasm will work.

The sperm is what helps to ripen the cervix, but masterbating will help with contractions when you orgasm.. there are other ways to help jump start labor if you wanna get to that point.
