autoeroticism
n.
sexual arousal or gratification through self stimulation
Autoeroticism
Autoeroticism is the practice of becoming
sexually stimulated through internal stimuli. The term was popularized toward the end of the 19th century by British
sexologist Havelock Ellis, who defined autoeroticism as "the phenomena of spontaneous sexual emotion generated in the absence of an external stimulus proceeding, directly or indirectly, from another person". The most common autoerotic practice is
masturbation, and though the two terms are often used interchangeably, they are not synonymous, since not all autoerotic behaviors are masturbatory.
Nocturnal emissions,
erotic daydreams, and
sexual arousal to 'sexually-neutral' stimuli (music, scenery, art, risk, spiritual reverie, etc.) are also examples of autoeroticism.
