Autoeroticism
Autoeroticism (also known as autoerotism or self-gratification) is sexual activity involving only one participant. It is the use of one's own body and mind to stimulate oneself sexually. As an extension of masturbation, it usually means one of several activities done by oneself to fulfill their own sexual desire. Masturbation has a similar meaning, but is not synonymous; masturbation is only ''physical'' stimulation of the genitals by oneself while autoeroticism encompasses all stimulation by oneself (masturbation or sexual thoughts), as well as involuntary experiences ( wet dreams or spontaneous sexual arousal). The term was popularized toward the end of the 19th century by British sexologist Havelock Ellis, who defined autoeroticism as "the phenomenon of spontaneous sexual emotion generated in the absence of an external stimulus proceeding, directly or indirectly, from another person". Autosexuality is a similar term, which is a sexuality for oneself, and is usually acco ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Autofellatio
Autofellatio is a form of masturbation involving the oral stimulation of one’s own penis. Performing fellatio on oneself is rare due to the flexibility required. However, notable figures have publicly documented training methods through online media, suggesting the act is generally attainable with consistent physical conditioning. History Egyptologist David Lorton says that many ancient texts refer to autofellatio within the religion of Egypt, both in the realm of the gods and among the followers performing religious rituals. According to Lorton, in the Papyrus Bremner-Rhind 28, 20–24, in a document called "Book of Overthrowing Apophis", there is a poem narrating how the sun god Ra had created the god Shu and goddess Tefnut by fellating himself and spitting out his own semen onto the ground. In ancient Egyptian texts, this act is usually performed by the god Atum, and most texts depict only the spitting of the semen or only the masturbation, but not both. Michel Fouc ...

Sybian Machine
A Sybian (), or Sybian saddle, is a type of masturbation device, consisting of a hollow saddle-like seat containing two electric motors, motor speed controller boards, gearing, pulleys, and a platform on cranked axles such that a ridge on the top of the unit can be made to vibrate through a range of speeds as set using a wired external hand controller, and an upward-pointing shaft set on an angle through the ridge can be made to rotate at speeds of up to several hundred revolutions per minute, again by use of the wired remote control. Flexible molded attachments are usually supplied, fitting over the vibrating ridge and shaft which mostly have integrated dildos on their top. In use, the rider inserts the dildo into a body orifice for internal stimulation while applying pressure on the vibrating ridge with their external erogenous parts. Development According to its inventor, Dave Lampert, the Sybian was first conceived in the 1970s and developed in 1983. A prototype was built in ...

Performing cunnilingus on oneself requires an unusually high degree of flexibility such as that of contortionists or double-jointed people. Documentation While possible for a small number of women, autocunnilingus has not been thoroughly studied or well-documented. It has, however, been reported as a self-destructive fantasy, and other occurrences of the act have been reported in macaques and chimpanzees. Fiction In "Besorgung", one of his , Goethe imagined Bettina becoming sufficiently limber to perform autocunnilingus and do without men.

Premarital Sex
Premarital sex is sex before marriage. It is an act of sex between two people who are not married to each other. Premarital sex is considered a sin by a number of religions and also considered a moral issue which is taboo in many cultures. Since the second half of the 20th century, it has become accepted by certain liberal and progressive social movements, especially in the Western world. A 2014 Pew study on global morality found that premarital sex was considered particularly unacceptable in Muslim-majority countries, such as Malaysia, Jordan, and Pakistan, each having over 90% disapproval, while people in Western European countries were the most accepting, with Spain, Germany, and France expressing less than 10% disapproval. Definition Until the 1950s, "premarital sex" referred to sexual relations between two people prior to marrying each other. During that period, it was the norm in Western societies for men and women to marry above the age of 21, and there were no co ...
