WHAT DOES AUTOEROTICISM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

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 are also examples of autoeroticism.

Definition of autoeroticism in the English dictionary

The definition of autoeroticism in the dictionary is the arousal and use of one's own body as a sexual object, as through masturbation.
