Etymology
The term 'autoeroticism' is derived from the combination of 'auto', which comes from the Greek word 'autos' meaning 'self', and 'eroticism', which is associated with sexual love or desire. The concept of self-induced sexual pleasure has been acknowledged since ancient times, with artifacts and writings from various cultures reflecting the practice. The term gained more prominence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in discussions around sexuality in psychology and medicine. Sigmund Freud and other psychoanalysts examined autoerotic practices, linking them to individual psychological development and societal norms. Over time, as sexual liberation movements emerged, the understanding of autoeroticism evolved, leading to greater acceptance and openness about sexual exploration and self-pleasure.
