Etymology

The word 'masturbate' originates from the Latin word 'masturbari', which means 'to stir' or 'to self-stimulate'. The earliest recorded use dates back to the 19th century when it started to appear in medical literature discussing human sexuality. Historically, masturbation has been a subject of societal taboo and moral debate, with various cultures holding different perspectives on the practice. In the Victorian era, for example, it was often associated with shame and anxiety, leading to widespread misinformation about its effects. As sexual education progressed in the 20th century, understandings of masturbation became more accepting, recognizing it as a natural part of human behavior. Today, discussions around masturbation continue to evolve, emphasizing sexual health and autonomy.
