 | | Autosexuality or autoeroticism is the sexual stimulation of, or sexual desire toward, one's own body. |
 | | The term was popularised 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. |
 | | Autosexual behavior is considered to be a normal part of human development, beginning when children are able to sexually stimulate themselves. |
