性行為的基本類型

1. 自我性刺激:對自我性刺激認識的簡史

古代對自我性刺激的認識

克勞迪亞斯·蓋侖

[Claudius GalenusGalen)西元129-201]

古羅馬最偉大的醫師,他把手淫推薦為一種健康措施。

Claudius Galenus
 (Galen)
(129-201 AD),
the greatest physician in ancient Rome,  recommended masturbation as a necessary health measure

在古代,人們常常認為當夜行的天使、神靈或魔鬼在他們睡夢中拜訪他們的時候,自發的性高潮就會發生。這要麼可能是好事,要麼可能是壞事,全得依具體的境況而定。古希臘和古羅馬的內科醫生認為未被釋放的精液可能會變得有毒,因而必須在每隔一定的時間被釋放出去。如果沒有性伴在身邊,自我性刺激也就是一個有益的選擇。無論通過性伴還是自我性刺激射精,這個人的健康才會得到維護。另一方面,古代猶太人認為為了生殖的目的和永不被耗費",精液應該始終要儲存起來。所以,在睡夢中的自發性高潮是可惜的,並且手淫是一種嚴重的犯罪[1]


[1]. 在中國,由於修身養性的文化觀念和生育文化的原因,長久以來都認為一滴精,十滴血,失精乃傷元氣。因而,也反對手淫,尤其反對男人手淫。這種狀況在中國的文化中存在至今。——譯者注。

Basic Types of Sexual  Behavior

1. Sexual Self-stimulation: History
Antiquity
In ancient times, it was often thought that involuntary orgasms occurred when an angel of the night, a spirit, or a demon visited people in their sleep. This could be a good or a bad thing, depending on the circumstances. Ancient Greek and Roman physicians believed that unreleased semen could become poisonous and therefore had to be ejaculated at regular intervals. If no partners were available, sexual self-stimulation would be a useful alternative. In either case, the person’s health would be preserved. On the other hand, the ancient Jews believed that semen should always be preserved for the purpose of procreation and never be “wasted”. Therefore, involuntary orgasms during sleep were regrettable, and masturbation was a serious offense.
