性行为的基本类型

1. 自我性刺激: 简史

古代对自我性刺激的认识

      克劳迪亚斯·盖仑(公元129-201年)古罗马最伟大的医师,他把手淫推荐为一种健康措施Claudius Galenus
 (Galen)
(129-201 AD),
the greatest physician in ancient Rome,  recommended masturbation as a necessary health measure

在古代,人们常常认为当夜行的天使、神灵或魔鬼在他们睡梦中拜访他们的时候,自发的性高潮就会发生。这要么可能是好事,要么可能是坏事,全得依具体的境况而定。古希腊和古罗马的内科医生认为未被释放的精液可能会变得有毒,因而必须在每隔一定的时间被释放出去。如果没有性伴在身边,自我性刺激也就是一个有益的选择。无论通过性伴还是自我性刺激射精,这个人的健康才会得到维护。另一方面,古代犹太人认为为了生殖的目的和永不被耗费",精液应该始终要储存起来。所以,在睡梦中的自发性高潮是可惜的,并且手淫是一种严重的犯罪[1]


[1] 在中国,由于修身养性的文化观念和生育文化的原因,长久以来都认为一滴精,十滴血,失精乃伤元气。因而,也反对手淫,尤其反对男人手淫。这种状况在中国的文化中存在至今。——译者注。

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.
