词语手淫(masturbation)源自拉丁语动词masturbare:用手玷污……的纯洁,或用手扰乱……[即手(manus)+玷污……的纯洁(stuprare),或手+扰乱……(turbare)]。这个术语仅仅大约在200年前才被人译成英语。打那之前,显然少有世人使用具有明确涵义和描述的词,诸如“青年人的色欲(youthful
passion)”或“孤独的快乐(solitary
pleasure)”等就不具有明确的含义。但是,今天所使用的单词“masturbation
(手淫)”已经变成了大多数欧洲语言的一部分,并且在专业教科书里,它已经替换下了所有其它的表达方式。在这样的情况下,我们别无选择,在本教程里只有遵循这种普遍的用法[1]。
尽管如此,重要的是要认识到,手淫这个术语事实上相当不精确并且易引起误解,因为没有用手,男女都可以自娱。所以,对于当代研究者来说,我们认为自娱是指“任何产生性反应的故意的自我刺激行为”。

Basic Types of Sexual Behavior |
1. Sexual Self-stimulation |
Masturbation |
The word masturbation
is derived from the Latin verb
masturbare: to defile by hand or to
disturb by hand (i.e. manus: hand
+ either stuprare: to defile, or
turbare: to disturb). The term was
introduced into the English language
only about 200 years ago. Before that
time, people apparently used less
definite references and descriptions,
such as "youthful passions" or "solitary
pleasures".
|
Today, however, the
word "masturbation" has become part of
most European languages, and in
professional textbooks it has replaced
all other expressions. Under the
circumstances, we have no choice but to
follow the common usage in this course.
Still, it is important to realize that
the term is actually quite imprecise and
misleading because both males and
females can masturbate without using any
hands. Therefore, for modern sex
researchers,
masturbation is "any deliberate physical
self-stimulation that produces a sexual
response." |
