Encyclopedia > Autoeroticism

Autoeroticism is the practice of fulfilling one's own sexual needs without a partner. The most common form of autoeroticism is masturbation. Many people also use dildos, vibrators, anal balls, sybian machines, and other sex toys alone.


Most autoerotic practices are relatively or entirely safe.


One example of a dangerous practice is autoerotic asphyxiation. It often results in death, particularly when done alone.


Self-bondage is the practice of sexual bondage by oneself; it carries a higher risk than bondage with a partner, and there is a large potential for things to go wrong.

Fully aware of the risk they are taking with death, those who practice autoeroticism perceive the inherent dangers as a form of sexual stimulation and seek the fear instead of running from it.
