Talk:Autoeroticism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Would narcissism be considered a form of autoeroticism? Perhaps it's a stretch, but it seems to fit... Of course, I would have to add the explicit clarification that narcissism would be a sub group of the various types of autoeroticisms.--BlackGriffen
- I don't know if it's a form of autoeroticism, but it's certainly related. Maybe a mention and a link. --Dmerrill
[edit] Merger
- Don't Merge: Autoeroticism and autosexuality are entirely different things. Autoeroticism can occurs in a homo-, hetero-, bisexual orientation, etc. Autosexuality is usually (but not always) a orientation parallel to those aforementioned. --Zippanova 19:29, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
- I second that: I'd say why, but I'd be repeating what's been said above. MessedRocker 03:50, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
- Don't merge: one article is about the practice of self-gratification, the other is about a preference for self-gratification. These topics are only similar on the surface. --Icarus 09:48, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
- Oops, I didn't know there was a discussion going on before I merged, until it ws brought to my attention by Icarus. However, autoeroticism is a physical manifestation of autosexuality. Obviously, if most want to de-merge, then go ahead. Brisvegas 07:24, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Undoing this consensus-free merge
Hi folks. I have undone this old merge, which seems to have been carried out without consensus.
Autoeroticism is stimulating yourself sexually. Almost everyone does this, and almost none of the people who do it are subject to the unusual paraphilia of autosexuality, which means being attracted to yourself sexually. Your average teenage boy thinks about a girl, feels attracted to her, and then beats off. He doesn't say "Oh my dear right hand, I love you so!" except in dirty jokes!

[edit] Merge status as of May 2007
Late last month somebody put up another merge template thing, though did not mention it here. Well...
- Don't merge: They are different things. It would be like merging fruit and apple.
This doesn't appear very active though, and considering it's been debated before, I don't think anybody should be merging this. Cheers, Rothery 08:57, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
