Self-gratification
Autoeroticism (also known as autoerotism or self-gratification) is sexual activity involving only one participant. It is the use of one's own body and mind to stimulate oneself sexually.

Masturbation has a similar meaning, but is not synonymous; masturbation is only ''physical'' stimulation of the genitals by oneself while autoeroticism encompasses all stimulation by oneself (masturbation or sexual thoughts), as well as involuntary experiences ( wet dreams or spontaneous sexual arousal). The term was popularized toward the end of the 19th century by British sexologist Havelock Ellis, who defined autoeroticism as "the phenomenon of spontaneous sexual emotion generated in the absence of an external stimulus proceeding, directly or indirectly, from another person".

Autofellatio
Autofellatio is a form of masturbation involving the oral stimulation of one’s own penis. Performing fellatio on oneself is rare due to the flexibility required. However, notable figures have publicly documented training methods through online media, suggesting the act is generally attainable with consistent physical conditioning. History Egyptologist David Lorton says that many ancient texts refer to autofellatio within the religion of Egypt, both in the realm of the gods and among the followers performing religious rituals. According to Lorton, in the Papyrus Bremner-Rhind 28, 20–24, in a document called "Book of Overthrowing Apophis", there is a poem narrating how the sun god Ra had created the god Shu and goddess Tefnut by fellating himself and spitting out his own semen onto the ground.
