Wahrend des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts haben Mediziner, Theologen und Padagogen gemeinsam einen erbitterten Kampf gegen die Masturbation junger Menschen gefuhrt. Zwar ist die Einstellung im Verlauf des 20. Jahrhunderts allmahlich freundlicher geworden, doch hat die Selbstbefriedigung bis heute ihren Problemcharakter nicht verloren. Strittig ist vor allem die moralische Beurteilung. Hier reicht das Meinungsspektrum von strikter Ablehnung bis zu uneingeschrankter Bejahung. Die zwecks Klarung der Probleme dringend erforderliche Auseinandersetzung konnte durch die Einbeziehung des historischen...
