Abstract

The aim of this paper is to answer the question: what attitude to take towards autoerotic behaviour in spiritual accompaniment? After explaining the basic concepts, a brief presentation of the most important Church documents on sexual morality from the era after Vatican II follows. The explanation is complemented by a chapter on the collection of semen for medical reasons. In the outline of pastoral counselling, the author emphasizes consideration of the particular person, their age, state of life, progress in spiritual life, etc. For this reason, he distinguishes autoerotic behaviour in adolescents, singles, married couples, seminarians, novices, priests, religious men and sisters after perpetual vows. He works on a short case study, which he supplements with his reflection.
