Sigh...
Doujin has three meanings. Originally, it meant self-published material. This could be a fanwork or original, and it doesn't even have to be a manga.
Now, doujin more commonly refers to parody work, with hentai manga referring to original stuff.
The third meaning is using doujin as an umbrella for porn mangas.
All three are right since we're speaking english, not japanese, and these words like all others evolve. For example, take the word "trap".
