There are many Authors who have given Histories of Women that have been detected in the Abuse of such large Clitorides, calling them Τριβας, Confricatrices, and the like, the Recital of one from _Tulpius_[30] may not be amiss, who after relating some Passages transacted by one of these and a certain Widow, makes this Reflection, ‘Though the Clitoris for the most Part lies hid, yet several have it so large, that they are thought by the Ignorant to be transformed into Men; but that this (whose History he writes) was in all respects a perfect Woman, having only the Clitoris half a Finger’s Length.’ And since this worthy Author has given us this Story so suitable to our present Purpose, it will not be unseasonable in this Place, to take some Notice of a Memoir in the Transactions of the _Royal Society_, presented by one Dr _Thomas Allen_[31], the Subject of which he calls an uncommon Lusus, and says, ‘This Hermaphrodite is not to be reckon’d amongst the Τριβαδες of the _Greeks_, nor to be equal’d by any Description yet extant.’ These Τριβαδες were no more than Women with Clitorides larger than ordinary. Such of them as are so may be capable, perhaps, of that Action from whence the Name arose, whether they perform it or not; and by considering the Sequel of this History, we shall find the Subject he describes to be no other than a very Woman, such as _Tulpius_ has given the History of. He says, ‘at six Years of Age, the Child playing and wrestling with her fellow Children, there appeared two Tumours like Hernias, but they proved Testicles, differing from those of a Man only in this, that each had its own distinct Scrotum; but in such a Manner, that the Production of both form’d the Labia of the Vulva.’ Our Author, after arming our Imaginations with an Expectation of something very extraordinary proceeds to describe a true Female Child, only he would allow her a Pair of Testes, but instantly owns the Scrota of these form’d the Labia. It would have been altogether as well to have said at once, the Labia were thicker than ordinary, for he could not positively say they were Testes without the Dissection of them, which was out of his Power, since we find him tracing her History to a more advanced Age. But further, he proceeds thus: ‘In the Sinus, or Fissura Magna, the Nymphæ and Carunculæ myrtiformes appear’d entire, and half the Vulva was cover’d with a thin Membrane from the Perinæum; and there was no Appearance of a Clitoris; the Uterus and its Neck were exactly like those of a Female.’
