Sex
I have been married over a year now, and have never experienced any
satisfaction in initu. The glands seem to secrete the fluids, and
the cupido congressus is there, but no satisfaction. I am always
sleepless and nervous afterwards and sometimes suffer from headaches
the following morning. I am at times bothered with leukorrhoea. When a
child faciebam stuprum manu, but not since my sixteenth year of age,
and I am at present twenty-five years old. I have never been pregnant.
The following case is extremely interesting, because the patient is
able to induce orgasm only in one certain position. In all other
positions she is impotent of experiencing libido. In March, 1908, the
patient consulted the author about her anomaly. Being a highly educated
woman (she was a school teacher before she married) she was asked to
write in a letter the history of her case, and the following are the
contents of her letter:
I am forty-one years of age, eleven years married, have two children,
one ten, the other eight years old. I began to menstruate at the age
of thirteen and was always regular, the menstruation lasting three to
four days. The flow was always scanty.
As a child I was sad and dreamy. I can recall times when I would
weep, I scarcely knew for what. When I was nearing puberty coepi me
stuprare manu. No one taught me. I could not help it; I did not know
what I did it for (I was reared on a farm). The method was sitting
on a chair and moving to and fro. I must have continued till I was
eighteen or nineteen years old. I stopped it long before I knew it was
wrong, long before I have ever read it in books. No one told me it was
wrong. I was a good girl in the eyes of every one.
At the age of twenty I went to college. I think the reason I stopped
stuprum manu was that my mind was greatly engrossed in my studies.
True, I often had the desire, but the association with the opposite
sex would lessen it. I was fond of men in a silent way. I never, even
though in their company, was familiar with them.
When twenty-three years of age I met one towards whom I was changed.
I could not keep away from his presence. I remained a virgin till we
married, when I was thirty years of age. I had known him seven years,
but only saw him often, say three or four times a week, for the last
two years. We spent only one or two evenings each week together. I
allowed and deeply enjoyed all caresses, but they were not of the lewd
fashion. I must have been excited sexually, for I would experience
excessive humorem ut in initu.
