Sex
The patient lived happily with her husband until after the birth
of her first child. From that moment she became a slave of her
insatiable lust. An irresistible craving suddenly took hold of her, an
indomitable lust seized her to embrace men. She felt a morbid itching
in muliebribus, an inexplicable excitement, a burning desire for
sexual gratification. In the beginning her husband tried to satisfy
her until he discovered his impossibility to do so. She did not allow
an hour of the day to pass without demanding gratification from her
husband. He was terrified to see her premere muliebria to the edge
of the table or against the door or any other hard subject, in order
to satisfy her sensual appetite. When she became worse from day to
day, her husband took her to the hospital for examination. At the
introduction of the speculum, a morbid contraction of the constrictor
cunni muscle occurred suddenly. The touch of the carunculae
myrtiformes provoked intense pain. After surmounting the obstacle,
however, the pain ceased and a blissful rapture appeared. “Now! Now!”
exclaims the patient, when the entire speculum was within the vagina.
A convulsive movement seized her entire body, a thrill went through
her, et motiones vehementis congressus fecit.
Some nymphomaniac women have illusions of coition. Such a case has been
reported by Rosse.
A comely young woman who suffered from nymphomania practised stuprum
manu to excess and declared one day that several persons, among them
her clergyman, se constupraverunt. The sexual excitability in this
case was exaggerated to such an extent that the mere sight of a man,
even of the attending physician, suggested a repetition of the act to
provoke the venereal spasm. So persistent was the habit that on tying
her hands se feminavit with her heel. To prevent this her feet were
secured, but she succeeded in bringing about an orgasm fricando femora
ultro citroque ita ut clitoridem excitaret. The patient died at a
retreat.
If the hyperaesthetic woman is unable to satisfy her desires she shows
all the symptoms of general neurasthenia. Especially does she suffer
from neuralgia of the ovaries. The case of Rohleder is the best example
of the disturbances unsatisfied nymphomania may cause.
The patient, a girl of eighteen, and a member of a family of good
social standing, was engaged to be married. Until she was sixteen and
a half years of age she was always well. At that time she made the
acquaintance of her intended. Then a great change took place in her
disposition. She became very nervous and moody. Now she was very gay,
but a moment later became deeply melancholy. Her menstruation was
regular, but at that period she suffered great pains at the ovaries,
especially before the menses set in. When she met with her fiancé
her pains increased so that they caused convulsions. She could find
some relief stupro manu. After she got married, all the symptoms
disappeared.
