Masturbation is further found among peoples of nearly every race,
however natural the conditions are under which men and women live.
Masturbation was known among all races at every period of history.
It is reported that the great Cynic Diogenes practised autoeroticism
publicly in his tub.
Schools, academies, educational institutions, dormitories of colleges,
factories or prisons are hot-beds of masturbation. Prof. Schiller
published the observations in a certain gymnasium (collegiate high
school) where the boys had holes in the pockets of their trousers ad
stuprum mutuum faciendum during the lessons, in the presence of their
professors.
Thomalla knows of a boarding school where bets are made among the boys
on the skill of their exercitatio stuprosa. The boy who can induce the
ejectio seminis the quickest receives the prize.
Walter Benseman (Public School and Gymnasium) describes the most
deplorable conditions existing in a great many boarding schools in
England.
In France, Deville and Tarnowsky found the spread of masturbation in
schools, colleges and pensionates to be enormous.
Male masturbation, as a rule, is effected by fricando glandem manu.
Hence such mishaps, as often happen in woman, are of rare occurrence.
Still many queer objects were found in the male urethra or bladder,
such as quills, pencils, penholders, blades of straw, knitting needles,
pieces of bougies or of catheters, ear-spoons, tooth-picks, all
introduced for masturbating purposes. Senn removed in a young man,
nineteen years of age, a stem of a plant from the bladder, which was
introduced into the bladder for autoerotic purposes. The author removed
a pencil from the pars membranacea of a boy of eighteen, through an
incision in this part.
Such cases are exceedingly rare in the male. As a rule, autoeroticism
in men is accomplished by the hand alone, hence the name
“masturbation.” In some cases neither the hand nor any other means
is needed to obtain the desired end. The fancy of concarnatio alone
will produce the orgasm, as in the following case, told the author in
confidence:
A young man, twenty years of age, while sitting behind an attractive
young lady in theatre, was in the habit of allowing his fancy free
rein by imagining himself of being in complexu venereo with his fair
neighbor. This thought alone sufficed to induce ejaculation and
orgasm. One Sunday while sitting near a fair worshipper in church, he
got so excited that he had to practise ideal congressum cum ea during
the sermon.
