In Blinet’s case a young man becomes sexually very excited at the mere
sight of the pretty hand of a woman.
The author once treated a student who, while separated from his girl,
would take along her petticoat with him and would place it under his
pillow when going to bed at night. Otherwise he could not fall asleep.
A few years later he died in a sanitarium from an abscess of the brain.
A man, thirty-five years of age, married, father of two children, as
a very young boy, saw his governess taking off her shoes and making a
few steps in her stockings. Since then he gets excited at the sight of
women’s stockings. When once in a department store, he saw a woman in
her stockings trying on a new shoe, the excitement caused ejaculation
and orgasm. At puberty he began to practise stuprum manu. During the
practice he always managed to handle a woman’s stocking. He assured
the author that even the stockings in the store windows are able to
excite him sexually.
In another case a young man of twenty-five saw as a child the
servant-girl of the family washing her feet. Since then he gets
excited when he happens to see pretty naked feet of a woman. He has
then the irresistible impulse contrectandi et osculandi eos. He is
unable to go bathing at the seashore; for some fair bather’s feet may
provoke in him the most violent desire to touch and kiss the same.
Sometimes he visits fornices, ubi puellam pulcherrimam pedum eligit
who has to take off her shoes and stockings so that he may fondle and
kiss her feet. He never has any other carnal relations with her.
The perversion of fetichism is, like sadism, a rare anomaly in women.
In most cases recorded, the woman, as a rule, makes a fetich of the
entire person, not of one of its parts or of its clothing. Still there
are some cases of fetichism even among women where the fetich is
directed toward articles of attire.
The case of a young woman, twenty-one years of age, came under the
author’s observation wherein the patient, whose lover died several
years previously, kept for years thereafter his drawers under her
bed-pillows. Otherwise she could not find the desired sleep. At times
she experienced great sexual excitement when fondling them.
In Howard’s case of a woman thirty-nine years of age, the patient
stole a pair of trousers of a certain man and by fondling them
lovingly induced orgasm.
Howard relates of another case of a young woman of twenty-seven
years of age, of a good family, who up to the time mentioned had had
undifferentiated sexual feelings. At a summer resort, she met a man
who was very attentive to her in an upright manner. The first evening
she met the man, he unconsciously displayed a portion of the garter
that held up his silk hose. At the time the patient simply noticed the
carelessness of the act and had no other feelings in the matter.
