Sex
Upon her return to her home, there began for the first time in her
life distinct, clear and culminative erotic dreams. These commenced
by subconscious visualizing of the blue garter. The association of
the garter with the night reveries increased to day ideation. One day
the patient went into a shop to buy a present for a friend and, on
the counter, saw an exact duplicate of her fetich. It was instantly
appropriated and the patient went immediately to her bed-room, where
she gave way to the effect the fetich had upon her. She soon found
herself a victim of fetichistic manu stuprum. This was never practised
without the psychical aid of the garter, and to have the act culminate
satisfactorily she must have a new garter each time, which must be
attained unseen surreptitiously. A garter purchased would have no
effect upon her sexual nerves.
The most remarkable cases are those of urolagnic and coprolagnic
fetichism, almost exclusively found in men, of which Burton says: “Immo
nec ipsum amicae stercus foetet.” But occasionally such cases are also
found in women, as proven by the case reported by Magnan.
The patient, a young girl of eighteen, of good intellectual
development, but of alcoholic heredity, seduced a boy younger than
herself ad stuprandum mutuum. On one occasion, lying on the ground et
tollens vestes petivit eum ut commingeret in eam.
Moraglia relates the case of a beautiful woman, eighteen years of
age, who, married about a year, experienced only very little libido
in initu et præferrebat stuprum manu. She became highly excited by
the odor of fermented urine. So strong was this fetich that when she
passed a street urinal she was often obliged to go aside se stuprare
manu. Once she went for this purpose into the urinal itself and was
almost discovered in the act. On another occasion stuprandum ei manu
in ecclesia. Her perversion caused her much worry because of the fear
of detection. She preferred, when she could, to obtain a bottle of
urine, which must be old and of a man’s, and to shut herself up in her
room, holding the bottle in one hand and repeatedly se stuprare with
the other.
Such cases are exceptional in women. As a rule, fetiches of women do
not relate to inanimate objects or to certain parts of the body, but
to the whole individual. In such cases an impulsive desire complexus
venerei with a certain man imperatively demands gratification.
In Magnan’s case the young woman, mother of three children, told her
husband frankly one day that she was in love with a certain other
man and that she would kill herself if her relations with him were
interfered with. She promised to return to her husband and children
after six months if only permission were given her to live with this
man for this period in order to quench the fire of her passion. As she
was then, husband and children had no place in her heart.
