Love: A Treatise on the Science of Sex-attraction: for the use of Physicians and Students of Medical Jurisprudence
Talmey, Bernard Simon
Sex
Toward puberty the boy finds his sexual inclinations and impulses
directed toward men, and the girl hers toward women. The boy feels
himself a girl and attracted to men. He forms passionate attachments to
boys and idealizes his friends. When he has found a manly friend, he
is captivated by his strength and prowess, by his love of adventure,
by his courage and by his manly grace and beauty. The passion finds
expression in stupro mutuo. The girl, on the other hand, forms
passionate friendships with girls, as a rule, older than herself. She
idealizes and deifies the beloved friend, and praises her beauty, grace
and kindness. Her thoughts are full of the beloved one. She sends her
invitations to come and call on her, she writes her poetry, offers
her flowers and presents and is capable of every sacrifice for her
friend’s sake. She delights in the bodily contact with the beloved
friend. This passion finds expression in kissing, close embraces and
in sleeping together in one bed. She experiences then the powerful
feeling of lustful pleasure, which may be so intense that it suggests
magnetic currents through her body. Alteri super alteram jacenti
tactus corporeus delectationis tremorem inducit. The orgasm is induced
quibusdam contrectationibus.
The homosexual pervert suffers from disloyalty and is tortured by
jealousy. Tears, despair and anger are as common as in normal love if
the friend forms any other friendship, no matter whether with males
or females. If the pervert’s love be unrequited, he or she suffers the
greatest pangs. As a rule, the inverted individuals are fastidious in
their choice of friends. Their inclinations favor a certain type of men
or women respectively. Once the choice is made they act like passionate
lovers. The pervert’s modesty finds expression towards individuals of
the same sex. The boy is embarrassed in company of young men and likes
to show off in their presence, while the most attractive young women
leave him cold and indifferent. Their presence is simply ignored by
him. The perverted girl becomes shy and confused in the presence of an
attractive individual of her own sex, but shows nothing of shyness and
the engaging air of weakness and dependence which are the unconscious
invitations to them in the presence of men. She feels a pronounced
indifference to men.
The erotic dreams of the male pervert turn around males. The autoerotic
fantasies are all of men and virilia, while normal individuals in their
imagery never think of their lovers' pudibilia. The lustful dreams of
the perverted girl contain only visions of females, with corresponding
situations. These dreams where only women appear on the scene cause her
great pleasure and sometimes even pollutions. In her day-dreams, her
fancy pictures muliebria of her own sex.
