Sex
The other case, known to the author, is that of a man of thirty. He
is married and has two healthy children. In commixtione conjugæ he
has to call up the mental images of men, otherwise complete libido is
missing. As a small boy, he loved contrectare parvas puellas. When
thirteen years of age he began spontaneously to practise stuprum
manu. At fourteen he was seduced by an urning ad stuprum manu and to
paederastic practices. The embracing and kissing of homosexual men
induces ejaculation and orgasm. His erotic dreams are partly filled
with male, partly with female images.
Another case is that of a young man of twenty-five, who since early
youth had an inclination for boys and liked to sleep with them and
fondle them. At puberty he began to practise paederastia with boys
of his age. His erotic dreams turn exclusively around males. Still
he is also fond of girls. Although he never had any sexual relations
with women, yet when dancing with them or at other occasions, when he
happens to come in bodily contact with them, he frequently has sudden
emissions.
Among female psychical hermaphrodites are very often found married
women and mothers of children. But while in their normal sex-activity
they are almost impotent of experiencing libido, the homosexual
practice is accompanied with great intensity of libido.
In one of Krafft-Ebing’s cases the patient, twenty-nine years of
age, came of a nervous family. When eighteen years of age, she had
relations with a young man. After separation from her lover she se
stuprabat manu for some time. She then donned male attire and became
a tutor in a refined family. Her employer’s wife fell in love with
her,[BE] and she left her position. Some time later she fell ill and
was sent to a hospital. While there she fell passionately in love with
female nurses and patients.
In another case of Krafft-Ebing’s the patient, twenty-six years of
age, is married and has two children. She always inclined more to
her own sex. Complexus venereus with her husband disgusts her. Since
the birth of her second child she gave up this intercourse entirely.
When a pupil in the seminary she was in love with other girls. At
times, however, she was also drawn toward men. But the latter feeling
was only of a transient character. Her desire is to fondle, kiss and
embrace the beloved girl and imitari coitum cum ea.
In Moll’s case the patient is thirty-six years of age. As a child,
she loved to play with boys and girls indiscriminately. She also liked
to play with dolls. She was wholly innocent and had no passionate
friendships, either with boys or girls.
