Sex
She began to menstruate when thirteen and a half years old. At that
time she began to experience the first sexual excitements. She had
some vague sensations in muliebribus. She never practised manu
stuprum. When sixteen and a half years of age, she was sold by a woman
in fornicem, where she was forced to stay several years, until she
finally succeeded in escaping.
While in this house she associated with another girl, slept with her
and practised mutual cunnilingus, which gave her great delight. Yet
she enjoyed concubitum with some men. She even allowed one man to
practise cunnilingus secum.
After she left the house she went to Berlin and soon succeeded in
finding a girl friend with whom she lived for two years and practised
active cunnilingus. Afterwards she secured another friend whom she
dearly loved because of her manly features.
The cunnilingus that men practised on her gave her satisfaction, but
she experienced the greater delight, “si femina eam lingua lambit.”
Initus no longer gave her satisfaction, nor was she ever satisfied in
dreams. The images in her dreams were sometimes female, at other times
male.
_Strict homosexuality._—In the second degree, only homosexuality is
found. The opposite sex causes frigidity and even horror. In this
degree the sexual desires and inclinations are ab origine only for
the same sex. But the inclinations to the same sex are limited to the
“vita sexualis,” while in character and mentality the patient remains
distinctly in conformity with the sexual glands. The histories of the
three following cases observed by the author will well illustrate this
degree of homosexuality:
A young man of thirty-five years began to feel a certain attraction
toward his own sex when only ten years old. At puberty this attraction
developed into the strong desire to have complexus venereus
cum amicis. At the same time there was a pronounced feeling of
indifference and, later on, that of actual repulsion towards women.
The only way to have concarnationem cum mulieribus at all was by Venus
aversa and thinking at the same time of sympathetic men.
The second case is that of a man of thirty-three years of age. As a
boy of seven, he was initiated by an older friend into the mysteries
of stuprum manu. At puberty he found a few friends with whom he often
practised paedicatio. His erotic dreams are of men only, At the mere
sight of a man’s virilia he has orgasm and ejaculation. To procure
himself this enjoyment he frequently visits the seashore and other
bathing places where he can see naked boys and men. Even the statues
of men in museums cause erections. Women have no attraction for him.
Even the most beautiful women do not excite the slightest degree of
desire. No erection in their company takes place, even if they allow
advances and the most intimate sensual titillations.
