Pollution by the hand of a Woman, is always attended with more fatal consequences to the Man than any other; the impure Thoughts are more strongly impress’d by the presence of the Female, than its possible in her absence, and the imaginations so heighten’d by her Touch, as to commit the greater violence on Nature. By this, the parts are more considerably strain’d, and their natural Strength and Vigour abated. This naturally leads me to the various ways of Self-pollution in wanton Females, which are so intolerable, that Modesty forbids a particular Description. I shall only mention, that a Lascivious Woman, by the use of a pleasurable Toy, and an injection of Milk, or other Moisture, may possibly continue Self-pollution for a longer space than copulation with a Man, no Spirits being drain’d or Strength exhausted by the means herein applied; and ’tis reported that some lewd Females will commence this vile practice, before their Privities are fledg’d with Maturity. To demonstrate the consequences of a lewd Conversation in regard to the Crime of Self-pollution, I shall here present you with an ample account of a Club of Young Gentlemen, I have been inform’d, was not many Years ago establish’d in, or near _Long-Acre_; the most abominable Nursery of Lewdness and Debauchery, perhaps, that ever was heard of in any Country, unless it be in the remote parts of _Europe_ amongst the vile Sects of incestuous _Adamites_, whom Histories mention, when the Words _increase and multiply_, were repeated in their religious Service (which was very common) they immediately extinguish’d their Candles, and promiscuously mix’d in carnal Enjoyments. This Club ’tis said, was held thrice a Week at the House of a noted Victualler, who was a Stranger to the Actions of his Guests for a considerable time; they had a Supper and plenty of strong Liquors constantly provided to their no small Expence; they were govern’d by a President of the Night, who was commonly elected after Supper, and the whole Assembly struggled for this Honour: The method of Election was thus; every one according to his Seniority advanc’d himself in turn upon a high Joint-stool plac’d against a Wall, and with a sort of Emulation, there practis’d Self-pollution as long, as his strength would permit, and he that repeated the Sin the greatest number of times, was immediately declar’d their Chief for the next time of meeting: And to facilitate their unnatural Pleasures; their Eatings generally consisted of strong Soops, Gravies, Fish, Jellies, and other provocatives to Lust; and their whole Conversation turn’d on their Excellency and Perfection in this most detestable Crime. This Account I have had of this Club, with this Addition, that a Member of it might be known by his spindle Shanks, fallen Jaws, and pale wither’d Countenance, but as it is not within my own knowledge, I cannot aver it to be fact, and to me it seems so monstrous as not to be credited in the whole, what
