Masturbation -- Early works to 1800; Medicine -- Religious aspects

The great _Labia_, or great Lips, descend from the _Mons Veneris_, and
meet in the _Perinæum_; they consist of doubled Skin, Fat and spungy
Flesh; they are cover’d with Hair, but it is not so strong, as that of
the _Pubes_ and _Mons Veneris_. In Girls they are firm, but in those who
have been enjoy’d, they are flaggy.

The great Slit is the space between the two Lips; it is call’d the great
Slit, as being much larger than the entry of the Neck of the Womb.

Upon separating the Thighs, and drawing aside the two Lips, are
discover’d two soft and spungy Excrescences call’d _Nymphæ_; they
resemble the Thrills, that hang under a Cock’s Throat; and their Colour
is red, like that of a Cock’s Comb; their Substance is partly fleshy,
and partly membranous, consisting of the doubled, and the inner Skin of
the _Great Labia_. The _Nymphæ_ conduct forth the Urine; and of Virgins
are so vigorous, that they discharge their Water with a Noise like
hissing.

Above the _Nymphæ_ within the great Cleft is situated the _Clitoris_, a
long round and glandulous Body. This is said to be the principal seat of
Pleasure, being endow’d with an exquisite Sense. In the heat of
Enjoyment, it swells like unto a Mans Yard on an Erection, by virtue of
the Blood and Spirits, that croud into it. For this reason it is call’d
the Female Yard, and indeed, it appears like unto that of a Man in many
particulars. This is the part for Friction.

There are two Cavernous Nerves coming from the Hip-bone, call’d the Legs
of the _Clitoris_; and there are four Muscles in the _Clitoris_, two for
Erection, and two for Ejaculation; the two first run from the Hip-bone
under the Cavernous Nerves; and the two others call’d _Pudendi_, take
their rise from the Sphincter of the _Anus_. These Muscles serve to
straighten the Orifice of the _Vagina_. The _Arteriæ Pudendæ_ furnish
the _Clitoris_ with Blood, and the Veins of that Name carry off the same
Blood into the _Cava_.

Under the _Clitoris_ is the urinary Passage, larger and shorter than
that of a Man, whereby Women send forth their Urine with the greatest
violence and dispatch. This Passage is surrounded with a Sphincter,
which is a Muscle that serves to confine, or give passage for the Urine
at pleasure.

Between the fleshy Fibres of the _Urethra_, and the Membrane of the
_Vagina_, lie the _Prostates_, having several Channels which terminate
in the lower part of the _Vulva_, and thereby discharge a slimy matter,
which mixes with the seed of the Male, in the time of Enjoyment.
