Psychopathia sexualis: With especial reference to contrary sexual instinct: A medico-legal study
Krafft-Ebing, R. von (Richard)
Paraphilias
Other cases of Cantarano’s (_loc. cit._) belong here: mictio even
defæcatio puellæ ad linguam viri ante actum; consumption of confects
smelling like fæces, in order to become potent; and also the following
case, likewise communicated to me by a physician:—
Case 70. A Russian prince, who was very decrepit, was accustomed to
have his mistress turn her back to him and defecate on his breast;
this being the only way in which he could excite the remnant of
libido.
Another supported a mistress in unusually brilliant style, with the
condition that she eat marchpane exclusively. Ut libidinosus fiat et
ejaculare possit excrementa feminæ ore excipit. A Brazilian physician
tells me of several cases of defæcatio feminæ in os viri that have
come to his knowledge. Such cases occur everywhere, and are not at all
infrequent. All kinds of secretions—saliva, nasal mucus, and even
aural cerumen—are used in this way and swallowed with pleasure; and
oscula ad nates and even ad anum are indulged in. Dr. Moll (_op.
cit._, p. 135) reports the same thing of a man affected with contrary
sexuality. The perverse desire to practice cunnilingus, which is very
wide-spread, probably frequently has its root in masochistic impulses.
Palanda (_Archivio di Psichiatria._ x, fascicolo 3, 4) relates the
following case:—
Case 71. W., aged 45, predisposed, was given to masturbation at the
age of eight. A decimo sexto anno libidines suas bibendo recentem
feminarum urinam satiavit. Tanta erat voluptas urinam bibentis ut nec
aliquid olfaceret nec saperet, hæc faciens. After drinking he always
experienced disgust and ill-feeling, and made firm resolutions to do
it no more in the future. Once he had the same pleasure in drinking
the urine of a nine-year-old boy, with whom he once practiced
fellatio. The patient suffers with epileptic insanity.
The cases described in this group form the complete counterpart to group
“_d_” of the sadists.
Still other older cases belong here, which Tardieu (“Étude
médico-légale sur les attentats aux mœurs,” p. 206) observed in senile
individuals. He describes as “Renifleurs” persons “qui in secretos
locos nimirum theatrorum pasticos convenientes quo complures feminæ ad
micturiendum festinant, per nares urinali odore excitati, illico se
invicem polluunt.” The “Stercoraires” that Taxil (“La prostitution
contemporaine”) mentions are, in relation to this subject, unique.
Finally, space is here given to the following case, reported to me by a
physician:—
