Psychopathia sexualis: With especial reference to contrary sexual instinct: A medico-legal study
Krafft-Ebing, R. von (Richard)
Paraphilias
“When I was in my eighteenth year, while in a state of mild
intoxication, I was set on to have coitus with a woman. I forced
myself to it, but immediately afterward I fled the house, overcome
with disgust. Just as after the first active manustupration, I had a
feeling as if I had committed a crime. On the occasion of another
attempt, while in a sober condition, in spite of every effort of a
beautiful naked girl, I could not get an erection; though the mere
sight of a boy or the touch of a man’s hand on my thigh, would always
throw my penis into violent erection. A short time before, my friend
H. had had a similar experience. In vain we racked our brains to
discover the reason for it. Now I let women alone, and found enjoyment
with friends in passive and mutual onanism, among others with both the
sons of the physician, who had used them for pederasty after my
departure.
“When nineteen years old, I made the acquaintance of two genuine
urnings:—
“A., aged 56, of effeminate appearance, beardless, of small endowment
mentally, possessing a powerful sexual desire that had been manifested
abnormally early, had indulged in urnings’ love since his sixth year.
Once a month he visited the Capital. I had to sleep with him. He was
insatiable in mutual onanism, and made me take part in active and
passive pederasty, which was an unpleasant part of the bargain for
me.”
“B., a merchant, aged 36, of masculine appearance, was as passionate
as I was. He knew how to make his manipulations on me such a stimulus
that I had to serve him passively in pederasty. He was the only one
with whom I ever had any pleasure in passive pederasty. He confessed
to me that when he but knew that I was near, he had the most painful
erections; and that when I could not serve him, he was compelled to
satisfy himself by masturbation.
