second so long as I give her satisfaction whenever possible.
About this time I again met No. 3 and kissed and masturbated her
in a cab, but she would not allow me to go home with her. At the
bidding of No. 1 I now broke entirely with No. 4, to the great
grief and astonishment of my sister, whose friend she was.
Shortly after this I again returned to India, where I quarreled
hopelessly with No. 1, and I don't know to this day what my fault
was, except that she had got tired of me. Her influence over me
is, however, too great to be so easily broken, and I would return
to her tomorrow if she moved a finger in reconciliation. During
the following hot weather I slowly but surely, albeit quite
unconsciously, obtained an influence over No. 6, and it ended by
her falling desperately in love with me and allowing me to do
what I liked. I did not love her, and told her about No. 1, whose
image always remained in the back of my vision, whatever I was
doing. She also accepted the situation, and I don't think has any
grievance against me. For my part I have nothing but thanks and
gratitude and as much love as I am capable of to give her, and
all the other women with whom I have had any sexual relations.
The following is a short account of the above women:--
"No. 1. Had coitus before marriage, for love and with full
knowledge of the nature of the act. Agreement with her husband
not to have coitus rigidly adhered to by both. Has had connection
with five other men since marriage. Very passionate, but faddy
and particular. Slow at producing orgasm. Likes being in bed
naked, and liked me once for having kissed her mons veneris.
Thin, with undeveloped breasts. Brilliant, good-looking. Artistic
and highly intellectual. Never masturbated, and did not know of
homosexuality among women; very sensitive to touch on the
pudenda.
"No. 2. Has had sexual relations, but never coitus, with many
men. Mutually masturbated with one man. Masturbated herself
frequently, and took a long time to produce orgasm, even with
_cunnilingus_, which delighted her immensely. After having it
performed, she would stoop down and passionately kiss my lips.
Fond of prolonged kisses, during which the tongue played a
prominent part. Tall and fully developed, but no looks. Clever,
masculine brain, and strong physically. Skillfully concealed her
passionate nature, which, however, was long in developing and was
long kept in check by maidenly modesty.
