The size of the Testes vary in different persons. The average of mankind
have them each about the bigness of a pigeon’s egg; but sometimes they
are larger. It seldom makes any difference in the actual power of
procreation whether these organs are large or small, though persons
with large Testes can generally perform the act of copulation oftener,
and with less exhaustion. A man with large Testes generally has a large
Penis, as the size of the one usually governs the growth of the other;
but it is by no means certain that sexual connection thereby affords him
any more pleasure. Such men should marry with great caution. Many females
are incapable of affording them pleasure from the comparative smallness
of their private parts; and they suffer much pain and ill health from
such intercourse. On the contrary, men whose genital organs are not fully
developed, though they may impregnate, yet they cannot always give full
satisfaction to the female. If it could so be that people about to marry
were properly matched in their private parts, it would prevent a great
deal of unhappiness in the world.

Some curious cases are reported in the books of ill-matched couples in
this respect. One of the Princes of the Royal Family of England (a son
of George III.) died without legitimate issue because he could not have
connection with his wife—she being too small, or he being too large for
the purpose. It is true, he was entitled to a divorce by law, but it was
said he respected his wife too much to resort to such a measure. Another
curious case was that of Baron Brunner, whose wife claimed a divorce on
the ground that her husband was a sort of eunuch, who could afford her no
pleasure during connection. But in this case, as Madame was the mother of
a daughter, to whom she dared not deny the paternity of the Baron, her
petition was rejected.
