and _men-women, such as hunt after both kinds of Love_,—abhorrers of hair, hairless men, that loathe the bloom of manhood,—men that dress their locks like women.—For these men’s needs cities are full of such as apply pitch-ointments, sear and pluck out the hairs of these _effeminates_. For this purpose shops are established and open everywhere; and artistes of this meretricious harlotry earn many a fee openly, the artistes that lay on the pitch-ointments for them. And to those that pluck out their hairs they offer every facility, feeling no shame of spectators nor of passers-by, nay! _nor even of themselves that are no men_). [356] Clement of Alexandria, Paedagog., bk. III. ch. 5., δι’ ἀλαζονείαν περιττὴν, μάλιστα δὲ τὴν αὐτεξούσιον ἀπαιδευσίαν, καθ’ ἣν κατηγοροῦσιν ἀνάνδρων ἀνδρῶν, πρὸς γυναικῶν κεκρατημένων, ἀποδεικνύμεναι. (Known by their excessive chicanerie, and particularly that voluntary indiscipline of character, whereof they accuse womanish men that are mastered by women). [357] “Besides haemorrhoidal swellings are a very usual symptom with these unhappy sufferers; and _when the evil has reached its highest development, the power of erection in the male member is completely lost, the scrotum entirely relaxed and the testicles flaccid_,” _C. L. Klose_ in Ersch und Gruber, Encyclopädie: Article, Paederastia, Sect. III Vol. 9. p. 148. In fact it is the usual practice of the paederast to elicit the pathic’s semen at the same time by using the hand!

(And that inimitable phrase of Herodotus’, “and on such of the Scythians as plundered her temple the goddess inflicted _feminine disease_.”)
