Tractus de Hermaphrodites; Or, A Treatise of Hermaphrodites
Jacob, Giles
Sex -- Early works to 1800
The _Clitoris_ in Women suffers erection and falling in the same manner
as the _Penis_ in Men; and the _Vagina_ likewise swells to make the
Passage streight and easy, for the reception of the _Penis_ in the Time
of Enjoyment. Sometimes the _Clitoris_ will grow out of the Body two or
three Inches, but that happens not but upon extraordinary Occasions,
upon violent Inclinations to Copulation, over much Heat of the
Privities, _&c._ and by this means a Man will be hinder'd from knowing
his Wife; but the larger it is, so as no way to prevent their mutual
Embraces, the greater is the Pleasure, especially to the Female; and
without this Part, the fair Sex would neither desire the Embraces of the
Males, nor have any Pleasure in them, or Conceive by them.
Women well furnish'd in these Parts may divert themselves with their
Companions, to whom for the most part they can give as much Pleasure as
Men do, but cannot receive in any proportion the Pleasure themselves,
for want of Ejaculation, the Crisis of Enjoyment to the Male in the
Intrigues of _Venus_. I am inform'd that Diversions of this nature are
frequently practis'd by robust and lustful Females, who cannot with any
prospect of safety to their Reputations, venture upon the Embraces of a
Man, though they are never so strongly enclin'd. The unnatural Pleasures
of this kind are finely illustrated in the following Song, written by
Mr. ROWE, which I take it will not be improperly inserted in this Place.

SONG.
I.
_While_ SAPPHO, _with harmonious Airs,
Her dear_ PHILENIS _charms,
With equal joy the Nymph appears,
Dissolving in her Arms_.
II.
_Thus to themselves alone they are,
What all_ Mankind _can give;
Alternately the happy Pair
All grant, and all receive_.
III.
_Like the_ Twin-Stars, _so fam'd for Friends,
Who set by Turns and rise;
When_ one _to_ THETIS _Lap descends
His_ Brother _mounts the Skies_.
IV.
_With happier Fate, and kinder Care,
These_ Nymphs _by_ Turns _do reign,
While still the_ Falling, _does prepare
The Rising, to sustain_.
V.
_The Joys of either Sex in Love;
In each of them we read,
Successive each, to each does prove,
Fierce Youth and yielding Maid_.
