    “I have had but few lascivious dreams.  In these the phantom
    partner was almost invariably a dead woman. (When about 8 I had
    seen the dead body of an aunt who died at 24.)

“When 20 I went to London and took all the pleasure which came my way.  I cared only for normal coitus.  Offers of another type created disgust.  I once allowed a woman to exhaust me sexually orally, but felt degraded thereby.  Women with whom I had become very intimate often urged me to cunnilingus, but I could not do it.  I have practised intermammary coitus a very few times.
“At 26 I married a pure, gentle woman, after having for ten months before marriage led a life of celibacy.  My wife died when I was 30, and for about eight months I lived a celibate life.  Lascivious dreams sometimes occurred, but I invariably awoke before ejaculation.  Eventually I gave way to the cravings of my strong sexual nature, but never wished for anything out of the usual except intercourse from behind.  A woman with marked development of the nates has great attraction for me.  Solitary masturbation has for some time ceased, but a nude woman in the act of masturbation with her back to me gives me great pleasure.  I am as strong sexually at 38 as I was at 20, only I never want women unless I am brought into actual contact with them and they are hairy and have large pelvic development.  I am in excellent health.  Genitals are well developed, and I am clothed with hair from the chin to the genitals.  My skull is dolichocephalic.  I am violent and tenacious in temper, high-strung, and rapid in thought and action.  My digestion is good, but I have a tendency to constipation.  Occasionally I have a twinge of pain below the occipital region.
“My early views of women have changed; I no longer deify them, though I study them.  I have known very sensual women living at home in respectable middle-class society.  One, in particular, a girl of 18, after coitus used to excite me lingually.  I have had a sweetheart who remained virgo intacta.  Had I seduced her, as I could have done, I should have lost all interest in her.  I could never bear the presence of naked men, and would never go to a public swimming bath for that reason.  I regard myself as a man of abnormally strong, but, on the whole, healthy and wholesome, sexual feelings.  As a rule, I have coitus twice or oftener in one week and I practise withdrawal.  I am a total abstainer, and never could embrace a woman who smelled of drink.”
HISTORY VI.—­The writer of the following is a man of letters, married.  “Quite early I remember a strange and romantic interest in the feminine.  Certainly before I was 9 I had a strong affection for a little girl playmate; our family lost sight of hers, and I saw and heard nothing of her for sixteen years; then, hearing she was coming to town, I experienced quite a flutter of heart, so strong had been the
