It ended in my performing cunnilingus on her
first, and then obtaining satisfaction between
her thighs—a large step to take after
the former limitations. Previous to this I
had on several occasions obtained an emission, without
meaning to, by lying on her fully dressed.
She was aware of my disease, which by that time
had become a gleet and did not inconvenience me
in any way. From that time until I went back to
India we went through the same performance whenever
possible, I masturbating her sometimes with the
finger, sometimes with the tongue, and having
connection with various parts of her body, including
the breasts, but always with a condom on account
of my disease. She used to strip for my edification,
and we frequently spent the night in the same
bed. I was attracted to her mentally, but not
very much physically; that is to say, that if circumstances
had not thrown us together I should never have
picked her out from other girls as being sexually
attractive to me. I returned to India, and
to No. 1, though I kept faithful to No. 2 in word and
deed for five months, but gradually the overmastering
influence of No. 1 reasserted itself over me.
And then I met No. 3. We were attracted to
each other at first acquaintance, and the attraction
was mental and sexual. She was married and
in love with another man, but that did not prevent
her from kissing me. I felt her breasts,
masturbated her, and had emissions by lying on her,
but she drew the line at one thing, viz.,
kissing on the lips; and I drew it at coitus.
We arranged a trip together during which I went
to bed with her, but never had coitus, though we both
had frequent orgasms in other ways. Before
starting on this trip I had thought that I should
not see No. 1 again, and she let me kiss her,
to my unspeakable joy. Circumstances, however,
intervened, and I went straight to No. 1 after
parting with No. 3, told her all I had done, and
then kissed her again, leaving her just before
her real lover, with whom she was then living, arrived.
Later I returned again to No. 1, now in child to her
lover. We lived together for three nights
in spite of this. She then went home, and
I had no connection with any woman for two years,
except one black woman, being consumed with love and
worship for No. 1. I was much in society,
but never had any luck. At the end of this
time I was traveling one night with a young officer
(’X’), slight and effeminate and preferring
men to women, with whom I had been until then
on friendly but not intimate terms. I watched
him undress and go to bed, and then, having myself
undressed, went over to his bunk and put my hand under
his clothes. He at once responded, and I
got into his bed, both of us being in a frenzy
of passion and surprise. But I was fairly sure
of my ground or I would not have dared to take
the risk. I used often to go to his bed after
this, and on one occasion had coitus with a girl
on a chair at a ball and the next night with my young
