tractive, we are clearly concerned with a
symbolism of act and not with the fetichistic attraction of an excretion.
When the excretion, apart from the act, provides the attraction, we seem
usually to be in the presence of an olfactory fetichism. These fetichisms
connected with the excreta appear to be experienced chiefly by individuals
who are somewhat weak-minded, which is not necessarily the case in regard
to those persons for whom the act, rather than its product apart from the
beloved person, is the attractive symbol.

The sexually symbolic nature of the act of urination for many
people is indicated by the existence, according to Bloch, who
enumerates various kinds of indecent photographs, of a group
which he terms "the notorious _pisseuses_." It is further
indicated by several of the reproductions in Fuch's _Erotsiche
Element in der Karikatur_, such as Delorme's "La Necessite n'a
point de Loi." (It should be added that such a scene by no means
necessarily possesses any erotic symbolism, as we may see in
Rembrandt's etching commonly called "Le Femme qui Pisse," in
which the reflected lights on the partly shadowed stream furnish
an artistic motive which is obviously free from any trace of
obscenity.) In the case which Krafft-Ebing quotes from Maschka of
a young man who would induce young girls to dance naked in his
room, to leap, and to urinate in his presence, whereupon seminal
ejaculation would take place, we have a typical example of
urolagnic symbolism in a form adequate to produce complete
gratification. A case in which the urolagnic form of scatalogic
symbolism reached its fullest development as a sexual perversion
has been described in Russia by Sukhanoff (summarized in
_Archives d'Anthropologie Criminelle_, November, 1900, and
_Annales Medico-psychologiques_, February, 1901), that of a young
man of 27, of neuropathic temperament, who when he once chanced
to witness a woman urinating experienced voluptuous sensations.
From that moment he sought close contact with women urinating,
the maximum of gratification being reached when he could place
himself in such a position that a woman, in all innocence, would
urinate into his mouth. All his amorous adventures were concerned
with the search for opportunities for procuring this difficult
gratification. Closets in which he was able to hide, winter
