Hartland also (_Legend of Perseus_, vol. i, pp. 76, 92) records
legends of women who were impregnated by accidentally or
intentionally drinking urine.

The symbolic sexual significance of urolagnia has hitherto
usually been confused with the fetichistic and mainly olfactory
perversion by which the excretion itself becomes a source of
sexual excitement. Long since Tardieu referred, under the name of
"renifleurs," to persons who were said to haunt the neighborhood
of quiet passages, more especially in the neighborhood of
theatres, and who when they perceived a woman emerge after
urination, would hasten to excite themselves by the odor of the
excretion. Possibly a fetichism of this kind existed in a case
recorded by Belletrud and Mercier (_Annales d'Hygiene Publique_,
June, 1904, p. 48). A weak-minded, timid youth, who was very
sexual but not attractive to women, would watch for women who
were about to urinate and immediately they had passed on would go
and lick the spot they had moistened, at the same time
masturbating. Such a fetichistic perversion is strictly analogous
to the fetichism by which women's handkerchiefs, aprons or
underlinen become capable of affording sexual gratification. A
very complete case of such urolagnic fetichism--complete because
separated from association with the person accomplishing the act
of urination--has been recorded by Moraglia in a woman. It is the
case of a beautiful and attractive young woman of 18, with thick
black hair, and expressive vivacious eyes, but sallow complexion.
Married a year previously, but childless, she experienced a
certain amount of pleasure in coitus, but she preferred
masturbation, and frankly acknowledged that she was highly
excited by the odor of fermented urine. So strong was this
fetichism that when, for instance, she passed a street urinal she
was often obliged to go aside and masturbate; once she went for
this purpose into the urinal itself and was almost discovered in
the act, and on another occasion into a church. Her perversion
caused her much worry because of the fear of detection. She
preferred, when she could, to obtain a bottle of urine--which
must be stale and a man's (this, she said, she could detect by
the smell)--and to shut herself up in her own room, holding the
bottle in one hand and repeatedly
