ty combing her hair; from that time
flowing hair became his fetich, and he could not resist the
temptation to touch it and if possible sever it, thus becoming a
hair-despoiler, for which he was arrested but not sentenced.

I have elsewhere recorded the history of a boy of 14, having
already had imperfect connection with a grown-up woman, who
associated much with a young married lady; he had no sexual
relations with her, but one day she urinated in his presence, and
he saw that her mons veneris was covered by very thick hair; from
that time he worshiped this woman in secret and acquired a
life-long fetichistic attraction to women whose pubic hair was
similarly abundant (_Studies in the Psychology of Sex_, vol. iii,
Appendix B, History V).
Roubaud reported the case of a general's son, sexually initiated
at the age of 14 by a blonde young lady of 21 who, in order to
avoid detection, always retained her clothing: gaiters, a corset
and a silk dress; when the boy's studies were completed and he
was sent to a garrison where he could enjoy freedom he found that
his sexual desires could only be aroused by blonde women dressed
like the lady who had first aroused his sexual desires;
consequently he gave up all thoughts of matrimony, as a woman in
nightclothes produced impotence (_Traite de l'Impuissance_, p.
439). Krafft-Ebing records the somewhat similar case of a nervous
Polish boy of old family seduced at the age of 17 by a French
governess, who during several months practiced mutual
masturbation with him; in this way his attention became
attracted by her very elegant boots, and in the end he became a
confirmed boot-fetichist (_Psychopathia Sexualis_, English
translation, p. 249).
A boy of 7, of bad heredity, was taught to masturbate by a
servant girl; on one occasion she practiced this on him with her
foot without taking off her shoe; it was the first time the
manoeuvre gave him any pleasure, and an association was thus
established which led to shoe-fetichism (Hammond, _Sexual
Impotence_, p. 44). A government official whose first coitus in
youth took place on a staircase; the sound of his partner's
creaking shoes against the stairs, produced by her efforts to
accelerate orgasm, formed an association which develop
