sister have treated me very kindly
always. My brother has disowned me."

HISTORY XVI.--Irish, aged 36; knows of nothing unusual in his
ancestry. His tastes are masculine in every respect. He is
strong, healthy, and fond of exercises and sports. The sexual
instincts are abnormally developed; he confesses to an, enormous
appetite for almost everything,--food, drink, smoking, and all
the good things of life.

At about the age of 14 he practised masturbation with other boys
of the same age, and also had much pleasure in being in bed with
an uncle with whom the same thing was practised. Later on he
practised masturbation with every boy or man with whom he was on
terms of intimacy; to have been in bed with anyone without
anything of the sort taking place would have made sleep
impossible, and rendered him utterly wretched. His erotic dreams
at first were concerned with women, but more recently they are
usually of young men, and very rarely of women. He is mostly
indifferent to women, as also they have always been to him.
Although good-looking, strong, and masculine, he has never known
a woman to be in love with him. When about the age of 18 he
imagined he was in love with a girl; and he had often, between
the ages of 20 to 30, cohabited with prostitutes. He remembers on
one occasion, many years ago, having connection with a woman
seven or eight times in one night, and then having to masturbate
at noon the next day. He is unmarried, and thinks it is unlikely
that he ever will marry, but he adds that if a healthy, handsome,
and intelligent woman fell in love with him he might change his
mind, as it would be lonely to be old and alone, and he would
like to have children.

He is never attracted to men older than himself, and prefers
youths between the ages of 18 and 25. They may be of any class,
but he does not like common people, and is not attached to
uniforms or liveries. The requisite attractions are an
intelligent eye, a voluptuous mouth, and "intelligent teeth." "If
Alcibiades himself tried to woo me," he says, "and had bad teeth,
his labor would be in vain." He has sometimes been the active
participant in _pedicatio_, and has tried the passive role out of
curiosity, but prefers _fellatio_.

He does not consider that he is doing anything wrong, and regards
his act
