[211] The Romans recognized at least three kinds of kiss: the _osculum_,
for friendship, given on the face; the _basium_, for affection, given on
the lips; the _suavium_, given between the lips, reserved for lovers.
[212] In other parts of the world it would appear that the kiss sometimes
has a sacred or ritual character. Thus, according to Rev. J. Macdonald
(_Journal of the Anthropological Institute_, November, 1890, p. 118), it
is part of the initiation ceremony of a girl at her first menstruation
that the women of the village should kiss her on the cheek, and on the
mons veneris and labia.

"My family is of old lineage on both sides. My parents were
normal and fairly healthy; but I consider that heredity, though
not vitiated, is somewhat overrefined, and there is a neuropathic
tendency, which has appeared in myself and in one or two other
members of the family. As a child, I suffered, though not very
frequently, from nocturnal enuresis. My sexual nature, though
normal, has been keenly alive and sensitive as far back as I can
remember; and as I look back I discern within myself in early
childhood what I now understand to be a decided masochistic or
passively algolagnic tendency. So far as I remember, this
manifested itself in me in two aspects; one psychic or
sentimental and free from carnality, expressing itself in
