(A
somewhat similar case is recorded in the _Archives de
Neurologie_, 1902, p. 462.)
In the case of a robust man of neuropathic heredity recorded by
Pelanda some light is shed on the psychic attitude in these
manifestations; there was masturbation up to the age of 16, when
he abandoned the practice, and up to the age of 30 found complete
satisfaction in drinking the still hot urine of women. When a
lady or girl in the house went to her room to satisfy a need of
this kind, she had hardly left it but he hastened in, overcome by
extreme excitement, culminating in spontaneous ejaculation. The
younger the woman the greater the transport he experienced. It is
noteworthy that in this, as possibly in all similar cases, there
was no sensory perversion and no morbid attraction of taste or
smell; he stated that the action of his senses was suspended by
his excitement, and that he was quite unable to perceive the odor
or taste of the fluid. (Pelanda, "Pornopatice," _Archivio di
Psichiatria_, facs. iii-iv, 1889, p. 356.) It is in the emotional
symbolism that the fascination lies and not in any sensory
perversion.
Magnan records the spontaneous development of this sexual
symbolism in a girl of 11, of good intellectual development but
alcoholic heredity, who seduced a boy younger than herself to
mutual masturbation, and on one occasion, lying on the ground and
raising her clothes, asked him to urinate on her.
