These cases are probably
more frequent than is usually assumed."
Women are known to have had intercourse with various other
animals, occasionally or habitually, in various parts of the
world. Monkeys have been mentioned in this connection. Moll
remarks that it seems to be an indication of an abnormal interest
in monkeys that some women are observed by the attendants in the
monkey-house of zooelogical gardens to be very frequent visitors.
Near the Amazon the traveler Castelnau saw an enormous Coati
monkey belonging to an Indian woman and tried to purchase it;
though he offered a large sum, the woman only laughed. "Your
efforts are useless," remarked an Indian in the same cabin, "he
is her husband." (So far as the early literature of this subject
is concerned, a number of facts and fables regarding the congress
of women with dogs, goats and other animals was brought together
at the beginning of the eighteenth century by Schurig in his
_Gynaecologia_, Section II, cap. VII; I have not drawn on this
collection.)
In some cases women, and also men, find gratification in the
sexual manipulation of animals without any kind of congress.
