In this case there was also sexual excitement thus
produced in the child, and after puberty mutual _cunnilinctus_
was practiced with girl friends. Guttceit (_Dreissig Jahre
Praxis_, Theil I, p. 310) remarks that some Russian officers who
were in the Turkish campaign of 1828 told him that from fear of
veneral infection in Wallachia they refrained from women and
often used female asses which appeared to show signs of sexual
pleasure.
A very large number of animals have been recorded as having been employed
in the gratification of sexual desire at some period or in some country,
by men and sometimes by women. Domestic animals are naturally those which
most frequently come into question, and there are few if any of these
which can altogether be excepted. The sow is one of the animals most
frequently abused in this manner.[51] Cases in which mares, cows, and
donkeys figure constantly occur, as well as goats and sheep. Dogs, cats,
and rabbits are heard of from time to time. Hens, ducks, and, especially
in China, geese, are not uncommonly employed. The Roman ladies were said
to have had an abnormal affection for snakes. The bear and even the
crocodile are also mentioned.[52]
The social and legal attitude toward bestiality has reflected in part the
frequency with which it has been practiced, and in part the disgust mixed
with mystical and sacrilegious horror which it has aroused.
