One had a
brother who was also an exhibitionist. In some cases the penis
was abnormally large, in others abnormally small. Several had
very weak sexual impulse; one, at the age of 62, had never
effected coitus, and was proud of the fact that he was still a
virgin, considering, he would say, the epoch of demoralization in
which we live. (Pelanda, "Pornopatici," _Archivio di
Psichiatria_, fasc. ii-iv, 1889.)
In a very typical case of exhibitionism which Garnier has
recorded, a certain X., a gentleman engaged in business in Paris,
had a predilection for exhibiting himself in churches, more
especially in Saint-Roch. He was arrested several times for
exposing his sexual organs here before ladies in prayer. In this
way he finally ruined his commercial position in Paris and was
obliged to establish himself in a small provincial town. Here
again he soon exposed himself in a church and was again sent to
prison, but on his liberation immediately performed the same act
in the same church in what was described as a most imperturbable
manner. Compelled to leave the town, he returned to Paris, and in
a few weeks' time was again arrested for repeating his old
offense in Saint Roch.
