[86] Schurig brought together in his _Gynaecologia_ (pp. 2-4) various early
opinions concerning the clitoris as the seat of voluptuous feeling.

[89] The voluptuous sensations caused by sexual contacts producing
movements of the womb are probably normal and usual. They may even occur
under circumstances unconnected with sexual emotion, and Munde
(_International Journal of Surgery_, March, 1893) mentions incidentally
that in one case while titillating the cervix with a sound the woman very
plainly showed voluptuous manifestations.
[90] Henle stated that fine hairs are frequently visible on the nymphae;
Stieda (_Zeitschrift fuer Morphologie_, 1902, p. 458) remarks that he has
never been able to see them with the naked eye.

Significance," _American Gynaecologist_, September, 1902. It is perhaps
noteworthy that Bergh found that in 302 cases in which the nymphae were of
unequal length, in all but 24 the left was longer.
[92] It may be remarked that Bergh believes that the nymphae, and indeed
the external genitals generally, are congenitally more strongly developed
in libidinous persons, and at the same time in brunettes, while in public
prostitutes this is not usually the case, which confirms the belief that
exalted sexual sensibility does not usually lead to prostitution.
