[P] Some women know how to train the sphincter cunni that it becomes as strong as the sphincter ani. This art is especially studied by the Parisian demi-mondaine, and it is said that therein lies a great deal of her much vaunted piquancy. The author had occasion to observe the regular voluntary contractions of the sphincter cunni during the vaginal examination of a young erotic woman of thirty years of age.
[Q] Women, says Hagen, in his “Sexuelle Osphresiologie,” are like the flowers who spread their intoxicating fragrance during dawn and dusk—at the first rays of the rising and the last rays of the setting sun. With some the sweetest odors emanate during night-time. Before a thunder storm, when the air is close, the “parfum de la femme” is particularly pronounced. The transpiration of lean women is less pronounced than in the stout, who possess usually large sudoriparous pores and sebaceous glands. Brunettes have a stronger odor feminae than blondes, and both are surpassed by the red-haired.
According to Jaeger, the balmy fragrance of the pure, innocent virgin is of an extraordinary purity. As soon as the girl falls in love, the fragrance at once changes.
Long sexual continence is claimed by Galopin to increase the transpiratory odor feminae.
According to Monin, the woman’s respiration at the time of menstruation has the odor of onions.
Before and after conjugation the natural odor corporis of the woman is more intense. Two of the author’s patients were reported to exhale an odor somewhat resembling that of onions, immediately after the orgasm.
[R] Roubaud says: Whatsoever the degree of coldness and aversion may be that the woman brings to ad concubitum, the mere presence of the mentula within the vagina will produce in her organs a certain action, which although in the beginning only local, will, if prolonged, change into a libidinous excitation.
[S] For the same reasons stuprum cum fornicatricibus to appease the passions is highly deleterious to the man’s health, even if he escapes infection. No man has any real affection for his temporary chance acquaintance of the street. This lack of affection, together with the fear of infection, renders meretricious venery highly unhygienic in the long run.
[T] The complicated actions, executed by the new-born baby at the first nursing, are the most marvelous the author can imagine. As soon as the mother presents her breast to her baby, its mouth closes air-tight around the nipple, by the prompt action of the muscle orbicularis oris (innervated by the facialis). Thereupon the tongue is retracted like the piston of a syringe. In this way a vacuum is created in the cavity of the mouth, and the milk is thus drawn out of the breast. This retraction of the tongue is effected by the help of the muscles hyoglossus and styloglossus.
The tongue is now pressed toward the palate, pushing the fluid backward toward the pharynx. First the top of the tongue is pressed to the palate by the M. longitudinalis linguae, then the middle tongue, by lifting the hyoides bone by means of the M. mylohyoideus (N. trigeminus) and finally the root of the tongue by the muscles styloglossus and palatoglossus (N. facialis).
