APPENDIX IN the CHAPTER I
N 1. - Hermaphroditism.
The female hermaphrodites or the women with long clitoris, or tribades, have generally bosoms, matrix, little developed ovaries; the flattened pubis, the narrow hips, the dry forms, the plentiful hair, the superior lip stocked with hairs, the strong voice ( vote ? ) and all the lines ( features ? ) of a virago.
They do not tend for the men ( people ? ). Most look for, on the contrary, the women to caress ( cherish ? ) them virilement. This sort of tribades was numerous in Rome [ 38 ].
[ Note 38: the tribadie is the vice which makes look for to the women their fellow men to rub the one itself against the other one by pleasure; where from the name of fricatrices which was given to them.]
Tribades examined by the doctor Martineau in his private hospital offered nothing particular (except the development of the big lips) in the conformation of their genital organs. The only remarks which Roubaud made on them is the almost complete absence of bosoms and their taste very pronounced for the equitation.
Martial, 67 of the book VII, made against one of them the following epigram:
« Young men's tribade Philenis sodomise; still in erection, never quenched, ever no molissent, she ( it ? ) wastes ( destroys ? ) in one day eleven girls. The tucked up dress, the members rubbed by some yellow powder, her ( it ? ) throws ( launches ? ) the disc and receives quite soiled by mud in the fight the boosts of the fighters. She ( it ? ) puts itself in table only having vomited seven measures of wine, then she swallows it so much with sixteen of the breads prepared for the athletes. After that, she ( it ? ) plunges her ( its ? ) language, not in the mouth of the men ( people ? ), but in the secret appats of the girls, to make act of virility. »
Male hermaphrodites.
The male hermaphrodites or the imperfect men ( people ? ) whose testicles stayed in the stomach have a sort of vulva, an enactment of vagina, udders sometimes developed enough, forms round off, a voice ( vote ? ) hails, little or no beard. These beings languish in the impotence until an effort of the nature or an accident throws ( casts ? ) outside the stomach the testicles which had remained hidden there: then these ambiguous subjects become men ( people ? ).
Dorothée Perrin, been born in Russia in 1780, gathered ( reunited ? ) completely both sexes; the virile organs were placed over the vagina; she would have been able to fertilize herself.
N 2. - Causes of hindrance in the marriage with the eyes of the Church.
All the causes of hindrances enumerated by Vatsyayana are physical or social. He ( it ? ) is not without interest to move closer to them to some causes of hindrance to the marriage with the eyes of the Church.
We have already given, in the chapter III of the title II, article 810, 811, 812 of her ( it ? ) _Théologie morale_ of P. Gury, relative to the alliance. Here we are, now, those who concern the impotence.
855. « The antecedent and perpetual impotence, either absolute, or relative, returns the non-valid marriage, according to the right ( straight ? ) nature, because the object of the conjugal contract is absolutely lacking, because the sexual intercourse is impossible.
« The impotence, known in a sure way, returns the custom ( usage ? ) of the illicit marriage, for a simple attempt; since the sexual intercourse cannot be completed, the end which returns this licit business does not exist.
859. « Are considered powerless: the eunuches deprived of both testicles, but not those who not have it only one.
« In the doubt about the antecedent or consequent impotence, we allow the union the couple until they make sure well that their efforts remained powerless. »
N 3. - Crossings.
The hindrances because of misalliance were obviously motivated, to brahmanes, by the knowledge of the heredity. This heredity was recognized of any time, and is hardly disputed today. The bans because of alliance must have been motivated by the knowledge which we already had, of the time of Vatsyayana, the advantageous effect and the necessity of the crossing of races and families. These bans are legal and absolved in China.
Influence of the father and the mother in the reproduction.
The father passes on to his daughters the forms of the head, the pectoral skeleton and the upper limbs, whereas the conformation of the pond, the belly and the lower extremities is passed on by the mother.
For the sons ( threads ? ), it is the opposite: where from he ( it ? ) results that the boys procreated by intelligent women will be intelligent, that the girls procreated by capable fathers will inherit from their capacities.
Generally, the mother passes on to her sons ( threads ? ) her moral qualities, and the father passes on his to his ( its ? ) daughters (doctor Debay).
The crossing of races, nationalities, temperaments and constitutions, is one of the main conditions of the callipédie. That is why regions not susceptible to be cultivated by Europeans are predestined to be more and more populated and steered by mulattoes. As well as Abdel-Kader observed it for the horse race, it was recognized by the colonies ( summer camps ? ) that, in the crossing of the human races, the influence of the father is dominating especially for the forms and the outside qualities, notably for the colour.
A fact was generally noticed, it is the charm of the fair-haired men ( blond ? ) or fair races for the brunettes or races of colour. The Spanish and Arabic women, and the black or copper-colloured women in all the degrees love the English and the Frenchmen, doubtless because of their coolness. The taste of the fair-haired men ( blond ? ) for the brunettes is much less general, also the crossings tend to make prevail and to spread the superior qualities of the fair races.
The imagination and the continual sight of beautiful types have a big influence on the callipédie. The beautiful statues, the beautiful paintings which formerly filled ( performed ? ) Greece, and still fill ( perform ? ) Italy, play certainly an important role so sight.
The very big development which took, for half a century, in Europe and mainly in France, the arts of the drawing, the photography, the sculpture, etc., must have had already and have in the future an influence in the sense ( direction ? ) of the callipédie, especially in the point of view of the expression of the face.
N 4. - sexual Abnormalities.
The sexual abnormalities so well studied already by the doctor Gautier can, by the progress of the science, enter more and more the civil and ecclesiastical law, as the hindrance in the marriage.
Certain tribes, notably in Africa (Delaporte, _le French Traveler _, on 1872), are indicated as follower _mariage in him ( her;it ? ) essai_. It is the only one absolutely complete criterium of the sexual incompatibilities. The relaxation of the customs and the increasing desolation of the institution of the family propagate the application. Regrettably this remedy is the worse than the evil to be begged ( averted ? ).
