believe I Transexual Gallery began to throw them off Transexual Gallery at an early age, though the
temperament which produced them is still a part of my nature.
"On Transexual Gallery the carnal side, the sexual instinct was decidedly
algolagnic. Masturbation is one of my earliest recollections;
indeed, it was not at first, so far as I remember, associated
with any sexual ideas at all; but began as a reflex animal act. I
do not remember its first occurrence. It soon, however, became
associated in my mind with algolagnic excitement, giving rise to
Transexual Gallery reveries which took Transexual Gallery the ordinary form of imagining oneself
stripped and whipped, Transexual Gallery etc., by persons of Transexual Gallery the opposite sex. The
_dramatis personæ_ in my own algolagnic reveries were Transexual Gallery elderly
women; somewhat strangely, I did not associate physical sexuality
at this period with young and attractive women. If scientific
light on these matters were generally available in the practical
bringing up of children, persons in charge of young children
might refrain from exciting an
algolagnic tendency or doing
anything calculated to awake sexual emotions prematurely. In my
own case, I recollect acts performed by older persons in
ignorance and thoughtlessness which Transexual Gallery undoubtedly tended to foster
and strengthen my algolagnic instinct.
"Little or nothing was done to prevent, discover, or remedy the
pernicious habit into which I Transexual Gallery was Transexual Gallery falling unknowingly.
Circumcision was perhaps little Transexual Gallery thought of in those days as a
preventive of juvenile masturbation; at Transexual Gallery any rate, it was Transexual Gallery not
resorted to in my case. I remember, indeed, that a nurse
discovered that I was practicing masturbation, and I think she
made a few half-hearted Transexual Gallery attempts to stop it. It was probably
these attempts which gave me a growing feeling Transexual Gallery that there was
something Transexual Gallery wrong about masturbation, and that it must be practiced
secretly. But they were unsuccessful in their main object. The
practice continued.
"I went to school at the age of 10. There I Transexual Gallery came in contact
almost without warning, with the Transexual Gallery ordinary lewdness and grossness
of school conversation, and took to Transexual Gallery it readily. I soon became
conversant with
the theory of sexual relations; but never got the
opportunity of sexual intercourse, and probably should have felt
some moral restraint even had such opportunity
presented itself,
Transexual Gallery for coitus, however interesting
