Ellis, Havelock, 1859-1939

"Sexual Inversion"

There was no transition from
this to self-abuse.
About the same time he became subject to curious half-waking
dreams. In these he imagined himself the servant of several adult
naked sailors; he crouched between their thighs and called
himself their dirty pig, and by their orders he performed
services for their genitals and buttocks, which he contemplated
and handled with relish. At about the same period, when these
visions began to come to him, he casually heard that a man used
to come and expose his person before the window of a room where
the maids sat; this troubled him vaguely. Between the age of 8
and 11 he twice took the penis of a cousin into his mouth, after
they had slept together; the feeling of the penis pleased him.
When sleeping with another cousin, they used to lie with hands
outstretched to cover each other's penis or nates. He preferred
the nates, but his cousin the penis. Neither of these cousins was
homosexual, and there was no attempt at mutual masturbation. He
was in the habit of playing with five male cousins.
