Ellis, Havelock, 1859-1939

"Sexual Inversion"

It took every shape: mutual masturbation,
intercrural coitus, _fellatio, irrumatio_, and occasionally
active _pedicatio_; always according to the inclination or
concession of the beloved male.
He himself always plays the active, masculine part. He never
yields himself to the other, and he asserts that he never has the
joy of finding himself desired with ardor equal to his own. He
does not shrink from passive _pedicatio_; but it is never
demanded of him. Coitus with males, as above described, always
seems to him healthy and natural; it leaves a deep sense of
well-being, and has cemented durable friendships. He has always
sought to form permanent ties with the men whom he has adored so
excessively.
He is of medium height, not robust, but with great nervous
energy, with strong power of will and self-control, able to
resist fatigue and changes of external circumstances.
In boyhood he had no liking for female occupations, or for the
society of girls, preferring study and solitude. He avoided games
and the noisy occupations of boys, but was only non-masculine in
his indifference to sport, was never feminine in dress or habit.
