Ellis, Havelock, 1859-1939

"Sexual Inversion"

For the rest I was a passive participant, his
pleasure seeming to end in the mere handling of the fleshy
portions of my body. For this purpose I usually lay face downward
across his knees. So far as I can remember, this intimacy led to
a decrease in my pursuit of imaginative pleasures; for about a
year no further development took place.
"At about this date I was circumcised on account of the prepuce
being too long.
"Between the 6th and 7th years a change of environment brought me
into contact with a new set of faces. I had then a bed to myself,
and once more my imagination awoke to life. It was at this time
that I found myself constructing from men's faces suppositions as
to the rest of their bodies: a brown face led me to suppose a
uniformly brown body, a pale face a pale body. This idea of
variety began to charm me. I now made definite choice in my
reveries whether I would go to sleep between white thighs, or red
thighs, or brown thighs. Going to sleep definitely describes the
goal of the method to which I had addicted myself.
