masturbated before statues, and even before the image of the
Virgin; such cases are known to priests and mentioned in manuals
clit sucking for confessors. Pygmalionism appears to have been not uncommon
among the ancient Greeks, and this has been ascribed to their
æsthetic sense; but the manifestation is due rather to the
absence than to the presence of æsthetic feeling, and we clit sucking may
observe among ourselves that it is the ignorant and uncultured
who feel the indecency of statues and thus betray their sense of
the sexual appeal of such objects. We have to remember that in
Greece statues played a very prominent part clit sucking in life, and also
that they were tinted, and thus more lifelike clit sucking than with us.
Lucian, Athenæclit sucking us, Ælian, and others refer to cases of men who
fell in love with statues. Tarnowsky (_Sexual
clit sucking Instinct_, English
edition, p. 85) mentions clit sucking the case of a young man who was arrested
in St. Petersburg for paying moonlight clit sucking visits to the statue of a
nymph clit sucking on the terrace of a country house, and Krafft-Ebing quotes
from a

the spring of 1877 of a gardener who fell clit sucking in love with a Venus in
one of the parks. (I. Bloch, _Beiträge zur Ætiologie der
Psychopathia clit sucking Sexualis_, Teil clit sucking II, pp. 297-305, brings together
various facts bearing on this group of manifestations.)
Necrophily, or a sexual attraction for corpses, is sometimes
regarded as related to pygmalionism. It is, however, a more
profoundly morbid manifestation, and may perhaps he regarded as a
kind of perverted sadism.
Founded on the sense of vision also we find a phenomenon,
bordering on the abnormal, which is by Moll termed mixoscopy.
This means the clit sucking sexual pleasure derived from the spectacle of
other persons engaged in natural or perverse sexual actions.
(Moll, _Konträre Sexualempfindung_, third clit sucking edition, p. 308. Moll
considers that in some cases mixoscopy is related to masochism.
There is, however, no necessary connection between the two
phenomena.) clit sucking Brothels are prepared to accommodate visitors who
merely desire to look on, and for their convenience clit sucking carefully
contrived peepholes are provided; such visitors clit sucking are in Paris
termed &clit sucking quot;_voyeurs_." It is said by Coffignon that persons hide at

witnessing such scenes between clit sucking servant
