[25] Although in various other parts of this book I draw attention to the fact that the s.e.xual processes of childhood described by me are not to be witnessed in every child, but that on the contrary there are many children in whom such s.e.xual phenomena are by no means to be observed, I take this additional opportunity of stating categorically that erections naturally occur in children less frequently than in adults; they are in fact notably less common in the former, but nevertheless erection is not, in my opinion, a pathological manifestation even in very early childhood. The comparatively slight capacity for erection possessed by children, as compared with adults, is, for example, shown by the fact to which Jullien draws attention, in his work _Seltenere und weniger bekannte Tripperformen_ (_Rare and Little Known Forms of Gonorrhoea_), Vienna and Leipzig, 1907, that the painful erections (chordee) which so commonly accompany gonorrhoea in adults, are very rare indeed in the case of gonorrhoea in children, and even in the case of older children are hardly ever observed.

[33] German, _Kitzelgefuhl_. In German, the word _Kitzel_ signifies both _itching_ and _tickling_ and is likewise used to denote both _s.e.xual desire_ and _s.e.xual gratification_. Consult my note "Itching, Ticking, and s.e.xual Sensibility," in the English edition of Bloch's _The s.e.xual Life of Our Time_, pp. 43, 44.--TRANSLATOR.

[35] Compare Mrs. Browning's graceful treatment of a young girl's imaginings, in her well-known poem, "The Romance of a Swan's Nest."

"Little Ellie sits alone .....

While she thinks what shall be done, And the sweetest pleasure chooses For her future within reach.

Little Ellie in her smile Chooses, 'I will have a lover Riding on a steed of steeds: He shall love me without guile, .....

And the steed shall be red-roan, And the lover shall be n.o.ble, With an eye that takes the breath: And the lute he plays upon Shall strike ladies into trouble, As his sword strikes men to death.'

And later, little Ellie imagines her lover kneeling at her knee to tell her--

'I am a duke's eldest son, Thousand serfs do call me master, But, O love, I love but _thee_!'"

[38] By _masturbation_ or _onanism_ I understand the artificial mechanical stimulation of the genital organs. Etymologically and strictly, onanism denotes coitus interruptus (Gen. x.x.xviii. 9); masturbation (ma.n.u.stupration), artificial stimulation of the genital organs with the hand.

[51] The quotation in the German original, from the German poet Storm, would have lost life and spirit in any translation possible to me. I have therefore replaced it by an appropriate quotation from Longfellow.--TRANSLATOR'S NOTE.

[52] In the German language the word _castration_ is used of both s.e.xes; _i.e._, it signifies removal of the ovaries as well as removal of t.e.s.t.i.c.l.es.--TRANSLATOR'S NOTE.
