EXTERNAL FF.MALE ORGANS OF GF.NERATION.
11. Labia majora, or large lips. 2. Fourchette, or fork. 3. Mons
veneris. 4. Prepuce of the clitoris, around the glans clitoris. 5. The
vestibule. 6. The nympha;, or lesser lips. 7, 8. The hymen. 9. The
perineum.
10. The anus.
The clitoris, placed above the opening of the urethra,
is a miniature, imperfect penis, capable of erection, and,
in the sexual congress, receiving, from the friction of
the parts where it is situated, the most vivid excitement
of pleasure. This excitement may also be produced
loss of
artificially, as in the male organ, but with great
nervous power, and, if habitual, it destroys the sensi
bility" of the part,
while it wrecks the health of the
whole system.
The b,osom, or mammary glands of the female, are
closely connected with the generative organs in function
and sympathy, partaking of the same excitements. The
nipple, indeed, closely resembles the penis and clitoris.
I shall describe it more particularly in connection with
the glandular system, and the function of lactation.
