The practice of having sex with a statue was common among<br />
worshippers of the god Priapus, where virgins were first to<br />
be pene trated by him. This prac tice was later relegated to a<br />
priest or magistrate. However, even in the twentieth century,<br />
young Indian vir gins were known to use sacred phalluses to<br />
break their hymens before marriage.<br />
A few ancient statues had removable penises to facil itate their<br />
use as dildos. Several statues of Catholic fertility saints—including,<br />
among others, St. Foutin, St. Guerlichon, St. Gilles,<br />
and St. Rene—were equipped with a large phallus. The Protestants<br />
demolished a church at Orange in 1562 to find a large<br />
wooden phallus that had been covered with leather, and 23<br />
years later found people at Embrun still worshipping the statue<br />
of St. Foutin by pouring wine onto its penis. (Sex in History<br />
by G. Rattray Taylor, pp 269-70.)<br />
Today some men still prefer the multidimensional aspect of<br />
these forms to two-dimensional printed erotica. One case<br />
was reported of a man who as a twelve-year-old boy became<br />
enamored of a life-size statue at a museum when his mother<br />
called it obscene. Later, he spotted two small statues in a<br />
store window and purchased them. He began<br />
using them while masturbating and at the age<br />
of 34 had not broken the habit, even though<br />
he was married. Another case was that of a<br />
window dresser who felt compelled to masturbate<br />
whenever he saw a nude mannequin. His<br />
first sexual experience was at the age of fourteen when he<br />
was forced to per form fellatio on his supervisor as they sat on<br />
mannequins. He developed the desire to not only rub against<br />
a mannequin to masturbate but to have another man watch.<br />

A few people in today’s S/M community use a psychological<br />
form of restraint where the person, like a statue, is not to<br />
move or respond to the fondling actions of his or her partner.<br />
And people everywhere seem fascinated with the royal<br />
guards at Buckingham Palace for their statue-like imperviousness.<br />
Bee Stings<br />
(Melissophilia; Entomocism—use of insects; Entomophilia—<br />
arousal from insects; Formicophilia—arousal from ants.) Bee<br />
stings are used to extend the dura tion of orgasm, enhance<br />
sensations of the penis, and increase its circumference.<br />
Bee stings were once used as a folk remedy by arthritis sufferers.<br />
The insects were captured and held on the affected<br />
joint until they stung. The poison and the swelling it caused<br />
alleviated much of the pain in their joints.<br />
One male, having observed his grandpar ents using bees for<br />
this purpose and later having a female friend throw a bee on<br />
his genitals as a joke, discovered that the sting on his penis<br />
extended the duration and intensity of his orgasm. Realizing<br />
that the bee sting was almost painless, he developed his own<br />
procedure, which con sisted of catching two bees in a jar and<br />
shaking it to make the bees dizzy to prevent their flying away.<br />
They were then grabbed by both wings so that they were<br />
unable to twist around and sting. Each bee was placed just<br />
below each side of the glans and pushed to encourage it to<br />
sting. (Stings to the glans do not produce desired swelling,<br />
and the venom sac tends to penetrate the skin too deeply,<br />
causing difficulty in removing them.)<br />
Bees leave their stingers in the penis and are not able to sting<br />
other parts of the body. Stingers have a small venom sac that<br />
pumps the remaining poison into the flesh before removal.<br />
Stings on the penis, unlike other areas, resemble the bite of<br />
a mosquito. The primary discomfort is produced by subsequent<br />
itching, although the penis will also become tender and<br />
swell. A thick twine or leather strip tied around the base, allowing<br />
enough space to insert two fingers between the penis<br />
In 1877 “a gardener fell in love<br />
with a statue of the Venus of Milo<br />
and was discovered attempting<br />
coitus with it.”<br />
and string, restricts the swelling in the penis from dissi pating<br />
into the body but will not cut off cir culation. In this case the<br />
circumference of the man’s penis increased from 6.5 inches<br />
to 9.5 inches. Swelling is greatest on the second day. There<br />
are two unexpected effects, however. The swollen outer skin<br />
may restrict blood flow into the penis, and the swelling can<br />
become lopsided or uneven if pressure is applied on only one<br />
side.<br />
Caution: Poisonous venom can have serious effects on about<br />
5% of the populace. Any of the following symptoms of anaphylactic<br />
shock following a bee sting require emergency<br />
medical care: difficulty breathing, chest pain, dizziness, nausea<br />
or vomiting, edema or general swelling, blue coloration<br />
of lips, weak pulse.<br />
Cat-fighting<br />
Cat-fighting is a fight without rules between two women.<br />
They scratch, bite, gouge, pull hair, and rip clothing. Cat fights<br />
appeal to men who hope to catch a glimpse of forbidden<br />
flesh as fighters tear clothing. Fighting also provides vicarious<br />
thrills similar to when one watches professional male box ers<br />
and wrestlers. How ever, the difference between them is that<br />
men do not want to see serious injury or nose bleeds on the<br />
