have a
vigorous Use of the Members of both Sexes, upon any lustful Inclination;
a lascivious Female would be transported at the Thoughts of acting the
Part of a Man in the amorous Adventure, and a lecherous Male would
propose equal Pleasure in receiving the Embraces he use to bestow; but
tho' most Persons agree that Women have the greatest Sense of Enjoyment
in the Act of Copulation, (as without all question they must, by the
Situation and Disposition of the Parts) yet they would be more forward
in satisfying this brutal Curiosity than those of the opposite Sex. Men
are more easy to be limited in the Pleasures of _Venus_ than Women; as
they are endu'd with more Reason, so they are generally easily satisfied
in those Enjoyments, which were chiefly design'd for the propagating of
their Species.

If two Persons, being Hermaphrodites, should Marry with an expectation
of pleasing each other, as Male and Female by turns, they'll meet with a
Disappointment, for the Reasons already mention'd, _viz_. That one of
the Members of Hermaphrodites is most commonly useless, and if a Man
should by chance be married to a Person of his own Sex, before the Parts
are come down, (which, as I have observ'd before, sometimes happens,
where Persons are wedded in an Age of Infancy) a great Disappointment
will ensue to the Husband, when his Partner shall take the Constitution
of a Man, and be ready to engage with him, instead of his encountering
with her; and in respect of a masculine Woman's being taken by the
Length of her _Clitoris_ for a Man, _Daniel de Bantin_ only sported with
his Wife, but was got with Child himself by one of his Companions. The
_Clitoris_ not being perforated, the Hermaphrodite can furnish no Matter
for Generation.

The _Clitoris_ in Women suffers erection and falling in the same manner
as the _Penis_ in Men; and the _Vagina_ likewise swells to make the
Passage streight and easy, for the reception of the _Penis_ in the Time
of Enjoyment. Sometimes the _Clitoris_ will grow out of the Body two or
three Inches, but that happens not but upon extraordinary Occasions,
upon violent Inclinations to Copulation, over much Heat of the
Privities, _&c._ and by this means a Man will be hinder'd from knowing
his Wife; but the larger it is, so as no way to prevent their mutual
Embraces, the greater is the Pleasure, especially to the Female; and
without this Part, the fair Sex would neither desire the Embraces of the
Males, nor have an
