…ands to us. CHORUS. Toward what end? For present help is much, But uttermost destruction more, for we Have no strong hope in any hand of man: God is our refuge and our tower of strength.

Arthur! said the big man, more tenderly than he had yet spoken, there was once a man like you. He wished your wish, not with‘tears, but with laughter; he had his wish, as you shall have yours.

A man can afford to a man two pleasures which a woman cannot give him : namely : (1) passive sodomy. (pleasure of the pathic) (2) irrumation. (pleasure of the fellator)7 The latter is a small matter, and we are justified in concluding that as far as gross gratifications go, the advantage, substantial though slight, rests with the woman. The supreme pleasures are common to both, except cunnilingism (especially during the mont…
