An interesting paper on the case of a highly cultured young student who was a fervent collector of censers and found sexual gratification by masturbating into them. He had turned away from normal love because his first experience infected him with the disease he was made greatly afraid of by his education. A recurrent dream—naked young girls gathering his sperma into censers while he masturbated—gave him the idea of his practice. While indulging in this practice he imagined himself having intercourse so that the censer symbolised in fact the vagina. Some deep and far-reaching remarks on the symbolism of this act, on the importance of smell for sexual excitation, and some interesting interpretations of the Song of Songs and Indian religion (coitus as a religious act) conclude the paper.
