Give me a break! Either sex can be infected from one single encounter, and the infecting can go in both directions.When a woman abandons herself to unlimited intercourse with different men, the private parts become stimulated to so unnatural an extent, that the secretions of the parts, which are largely augmented, at length become altered in their nature, acrid, and finally poisonous, so acrid and poisonous that they cause inflammation of the parts, and when brought in contact with the male organ, in the sexual act, they poison and inflame that.
Oops? I wish I could remember the proper term for this. It's something along the lines of "praeteritio," though that's not the correct spelling, I'm sure.Too late. You already did.
Mentioning something by saying you aren't going to mention it (e.g., "I won't mention his laziness") is called "apophasis" or "preterition".
Joseph Shipley's "Dictionary of World Literary
Terms" (The Writer, 3rd ed., 1970) says: "~apophasis~
Seeming to deny what is really affirmed. Feigning to pass by it while really stressing it" (e.g., "not to mention his laziness"): "paralepsis".
Touching on it casually: "metastasis".
Pretending to shield or conceal while really displaying (as Antony with Caesar's will in Shakespeare's play): "parasiopesis". [...] ~autoclesis~ (P. the
self-inviter).
Introduction of an idea by refusing before being requested, intending thus to awaken (and respond to) a demand, as
Antony with the will in "Julius Caesar"." "Paralepsis" is more
often spelled "paraleipsis" (which is the Greek form) or
"paralipsis". A few sources (such as The Century Dictionary,
and the Universal English Dictionary by Henry Cecil Wyld) do not support a distinction between apophasis and paraleipsis.
that would give you quite a lift.
I need a pneumatic device to recall it properly. Something that would drill it into my feeble brain.
