if there is a lesion of the kidneys, blood is carried along with the sperm). From the kidneys it passes via the
testicles into the penis ó not however by the urinary tract, since it has a passage of its own which is next
to the urinary tract.
Those who have nocturnal emissions have them for the following reason; when the humour in the body
becomes diffuse and warmed throughout - whether through fatigue or through some other cause - it
produces foam. As this is secreted, the man sees visions as though he were having intercourse, for the fluid
is precisely the same as that which is emitted in intercourse. However, erotic dreams and the nature and
effects of this whole complaint, and why it is a precursor of insanity, is no part of my present subject. So
much then for that.
2. 1 The reason that eunuchs do not have intercourse is that their spermal passage is destroyed. This
passage lies through the testicles themselves. Moreover, the testicles are connected to the penis by a mass
of slender ligaments, which raise and lower the penis. These are cut off in the operation, and that is why
eunuchs are impotent. In the case of those whose testicles are crushed, the spermal passage is blocked, for
the testicles are damaged and the ligaments, becoming calloused and insensitive as a result of the damage,
are no longer able to tighten and relax. 2 Those on the other hand who have had an incision made by the
ear, can indeed have intercourse and emit sperm, but the amount is small, weak and sterile. For the greater
part of the sperm travels from the head past the ears into the spinal marrow; now when the incision has
formed a scar, this passage becomes obstructed. In the case of children, their vessels are narrow and
blocked, and therefore prevent the passage of sperm, so that the irritation cannot occur as it does in the
adult. Hence the humour in the body cannot be agitated sufficiently to secrete sperm. 3 Girls while they are
still young do not menstruate for the same reason. But as both boys and girls grow, the vessels which
extend in the boyís case to the penis and in the girlís to the womb, open out and become wider in the
process of growth; a way is opened up through the narrow passages, and the humour, finding sufficient
space, can become agitated. That is why when they reach puberty, sperm can flow in the boy and the
menses in the girl. Such is my explanation of these facts.
3. 1 The sperm is, as I say, secreted from the whole body ó from the hard parts as well as from the
soft, and from the total humour. This humour has four forms: blood, bile, water, and phlegm. All four are
innate in man, and they are the origin of disease. (I have already discussed these forms, and why both
diseases and their resolutions come from them.) I have now dealt with the subject of sperm: its origin, how
and why it originates, and in the case of those who do not have sperm, why this is so; and I have dealt with
menstruation in girls.
4. 1 In the case of women, it is my contention that when during intercourse the vagina receives friction
and the womb is disturbed, an irritation is set up in the womb which produces pleasure and heat in the rest
of the body. A woman also emits something from her body, sometimes into the womb, which then becomes
moist, and sometimes externally as well, if the womb is open wider than normal. Once intercourse has
begun, she experiences pleasure throughout the whole time, until the man ejaculates. If her desire for
intercourse is excited, she emits before the man, and for the remainder of the time she does not feel
pleasure to the same extent; but if she is not in a state of excitement, then her pleasure terminates along with
that of the man. 2 What happens is this: if into boiling water you pour another quantity of water which is
cold, the water stops boiling. In the came way, the manís sperm arriving in the womb extinguishes both the
heat and the pleasure of the woman. Both the pleasure and the heat reach their peak simultaneously with
the arrival of the sperm in the womb, and then they cease. If, for example, your pour wine on a flame, first
of all the flame Hares up and increases for a short period when you pour the wine on, then it dies away. In
the same way the womanís heat flares up in response to the manís sperm, and then dies away. The
pleasure experienced by the woman during intercourse is considerably less than the manís, although it last''
