Gruesome Impact. Cabbie Miller became a suspect when one of his passengers reported that he had confessed to the murder. After he was arrested, Miller was held incommunicado for 52 hours, denied counsel and told that one of his pubic hairs had been found in the child's vagina. The police assured him that he was mentally ill and would be sent to a hospital if he confessed. Soon after Miller signed a police-written confession, he recanted...
Radical Procedures. Adjusting the body means, for the male transsexual, castration and the creation of an artificial vagina. For the female, it means enclosing the urethra in a pseudo penis (which is not capable of intromission) and reducing the breasts. These procedures are so radical that most U.S. surgeons have been reluctant to try them. Among Dr. Benjamin's 152 transsexual patients, only 51 have had surgery, and nearly all have had that surgery outside...
...impoverished substitute for the real thing." Finally, the report spoke with charity of attempts to rehabilitate four-and five-letter words, such as those used by D. H. Lawrence in Lady Chatterley's Lover and by Wayland Young in Eros Denied; it advocated accepting "neutral terms like penis, vagina and ejaculation" in the universal English vernacular...
...Lethal Vagina. A major controversy in female physiology has concerned the source of the all-important vaginal lubricant. Some authorities have traced it to the uterine cervix; others, to the Bartholin glands flanking the vagina. In fact, says Dr. Masters, the normal cervix secretes nothing of any importance; the Bartholin glands secrete only a minute quantity of lubricant. According to Dr. Masters, the vaginal walls themselves supply nearly all the vaginal lubricant. How they do so is unclear, since there are no glands in the vaginal walls, and this is a subject of continuing study...
...Gynecologist Marion H. Sims suggested in 1888, says Dr. Masters, the vagina seems to be a functioning as well as a functional organ. In some cases, at least, its biochemical activity may completely defeat nature's purpose. In 39 patients, Dr. Masters has found a vaginal secretion that was absolutely lethal for spermatozoa; three more patients had an equally deadly cervical secretion. The chemical nature of these substances is not yet known, but since some of them kill all accessible sperm within ten seconds, Dr. Masters says, "research in this direction is important both from a conceptive...
