Arguments that the Hermaphrodite has the Privities of the Female Sex of
a good Conformation; and if the _Vagina_ is not too defective, such an
Hermaphrodite ought to pass for a Woman.

I doubt not but there are many Persons in the World of both Species,
particularly of the Female Sex, who would willingly assume to
themselves the Parts belonging to Hermaphrodites, if they could have a
vigorous Use of the Members of both Sexes, upon any lustful Inclination;
a lascivious Female would be transported at the Thoughts of acting the
Part of a Man in the amorous Adventure, and a lecherous Male would
propose equal Pleasure in receiving the Embraces he use to bestow; but
tho' most Persons agree that Women have the greatest Sense of Enjoyment
in the Act of Copulation, (as without all question they must, by the
Situation and Disposition of the Parts) yet they would be more forward
in satisfying this brutal Curiosity than those of the opposite Sex. Men
are more easy to be limited in the Pleasures of _Venus_ than Women; as
they are endu'd with more Reason, so they are generally easily satisfied
in those Enjoyments, which were chiefly design'd for the propagating of
their Species.

If two Persons, being Hermaphrodites, should Marry with an expectation
of pleasing each other, as Male and Female by turns, they'll meet with a
Disappointment, for the Reasons already mention'd, _viz_. That one of
the Members of Hermaphrodites is most commonly useless, and if a Man
should by chance be married to a Person of his own Sex, before the Parts
are come down, (which, as I have observ'd before, sometimes happens,
where Persons are wedded in an Age of Infancy) a great Disappointment
will ensue to the Husband, when his Partner shall take the Constitution
of a Man, and be ready to engage with him, instead of his encountering
with her; and in respect of a masculine Woman's being taken by the
