The inclination of maids to marriage may be known by many symptoms;   for when they arrive at puberty, which is about the fourteenth or fifteenth year   of their age, then their natural purgations begin to flow; and the blood, which   is no longer to augment their bodies, abounding, stirs up their minds to venery.   External causes may also incline them to it; for their spirits being brisk and   inflamed, when they arrive at that age, if they eat hard salt things and spices,   the body becomes more and more heated, whereby the desire to veneral embraces is   very great, and sometimes almost insuperable. And the use of this so much   desired enjoyment being denied to virgins, many times is followed by dismal   consequences; such as the green weesel colonet, short-breathing, trembling of   the heart, etc. But when they are married and their veneral desires satisfied by   the enjoyment of their husbands, these distempers vanish, and they become more   gay and lively than before. Also, their eager staring at men, and affecting   their company, shows that nature pushes them upon coition; !-- Page 8 --and   their parents neglecting to provide them with husbands, they break through   modesty and satisfy themselves in unlawful embraces. It is the same with brisk   widows, who cannot be satisfied without that benevolence to which they were   accustomed when they had their husbands.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e- Excerpted from \"Complete Masterpiece and Family Physician\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MobileReference","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47138719203568,"sku":"9781605017518","price":0.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781605017518_p0.jpg?v=1763830065","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781605017518","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
