Note 267 — WOMEN’S WILES.[258]
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
See vol. v. 199. I may remark that the practise of bathing after copulation was kept up by both sexes in ancient Rome. The custom may have originated in days when human senses were more acute. I have seen an Arab horse object to be mounted by the master when the latter had not washed after sleeping with a woman.
