Where man has given himself up to sexual excitement as a continuing and enduring feature of his life--as contrasted with the wild animals which experience it only at particular seasons--the cause exists not in the different nature with which he has been endowed but in the excess of strongly nutritive material which has absorbed into his body. To prove that this is so, one has only to take the case of his domestic animals which, when also getting superfluous nutriment, are excited more often than the wild ones.
