Vatsyayana
Kamasutra
2.9
There are two kinds of impotents, masculine-looking and feminine-looking.
The feminine kind imitate women in all things, in their clothing, way of
talking, movements, delicate attitude, reserve and shyness, gentleness
and modesty. The actions that normally take place in the groin of the woman
are completed in the mouths of these members of the third sex. This is
called Auparishtakam ["superior coitus" or oral sex]. Impotents get particular
pleasure from oral sex, as well as their livelihood. They lead the life
of courtesans, especially the feminine kind.
The masculine-looking impotents keep their practices secret. If they
exercise a profession, it is usually that of a masseur. Under the pretext
of a massage, such an impotent grabs the thighs of his client, then he
touches his buttocks and the groin or the lower back. If the penis becomes
erect, then he rubs it with his hands in order to keep it in this state.
If the man then, recognizing the intention of the impotent, does not command
him to continue, then the impotent does so on his own. But if he demands
it, then the impotent refuses to grant his request, and only reluctantly
lets himself be persuaded after much pleading...
