Examples

“In the first place⟳ let⟳ us describe⟳ the “Chinese hedge-hog”. This is a wreath of fine soft feathers, with their quills solidly fastened by silver wire to a ring⟳ of the same metal, made in various sizes, and sufficiently large to slip⟳ over the gland, when the penis is not in erection, and small enough to be stopped by the ring⟳ of the gland when the penis is erect. This machine sensibly increases the size of the penis, aud [sic] it will be easily understood that the friction of the feathers against the mucous surface of the vagina produces sensations of a peculiar effect.”

“Somewhat similar is the “Chinese hedge-hog,” a wreath of fine soft feathers with the quills solidly fastened by silver wire to a ring⟳ of the same metal, which is slipped over the glans.”

“Various lewd contrivances, among them the Chinese ‘hedge-hog,’ ovoid objects, and similar apparatus have⟳ all been perversely used as amatory stimulants.”
