the aborigines were not shy of undertaking copulation before onlookers in broad daylight if they were promised a glass of gin. They adopt one of 23 the squatting positions depicted by Miklucho-Maclay."44 The account then "MEN LIKE US" describes the position in more detail,45 before noting a form of curiosity taken by white men in the Australian bush: A. Morton, a reliable young man, further reported as eye-witness, that, one evening, fi ding himself near a camp of aborigines, it occurred to him to ask a native who begged him for a glass of gin, to perform the sexual act. The native went of willingly to call a woman, who appeared at once. Without any sign of embarrassment, with only the thought of earning his glass of gin quickly, the man went near the woman, where- upon the couple assumed the above-mentioned position. ... In con- sequence of what had been told him by other experienced white people, Morton's attention was drawn to the woman after the coitus. He noticed then that after the man had got up and reached for the glass of gin the woman also rose, stood with legs apart, and with a sinuous movement of the middle part of her body she threw, by a jerk towards the front, a bubble of whitish slimy substance (sperm?) on the ground, after which she went away. Th s way of getting rid of the sperm, which is indicated by a word in the native dialect, is, according to the statements of white settlers in North Australia, usually employed by native women after co- itus, with the intentions of having no further consequences from being with a white man.46
