Rachel showed me the below paragraph by Aubrey Beardsley (1872-1898) today.

A character named Adolphe owns a unicorn with a special attribute. Here Venus plays with the unicorn:

"Venus caught that stunning member in her hands and lay her cheek along it; but few touches were wanted to consummate the creature's pleasure. The Queen bared her left arm to the elbow, and with the soft underneath of it made amazing movements horizontally upon the tight-strung instrument. When the melody began to flow, the unicorn offered up an astonishing vocal accompaniment. Tannhauser was amused to learn that the etiquette of the Venusberg compelled everybody to await the outburst of these venereal sounds before they could sit down to dejeuner. "
