All the Platina cases I have seen have been highly sexual, but none have admitted to unusual sexual desires.

What exactly is meant by peversion in the Platina picture? Much of it was influenced by the opinions of the practitioners of the time, many of whom considered masturbation a peversion of natural instinct.

In the proving of platina, the sexual symptoms are mainly to do with excessive desire for sex - not really to do with fetishes. Clinically there was added the desire for anal intercourse, very much considered a peversion in the old days, now somewhat accepted as acceptable sexual behaviour. I believe that 100 years ago a woman wanting a lot of sex was considered to be peverted. Now, we have equality. The Platina picture also includes homosexuality, which once again is now an accepted lifestyle choice, not a disease.

Unless the rest of the case directed you to Platina, I would interpret the symptom in a different way. Fixed Ideas or Monomania or something else. Combine that rubric with Satyrisis or Nymphomania to come to a person with strange sexual ideas - Platina is no more prone to these than any other remedy in my experience.
