This is true. Wilhelm Reich was wondering: "How can a virgin work as a 
psychoanalyst and tell
other people about their sexuality?"

There is, btw, another famous (and better) female psychoanalyst whose 
first name was --- Melanie.

"It never opened. Mélanie was supposed to have worn a protection metal 
device, a species of
chastity belt, into which the point of the pole fit. She had left it 
off. A physician in the audience had
been summed at once by Itague as soon as he saw the blood. Shirt torn, 
one eye blackened , the
doctor knelt over the girl and pronounced her dead." (p. 414)

Is Mélanie  primarily an allegory for Old Europa before the outbreak of 
Hell aka WW I?
