Hello Robert. Manual sex? Sounds like Aaron Kosminski.

I suppose to be complete there may have been a possibility of hand relief? Stride had a hanky exhibiting what Phillips called "fruit stains." Kelly was given a hanky by Mr A. I assume that the woman would have stood beside the man, so as not to be in the firing line. It still seems a bit dangerous for Jack, though.

musings

Hello K. A few thoughts.

1- JTR victims had no money when found. JTR must have paid them beforehand and had time in every case to take the money back. With bloodied hands? Where would the victims have put the money?

I presume payment was to be AFTER contract was fulfilled.

2-What was the type of sex generally asked for? Was it oral sex? Did this put the victims on their knees so strangling or cutting the throat was easy?

Unlikely oral. Vaginal would work. Jack merely needed to wait for her to bend down to hitch up the skirt.

3-Kissed victim? Had conversation with another? This shows JTR was not a raving lunatic or frightening looking.

Probably conversation. Likely not too frightening.

4-Where did JTR hide knife? When did he take the knife out?

Coat seems the logical place. Although, one purported sighting or two included a parcel.

How did JTR carry away the organs? Wasn't his hands bloodied?

Possibly. But see Trevor Marriott on an alternative view.

It takes a brave man to whip out a razor-sharp knife and wield it so close to his wedding-tackle Aside from which, it would have been rather tricky to cut someone's throat - especially to the depth that Jack did - from the front.

As to the type of sex generally asked for... I think it's easy to fall into the assumption that Jack's victims were all prostituting themselves at the times of their deaths. We don't know that they were, anymore than we know that Jack didn't vary his approach to suit the circumstance. The prospect of a charitable donation, shelter, or drink would likely have been just as avidly seized by his victims as a commercial proposition for sex.
