thin, the hips, legs and thighs highly developed.

In his work on _Uterine and Ovarian Inflammation_ (1862, p. 37)
Tilt observes: "The restless, bashful eye, and changing
complexion, in presence of a person of the opposite sex, and a
nervous restlessness of body, ever on the move, turning and
twisting on sofa or chair, are the best indications of sexual
temperament."

An extremely sensual little girl of 8, who was constantly
masturbating when not watched, although brought up by nuns, was
described by Busdraghi (_Archivio di Psichiatria_, fas. i, 1888,
p. 53) as having chestnut hair, bright black eyes, an elevated
nose, small mouth, pleasant round face, full colored cheeks, and
plump and healthy aspect.

A highly intelligent young Italian woman with strong and somewhat

very thick dark chestnut hair, large cheek-bones, adipose
buttocks almost resembling those of a Hottentot, and very thick
pubic hair. She was very fond of salt things. Sexual inclination
began at the age of 7.

Adler and Moll remark, very truly, that, so far at least as women are
concerned, sexual anaesthesia or sexual proclivity cannot be unfailingly
read on the features. Every woman desires to please, and coquetry is the
sign of a cold, rather than of an erotic temperament.[145] It may be added
that a considerable degree of congenital sexual anaesthesia by no means
prevents a woman from being beautiful and attractive, though it must
