dreams about young girls. She never experienced any attraction for young men, but eventually married; though having much esteem and affection for her husband, she never felt any but the slightest sexual enjoyment in his arms, and then only by evoking feminine images. This case, in which the sensations of an infant at the breast formed the point of departure of a sexual perversion which lasted through life, is, so far as I am aware, unique. FOOTNOTES: [17] Jonas Cohn (_Allgemeine Æsthetik_, 1901, p. 11) lays it down that psychology has nothing to do with good or bad taste. "The distinction between good and bad taste has no meaning for psychology. On this account, the fundamental conceptions of æsthetics cannot arise from psychology." It may be a question whether this view can be accepted quite absolutely. [18] See Appendix A: "The Origins of the Kiss." [19] See J.B. Hellier, "On the Nipple Reflex," _British Medical Journal_, November 7, 1896. [20] Féré, _L'Instinct Sexuel_, second edition, p. 147. IV. |
