Ellis, Havelock, 1859-1939

"Sexual Selection In Man"

This went on for many months, when the mother, becoming
again pregnant, insisted on putting an end to it. So jealous was
the child, however, that it was necessary to conceal from her the
fact that her younger sister was suckled at her mother's breasts,
and once at the age of 3, when she saw her father aiding her
mother to undress, she became violently jealous of him. This
jealousy, as well as the passion for her mother's breasts,
persisted to the age of puberty, though she learned to conceal
it. At the age of 13, when menstruation began, she noticed in
dancing with her favorite girl friends that when her breasts came
in contact with theirs she experienced a very agreeable
sensation, with erection of the nipples; but it was not till the
age of 16 that she observed that the sexual region took part in
this excitement and became moist. From this period she had erotic
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.
