    THE INFANTILE WOMAN sexual desires, she is the ideal female—the passionate girl described in the Ananga Ranga as the Madhyama-Vega . 1 She is usually morphologically attractive and normal. It is necessary to warn men, particularly nowadays, against the “ charming ” perennially young, childish type. As a rule she is the victim of a condition known as infantilism, in which hypoplasia of the organs of generation is but the counterpart of her unduly protracted “ childish charm ”. 2 I use the words “ charming ” and “ childish charm ”, because I wish to be comprehensible to the modern. But it is wrong to suppose that she possesses such charm, except to a vitiated or inexperienced taste. She is what is called “ good-natured ”, because of her usually low intelligence, passes as “ sporting ” among her friends, has a very slight menstrual flow, which is usually irregular, is not troubled by sex (the silly phrase “ has no nonsense about her ” is the Puritanical and popular formula for this), is in every sense designed to be a neuter among neuters, and from the standpoint of offspring she is useless. With people who try to forget about “ that side of life ” she is an easy favourite and, strange to say, often achieves triumphs against the rivalry of her superior. According to Dr. Samuel R. Meaker, she is growing very common, and her condition is “ a major factor in the causation of sterility ”. 3 Face and Features. Choose a good-looking girl and observe all the other physiognomical principles established in the earlier part of this book. Remember that a girl’s face should be sleek and smooth, without the rough modelling becoming to a man. This does not mean that it should be angelic or seraphic (thymo- centric). On the contrary, normal beauty demands pronounced signs of sensuality and positiveness. 4 But with all its evidences of animal passion, it must not be rugged, angular, bossed or busy, 1 A.R., p. 55. 2 M.A.R., p. 497. Dr. Lenz says : “ The reader must also be warned against that factitious youthfulness which is the result of infantilism, which imparts to girls even when nearing the thirties an almost childlike appearance, and which is known to exercise much fascination over many men. Such infantile women never attain to complete physical or mental maturity, and they age all the more quickly later on.” 3 J.A.M.A., 16.8.30, pp. 468-470. Also S.L.W., p. 497, where Kisch says of the infantile genitalia of this type : “ This infantile condition is by no means extremely rare.” 4 S.E., pp. 226-227 : “ A woman who is devoid of a certain measure of animality and that by no means a small measure, must be regarded as degenerate.”
