sensations; if the cousin only touched her neck, a thrill went through her body which she now regards as sexual.  Again, at 17, she had an overwhelming, passionate fascination for a schoolfellow, a pretty, commonplace girl, whom she idealized and etherealized to an extravagant extent.  This passion was so violent that her health was, to some extent, impaired; but it was purely unselfish, and there was nothing sexual in it.  On leaving school at the age of 19 she met a girl of about the same age as herself, very womanly, but not much attracted to men.  This girl became very much attached to her, and sought to gain her love.  After some time Miss H. was attracted by this love, partly from the sense of power it gave her, and an intimate relation grew up.  This relation became vaguely physical, Miss H. taking the initiative, but her friend desiring such relations and taking extreme pleasure in them; they used to touch and kiss each other tenderly (especially on the mons veneris), with equal ardor.  They each experienced a strong pleasurable feeling in doing this, and sexual erethism, but no orgasm, and it does not appear that this ever occurred.  Their general behavior to each other was that of lovers, but they endeavored, as far as possible, to hide this fact from the world.  This relation lasted for several years, and would have continued, had not Miss H.’s friend, from religious and moral scruples, put an end to the physical relationship.  Miss H. had been very well and happy during this relationship; the interference with it seems to have exerted a disturbing influence, and also to have aroused her sexual desires, though she was still scarcely conscious of their real nature.

Soon afterward another girl of exceedingly voluptuous type made love to Miss H., to which the latter yielded, giving way to her feelings as well as to her love of domination.  She was afterward ashamed of this episode, though the physical element in it had remained vague and indefinite.  Her remorse was so great that when her friend, repenting her scruples, implored her to let their relationship be on the same footing as of old, Miss H., in her return, resisted every effort to restore the physical relation.  She kept to this resolution for some years, and sought to divert her thoughts into intellectual channels.  When she again formed an intimate relationship it was with a congenial friend, and lasted for several years.

She has never masturbated.  Occasionally, but very rarely, she has had dreams of riding accompanied by pleasurable sexual emotions (she cannot recall any actual experience to suggest this, though fond of riding).  She has never had any kind of sexual dreams about a man; of late years she has occasionally had erotic dreams about women.

Her feeling toward men is friendly, but she has never had sexual attraction toward a man.  She likes them as good comrades, as men like each other.  She enjoys the society of
