Large.--With large Amativeness and Adhesiveness, an individual will
be exceedingly attached to the society of the other sex; and will
be capable of readily ingratiating himself into their favour. If
with these organs large, and small Firmness and Conscientiousness,
although his love will be intense and fervid, yet he will be apt to be
capricious and fickle in his attachments. He will be inclined rather
to seek the favour of the sex generally, than to limit his regard to a
single object. If Adhesiveness, Inhabitiveness and Philoprogenitiveness
are large, he will be induced to marry early, but if Adhesiveness,
Philoprogenitiveness, and Conscientiousness are small, he will be
inclined to gratify this feeling without reference to the laws of
morality. With Self-esteem, Firmness, and Secretiveness large, although
he may love intensely, yet he will not allow his passion to predominate
over him; if disappointed, he will not be subdued, but manifest to the
spectator the appearance of unconcern. With such a combination, he
will, in all cases, feel much more intensely than his expressions will
imply. If Mirthfulness is large, and Conscientiousness and Ideality
small, he will be liable to joke, and be fond of licentious allusions.
Moderate.--With a moderate developement of this organ, an individual
will take great pleasure in the society of ladies, whose taste and
feelings coincide with his own. If his Moral Sentiments and Intellect
are large, he will be averse to the society of the merely volatile and
frivolous. If Ideality and Love of Approbation are large, he will be
attracted by the company of the gay and fashionable. If Ideality and
Intellect generally, are large, he will be disgusted with vulgarity and
libidinous allusions. His passion will be deep, but not lasting, and
with a moderate amount of controlling organs he can restrain it at will.
