" Tardieu described the typically
erotic woman as very hairy.
Bergh found that among 2200 young Danish prostitutes those who
showed an unusual extension and amount of pubic hair included
several women who were believed to be libidinous in a very high
degree. (Bergh, "Symbolae," etc., _Hospitalstidende_, August,
1894.) Moraglia, again, in Italy, in describing various women,
mostly prostitutes, of unusually strong sexual proclivities,
repeatedly notes very thick hair, with down on the face.
(_Archivio di Psichiatria_, vol. xvi, fasc. iv-v.)
Marro, also, in Italy found that abundance of hair and down is
especially marked in women who are guilty of infanticide (as also
Pasini has found), though criminal women generally, in his
experience, tend to have abnormally abundant hair. (_Caratteri
del Delinquenti_, cap. XXII.) Lombroso finds that prostitutes
generally tend to be hairy (_Donna Delinquente_, p. 320.)
A lad of 14, guilty of numerous crimes of violence having a
sexual source, is described by Arthur Macdonald in America as
having hair on the chest as well as all over the pubes. (A.
Macdonald, _Archives de L'Anthropologie Criminelle_, January,
1893, p.
