...most powerful glandular secretions of the human body-that which causes the sexual desire in woman-has been discovered and isolated by Dr. Edgar Allen of University of Missouri...

La Vie Parisienne presents pornography that often cannot be understood without a modicum of sophistication or an understanding of the more bizarre manifestations of the sexual impulse ; its drawings are occasionally clever.

This transfer is due to mutual influences; absence of personal criticism; supreme evaluation of characteristics, usually to the detriment of outside persons; quasi-repression of the sexual passions. Two people in love, therefore, have absorbed each other's ego.. The author then parallels love and hypnosis or, in other words, he calls hypnosis love minus the sexual appetite...
