228 THE GLANDS REGULATING PERSONALITY 



The lower eunuchoids exhibit a curiously child-like personality. 

 Naively confiding, communicating to all comers all their joys 

 and sorrows, they ask diffidently for confirmation of their state- 

 ments, and they pass quickly from tears to laughter. About 

 sexual matters they are extremely timid. A moral innocence 

 pervades their speech and conduct. Usually they have no true 

 conception of crimes of jealousy or passion. The occupations 

 they go in for are those without responsibility away from crowds 

 or observation, such as ship cooks, stewards, and so on. They 

 marry to find a home, without the object of establishing sexual 

 relations. When they are asked whether they think their w; 

 will be pleased to look at the matter in the same light, and be 

 contented to live with a man upon such conditions, they are 

 puzzled or perplexed, as if they had never thought seriously about 

 the matter before. Their simplicity has even extended to pro; 

 ing to their wives to seek gratification from some other m 

 Naturally, such an arrangement often proves unsatisfactory, and 

 desertion follows. 



Concerning the children sometimes the offspring of * 

 unions, scepticism as to the identity of the father is decidedly 

 permissible. Still in some cases the best of evidence exists that 

 fertility occurs. The vitality of the children then is subnormal 

 and the mortality rate high. The eunuchoid tendency i 

 mitted. Variations and transitions of every kind are found 

 among the undersexed eunuchoid personalities, depending upon 

 the quality and degree of the secretions lacking. 



When there is an excess of these sex secretions, a turbulent, 

 tempestuous, sexually sensitive temperament, that may go on to 

 satyriasis or nymphomania, is created. It fa shown that 



doves can be rendered overfeininine in their behaviour and ci
