Pubic hair, normally a sign of the onset of puberty, can occur - as can menstruation at a surprisingly early age. H. Jolly mentions a boy of only eighteen months who had both an enlarged penis and pubic hair. Often such conditions are associated with a number of other abnormalities. In the cited case the boy "presented with a right-sided abdominal mass." Autopsy showed the mass to be a primary hepatoblastoma.

The idea of an effective sperm bank has appealed to eugenically-minded individuals for a good few centuries.

Such arrangements have only recently become practically feasible. The first two sperm banks, set up in Iowa City and Tokyo, both began life in 1964.

According to Ellis and Sargarin, one outstanding reason why a woman becomes a nymphomaniac in our society is through "an overwhelming need to be loved, a hunger that generally seems to be greater in women, than in men." Thus - in her efforts to seek out affection, security, and acceptance - she comes to have many sexual experiences that she might otherwise not welcome. There is a clear sense in which this is a patriarchal interpretation of female sexuality.

In the "normality spread," as shown, for example, in Kinsey (p.123) some girls began growing pubic hair as early as eight years of age.

This is very young to begin such growth yet cannot be considered "abnormal." The real records relate to instances of sexual precocity often, as we have seen, connected with (sometimes fatal) abnormalities. Hugh Jolly noted instances of pubic hair in babies, in one case a girl of only one month old had hair growth around the genitals.
