The adolescent girl experiences these same passionate feelings, because her body has just developed into the beginning of its love capabilities. She has grown, in short, into the first stage of erotic emotion. A year or two later, we find her quickly following her “crushes” with equally violent captivation attacks upon the object of her admiration. She makes a conscious effort to control the affections of other girls, for whom she feels an initial passion. Young men she begins to subjugate by means of her personal charms.
