    • 1883, Edwin Wooton, “Mimosis Inquieta”, in The Journal of Psychological Medicine and Mental Pathology, Spottiswoode and Co., volume VIII, article IV, page 208:
      In its lowest aspect it is true that the mere physical irritability of certain structures requires to be satisfied, and provided this be done the passion subsides ; but, in its higher and truer sense, it is the desire of the man as such for the woman as such ; and the oft coincidence of the æsthesiæ in these cases leaves but little doubt that there is an interchange of nervous force.
