Excerpt from Mind, Vol. 10: A Quarterly Review of Psychology and Philosophy; 1885 The Sexual Emotions are three in number: Love, Jealousy, and Modesty. The emotion of Love is a good example of the impracticability of classifying emotions according to their degrees of complexity; for under this one title are included every grade of feeling, from the simplest to the most compound. Underlying all its varieties there is the fundamental substructure of physiological craving, just as underlying every landscape there is the bare earth; and just as in some landscapes there is nought but bare or lichen-crusted rock, so in some natures there is nothing or little besides this craving. In other natures this substructure is covered and hidden by a luxuriant growth of higher forms of feeling - the appreciation of beauty, admiration, emulation, self-esteem, pride, vanity, self-devotion; the desire (or the fulfilled gratification) of sympathy, of confidence, of being highly appreciated, of possession, of power, and much else. So that, although these feelings are massed and consolidated into one grand emotion, and may properly be considered as a single complex feeling, yet this feeling so constituted shades insensibly into, and must in any classification be included under the same title with, the simple physiological craving - a feeling from which it differs as the tropical luxuriance of a Brazilian forest differs from the lichen-covered rocks of Spitzbergen. The one is primitive, simple, undeveloped, the other highly derivative, complex and compound. They are at opposite ends of the scale of complexity, of abstractness, of representativeness; yet they must be classed together. The emotion of Jealousy need not detain us, the circumstance which arouses it being of sufficiently obvious character; but some notice of Modesty is demanded by the fact that in origin it is the most obscure and inexplicable of all the feelings. Strictly speaking, Modesty can scarcely be called a feeling. That the name is correctly applied to a phase of conduct is manifest, but it is not so much itself a feeling as the tendency to a feeling. It is the tendency to embarrassment in sexual matters, Embarrassment being the feeling corresponding with the discovery by others of that which we wish to conceal. If we make an effort to rid ourselves of the familiarity of the notion, and try to look upon it as a fact new in our experience, it will appear extremely strange that the sexual function should be kept wrapped in a cloud of mystery of our own creation.
