3152. On the upbringing of little Children

There are those who most tenderly love little children, so that if there are only babies and little children, they are like the gentlest mothers, and can scarcely live except in a situation where the tender love of little ones prevails. These constitute the province in the man of the testicles and their dependent organs, and in the woman, of the neck of the womb and the womb with the ovaries and every other connected organ. Those who are in that province live the sweetest, most pleasant, happiest life, such that just the sweetness and pleasantness of that state is indescribable. Their province is between the loins.
