“Love is not the whole existence of the masculine-feminine girl. Her approach is casual, deliberate, and knowing. She is not likely to be overwhelmed by unexpected feelings or to have her whole life changed by the coming of a man. All this is a relief to the man, since he does not have to live up to exorbitant expectations, and does not have the guilty feeling that he matters more to the woman than she does to him. The girl conveys this in her attitude that a kiss is just a kiss. Instead of making the man feel that he is taking a fateful step, she assures him that she is mainly interested in appraising the pleasure of the moment.” (Martha Wolfenstein & Nathan Leites)
