Localisation in Phrenology

Amativeness is also a concept of phrenology.[1] It is the faculty concerned with physical love and sexual attraction. When it is strongly developed, it may represent carnality and licentiousness. When underdeveloped: coldness, frigidity, indifference towards the opposite sex.

In phrenology, the locus of amativeness is located on the lower back of the head, behind the ears.[2]
