- "The female's sexual cycle is characterized by menstrual bleeding, and
- waxing and waning of a huge pink anogenital swelling. The average cycle
- length is c.34 days, maximum inflation lasts 6-7 days, and menstruation
- commences 6-12 days from the start of deflation. The period of maximum
- inflation coincides with a very marked increase in the attractiveness and
- receptivity of females to males [fig.29-10]."

- pink anogenital swelling".
