A scientific approach to beauty of the female body is available for all - thanks to Professor Stratz' good work. He has scientifically found out that 5 women out of 1000 are really beautiful. Good for him !
Fully developed, meaty breast of a devlishly beautiful woman: "Vollentwickelte Fleischbrüste einer Beauté du diable".
The Woman thus consists of Breast, Belly, Hips, Buttock (Brust, Bauch, Huefte, Gesaess) etcetera. Another version of this picture is in the 20th century visual Duden dictionary.

Male normal figure - Männliche Normalgestalt. Now you know what a normal man looks like. Penis airbrushed out.

Copy in the Central Library, Amsterdam. Elsewhere I read that re-issues were printed up to the year 1941, deserving a place of honour on the book shelf in many a German family - being perused with glee, for the benefit of creating healthy Aryans.
The title page states: Dedicated to Mothers, Doctors and Artists. That makes me feel all good inside...
And now for something completely different: Sexology 101... This is how the v@gina gets wet:
Finally. Now I understand the female!
