ABSTRACT
Concerning patterns of sexual behavior, a great deal of the thinking done by scientists and laymen alike stems from the assumption that there are persons who are ‘heterosexual’ and persons who are ‘homosexual,’ that these two types represent antitheses in the sexual world, and that there is only an insignificant class of ‘bisexuals’ who occupy an intermediate position between the other groups. It is implied that every individual is innately-inherently-either heterosexual or homosexual. It is further implied that from the time of birth one is fated to be one thing or the other, and that there is little chance for one to change his pattern in the course of a lifetime.
