ABSTRACT
‘Homosexual activities occur in a much higher percentage of the males who became adolescent in an early age; and in a definitely smaller percentage of those who became adolescent at later ages. Everywhere in our society there is a tendency to consider an individual “homosexual” if he is known to have had a single experience with another individual of his own sex. Perversion homosexuality is characterized by conscious acceptance of sexual gratification derived from a relation with an object of the same sex. The existence of the ‘mechanism of orality’ which is operative in homosexuals gives a clue to the fact that the people are orally regressed, and that the Oedipus complex is not decisive for them. The external behaviour of homosexuals and that of the homosexually innocent ‘passive-feminine’ men, are not only unreliable indicators, but are completely misleading. Strangely enough, Kinsey sees only the antithesis: acceptance of homosexuality as a biologic fact vs. senseless segregation.
