and his homosexual
tendencies were almost completely in abeyance, partly, perhaps,
owing to the fact that he now lives quietly in the country. A.
has surprised his friends by his ardent attachment to a lady of
about his own age to whom he has become engaged. He declares that
he loves this woman better than any man, but nevertheless he
still feels strong passion for his men friends. It is evident
that the homosexual tendency in A. is distinctly more pronounced
than in his friend X. As is found more often in bisexual than in
homosexual persons, he is of predominantly masculine type,
possesses great vitality, and desires to exert all his faculties.
He has a sound nervous system and is very free from all
"nervousness." He has written a scientific treatise and can study
undisturbed amid violent noises. His voice is manly (in singing
deep base). He can whistle. He is not vain, though well formed,
and his hands are delicate. His favorite color is green. The
demonstrative warmth of his affection for his friends is the
chief feminine trait noted in him. He rarely dreams and has never
had an erotic dream; this he explains by saying (earlier than
Freud) that all dreams not caused by physical conditions are
wish-dreams, and as he always satisfies his sexual needs at once,
with a friend or by masturbation, his sexual needs have no
opportunity of affecting his subconscious life.

There may be some doubt as to the classification of the two foregoing
cases: they are not personally known to me. The following case, with which
I have been acquainted for many years, I regard as clearly a genuine
example of bisexuality:--

HISTORY XXXI.--Englishman, independent means, aged 52, married.
His ancestry is of a complicated character. Some of his mother's
forefathers in the last and earlier centuries are supposed to
have been inverted. He remembers liking the caresses of his
father's footmen when he was quite a little boy. He dreams
indifferently about men and women, and has strong sexual feeling
for women. Can copulate, but does not insist on this act; there
is a tendency to refined, voluptuous pleasure. He has been
married for many years, and there are several children by the
marriage.

He is not particular about the class or age of the men he loves.
He feels with regard to older men as a women does, and
