Document Summary
Sexual object = person from whom sexual attraction proceeds (240) Sexual aim = act towards which the instinct tends (240) Deviations in respect of the sexual object: inversion. Some people are absolute inverts, where their sexual objects are exclusively of their own sex (241) Some people are amphigenic inverts, who may be attracted to either sex (241) Some people are contingent inverts, where under certain external conditions, particularly not having access to their usual sexual object, they will choose someone of the same sex as their sexual object (241) Some inverts see their inversion as normal and accept it and others think it is pathological and rebel against it (241) Inversion may make its appearance at any time and may last forever or may only last for one single relationship (241) Sometimes after a distressing experience with a normal sexual object, the person will become an invert (241)
