Document Summary

He says first that sex is everything connected with the difference between the sexes, but dismisses this as too general. The sexual is a blanket term that includes the difference (contrast) between men and women, sexual excitement and how people attain it, and reproduction. The sexual is characterized by an indecency, so it must be hidden. Homosexuals = the perverse, also called inverted. Homosexuals considered themselves a third sex rather than considering themselves men and women who were attracted to other men and women. There are two different types of sexual abnormalities those whose sexual object has changed (ie homosexuals) and those whose sexual aim has changed. Some people see what is usually considered the beginning of the sexual performance (ex. masochists, sadists, exhibitionists) as the end of it. Indecency is characteristic of these acts, but is magnified greatly. Freud believed that neurosis was a substitute for sexual satisfaction.
