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 likes to be caressed by them.  He is immensely vain of his physical beauty; he shuns pedicatio and does not much care for the sexual act, but likes long hours of voluptuous communion during which his lover admires him.  He feels the beauty of boyhood.  At the same time he is much attracted by young girls.

He is decidedly feminine in his dress, manner of walking, love of scents, ornaments, and fine things.  His body is excessively smooth and white, the hips and buttocks rounded.  Genital organs normal.  His temperament is feminine, especially in vanity, irritability, and petty preoccupations.  He is much preoccupied with his personal appearance and fond of admiration; on one occasion he was photographed naked as Bacchus.  He is physically and morally courageous.  He has a genius for poetry and speculation, with a tendency to mysticism.

    He feels the discord between his love for men and society, also
    between it and his love for his wife.  He regards it as, in part,
    at least, hereditary and inborn in him.

HISTORY XXXII.—­C.R., physician; age 38.  Nationality, Irish, with a Portuguese strain.  “My mother came of an old Quaker family.  I was quite unaware of sexual differences until I was about 14, as I was carefully kept separate from my sisters and, although from time to time strange longings which I did not understand possessed me, I was a virgin in thought and deed until that period of life.

“When I was 14 a cousin some years older than myself came to stay with us and shared
