The manifest homosexual man of a certain type approaches woman, originally the mother, indirectly by identification with the homosexual object who was a rival, the father or a more successful brother who aroused the patient's fear to a degree that he abandoned any competition with him. The oral introjection of the penis of the successful rival has become the substitutive instinctual goal. The repressed aggression against the rival emerges in possessiveness that adopts the rival's penis in order to enjoy the conquests instead of him. In a more masochistic homosexual type, the fear of the castrating potentiality of the vagina contributes a further motive for the repression of immediate heterosexual conquests and the choice of identification with the successful rival, the beloved ego ideal, whose penis alleviates the castration fear of the patient.
