[Editor's Note: This is the first in a series of essays (here called drafts) that Freud sent separately to Fliess or enclosed with his letters. Many of the ideas therein appear in Freud's later papers.]
Is the anxiety of anxiety neuroses derived from the inhibition of the sexual function or from the anxiety linked to their etiology?2
To what extent does a healthy person respond to later sexual traumas differently from someone predisposed by masturbation? Only quantitatively? Or qualitatively?
Is simple coitus reservatus (condom) a noxa at all?
Is there an innate neurasthenia with innate sexual weakness, or is it always acquired in youth? (From nurses, from being masturbated by someone else.)
Is heredity anything other than a multiplier?
What plays a part in the etiology of periodic depression?
Is sexual anesthesia in women anything other than a result of impotence? Can it of itself cause neuroses?3
