IX., Berggasse 19
Dear Wilhelm,
What would you say if masturbation were to reduce itself to homosexuality, and the latter, that is, male homosexuality (in both sexes) were the primitive form of sexual longing? (The first sexual aim, analogous to the infantile one — a wish that does not extend beyond the inner world.) If, moreover, libido and anxiety both were male?
Cordially,
Your
Sigm.
