Bi-sexual love; the homosexual neurosis by Wilhelm Stekel
"Bi-sexual Love; the Homosexual Neurosis" by Wilhelm Stekel is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a significant contribution to the understanding of sexuality, specifically focusing on bisexuality and the psychological aspects of homosexuality. Through clinical studies and psychoanalytical insights, the book seeks to unravel the complexities surrounding human sexual desire and the interplay of various psychological elements. At the start of the book, the authorintroduces the common misconceptions about the causes of homosexuality, particularly the erroneous belief that masturbation leads to such inclinations. Stekel references various notable figures in psychoanalysis, such as Krafft-Ebing and Moll, while critiquing their perspectives on hereditary versus acquired homosexuality. He emphasizes that all individuals are inherently bisexual and discusses the psychological factors that influence sexual orientation, asserting that repression of one’s desires contributes to neurosis. This opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration into the intricate relationships between sexuality, neurosis, and individual psychological development throughout the rest of the text.
