…Homosexuality

The spectre of homosexuality haunts a great many men and it should, according to the psychologists and the practicing psychiatrists of today. These people have done much to publicize the plight of the man who is unaware of his homosexual leanings. They have even coined a phrase to describe him, “the non-practicing nance.” This phrase describes a man who is strongly disposed to homosexuality and doesn’t know it, or the man who does know or suspect and is too afraid to attempt a homosexual relationship.

The psychiatrists are convinced that there are thousands of such men and it is entirely possible that most of them may never encounter a situation wherein their homosexual compulsions are ever aroused. But, there will be countless thousands, too, who will one day encounter another male, perhaps more, and discover their true sexual nature. When such a situation occurs the individual may be affected severely, perhaps traumatically, and the repercussions can be quite disastrous. Then, again, the whole matter may be reduced to a simple acceptance of the compulsive desires and nothing else.

Many of these men rush to the offices of a psychiatrist, hoping to be told that theirs is a one-time experience, that they are not really homosexual. And very often this is what happens, because a single homosexual experience is hardly sufficient evidence for a professional psychologist. And, sometimes a single homosexual experience is all that there ever is, but in today’s highly permissive culture, many men who are appalled by the belief that they are or can be homosexual, consider themselves bisexual and it is possible that this is a correct evaluation. And then again it may not be valid reasoning at all. It would take a patient analyst a long time, perhaps, to decide. And he rarely ever gets the chance because a man who can perform comfortably in the climate of bisexuality has enough going for him to be happy the way he is. He can have fun with either sex and that is just fine with him.

But, there are others who are terrified and desolated when they discover that they are actually homosexual in nature and must continue to function in such a climate.

There are many homosexuals, aware of their actual inclinations, who for one reason or another, attempt marriage, and manage to get along beautifully. Others have a painful time of it and do the best they can. And, there are others, comfortably married, who discover, indisputably, that they are actually and definitely homosexual. For these men, the outcome can be a very unfortunate experience.

The wives of such men are always affected by such a discovery and they react in many different ways. Some will head for the divorce court, others for the psychiatrist’s office, others will go home to mother and quietly end their marriage.

The outcome of such an experience nowadays is much more difficult to predict. With a sexual upheaval underway, the end results for such a predicament can often be palatable or at least comfortable for everybody concerned. The traumatic reactions to such knowledge that used to develop no longer seem to apply, and the modern bride, especially those who are sexually progressive, seem to deal with such problems on a very realistic basis.

It has become quite evident that it is usually those who are already deeply involved with sensuality and the hedonistic way of life who will candidly discuss their sexual experiences. And there is reason to suppose that such people can and do take such experiences as homosexuality, latent or not, in stride.

The medical people often suspect a wife who reports that she has discovered that her husband is a homosexual. There is always the probability that she suspected his true nature and married anyway. The analyst will tell her perhaps, that—she must offer her husband something much better than homosexuality if she expects to preserve her marriage and this is said to be good , advice.

However, in many cases it is unnecessary and today’s sexually knowledgeable bride knows exactly how to deal with such a situation. The manner in which such a situation is handled the material that will be used herein And the male’s reaction to his own discovery of his fondness for homosexuality must be included if we are to attempt a full examination into this matter.
