Ellis, Havelock, 1859-1939

"Sexual Inversion"

He does not care for mere mutual
embracing and reciprocal masturbation; when he really loves a man
he desires _pedicatio_ in which he is himself the passive
subject.
He has curly hair and moustache, and well-developed sexual
organs. His habits are masculine; he has always enjoyed field
sports, and can swim, ride, drive, and skate. At the same time,
he is devoted to music, can draw and paint, and is an ardent
admirer of male statuary. While fond of practical occupations of
every sort, he dislikes anything that is theoretical.
He adds: "As a medical man, I fail to see morally any
unhealthiness, or anything that nature should be ashamed of, in
connection with, and sympathy for, men."

HISTORY XXV.--A.S. Schoolmaster, aged 46.
"My father was, I should say, below the average in capacity for
friendship. He liked young girls, and was never interested in
boys. He was a man of strongly Puritanical morality, capable of
condemning with gloomy bitterness. He was also a man capable of
great sacrifice for principle, and mentally very well endowed.
