He never smokes, nor drinks beer or spirits. He
is still single, but believes that marriage would meet all his
needs.
"X. is also an oldest child, of young and healthy parents
(between 21 and 24 at his birth) of different class; father a
builder. He is of pleasing, but not handsome, appearance; very
sensitive, very neat, and methodical in all things; not very
strong-willed, and very reserved to women. He is of very studious
disposition, especially fond of philosophy, politics, and natural
science; a good musician. Takes moderate exercise, but rather
easily fatigued. Is generally healthy, but not overstrong. He is
a vegetarian, and was brought up as a free-thinker. Until two
years ago he was never attracted toward a girl; indeed, he
disliked girls; but he is now engaged. For about eighteen months,
he has relinquished homosexuality, but has suffered from dreams,
bad digestion, and peevishness since. He thinks the only remedy
is marriage, which he is pushing on. He regards homosexuality as
quite natural and normal, though his desires are not strong, and
once a fortnight has always satisfied him.
