His attitude towards the second brother, who was his playmate in childhood, is even more tense. He never visits that brother and when he cannot avoid meeting him has but little to say. He shows that peculiar uneasiness towards the brother which persons manifest when they try to cover a certain erotic attitude. The following characteristic dream may be instructive at this point: _I am in my brother’s store ... He puts before me an assortment of underwear to mark up. I refuse to do it and step out of the store saying: “Brother can kiss me....”_ His brother advised him to get married. This is the incentive to the dream language “underwear to be marked.” But he loves only his brother. The remark, “_er kann mich gern haben_,” (equivalent to the colloquialism, “he can kiss me,” and its more vulgar variants) plainly embodies a reference to a sexual act. Incidentally anal irritation is one of his strongest paraphilias. He suffers more or less continually of “anal itching,” which is at times so unbearable that he cannot sleep. He consulted for this complaint a physician who found no local trouble and who declared that it was merely a “nervous” itching. The fact is this subject is now on the point of becoming a homosexual. Some precipitating occasion and his homosexuality is bound to become manifest. His last friend is dearer to him than all the girls.... This is shown clearly by the fact that he sent him the ticket which he had bought for his lady friend. A portion of the hidden impulse had broken forth on that occasion. Usually he covers his homosexual leanings very cleverly. His friends and colleagues at the office think he is a lucky Don Juan and have no idea that he never enjoys the ultimate advantage of the role he plays. They see him always in the company of girls, always going around with pretty women; he runs after them on the street, he goes to public places with them; at the office he speaks of nothing else but his conquests and new adventures. But not to his brothers. He never mentions any sexual matters especially in the presence of his younger brother, the one who was his playmate in childhood. The analysis did not last long. But during the very first few weeks there came to light experiences with this brother which explained the subject’s reticence. Considering the remarkable fact that Xaver was animated by the desire to be a regular Don Juan we have something with which to contrast the extent of his moral qualms. For a long time he was very pious and then all of a sudden he turned into a free thinker. Analysis discloses that his religious piety still persists undiminished. Don Juan stands to his mind only for the unreachable ideal of a free man, a man undisturbed in his actions by any inhibitory feelings. But he invariably hears an inner voice calling to him, at the last, supreme moment of action: _Don’t! It is sinful._
