There is not much to say about it. In every civilized country certain classes of people are looked upon as outside the general code, as in a class apart. Thus we have the conceptions of Bohemia, of Red Light districts, and we even exempt from the usual censure certain types of actors and actresses in a recognition that what we call morality means little to them. What stands out clearly in noting these differences of reaction, is that no one type should legislate the morality of the other types. If it is perfectly clear to anyone that a code erected by the extraverted sensational type would be ruinous to the rest of the population, it should also be clear by inference that the thinking type can’t legislate for the sensational, nor the extravert for the introvert. What we come down to finally is that sexuality, like religion, is an individual matter, and must be found by the individual according to his needs and his nature. MISPLACED ENERGY However, it should not be taken for granted that perverse sexuality is, in itself, good. Nothing that is raw and undeveloped is as good as that which is strong and mature. On the other hand, a seed cannot by magic suddenly become a beautiful flower. It must pass through the dark stage of being in the muck and manure, and only painfully and slowly, step by step, will it develop to the flower. This appears to be a law of nature, and we can say of the development of man, that his evolution began in the “mud and slime of things,” and that in the myriad ages that have passed, he has not yet attained full manhood. When we look at some of the dark things that the race has gone through, we cannot call them “good,” but often we must admit that they were necessary. So, too, with this matter of sexuality: it cannot always be arranged according to what we think is best. Nevertheless, there are many cases of what might be called sick or false sexuality. It would appear, according to Jung, that anyone who neglects a function or gift which he should be developing, is apt to go astray sexually. In other words, our energy craves the outlets provided for it by our innate character. If a man, for instance, was born an artist, that is not something he can escape. Art is the natural outlet of much of his energy. But if, because of his training, or say, his belief that art is an idle matter and not manly enough, he should turn from this gift, then a certain amount of his energy goes idle. Idle energy, so Jung has found, usually descends to the sexual zone; and the young man finds himself with an unnatural and excessive sexual craving. Since this is more than the normal sexual desire, it is apt to take abnormal form; and the man becomes by an irresistible compulsion, a homosexual. His homosexuality is not an innate thing; it is a _symptom_. It is _misplaced energy_. The cure, of course, is for him to take up his art. His sexuality then will become quite normal.
