The question then arises: Is it better to suppress the sexuality of the introvert altogether, since the only kind he is capable of has an air of perverseness about it, is perhaps auto-erotic, or concentrated on the forepleasure, or wrong in some other way? Certainly you can’t demand of a child what you demand of an adult; and neither can you demand of an undeveloped function what you demand of one fully matured. On the other hand the repression of the sexual instinct may be a dangerous thing, in this connection the dream of an introvert is illuminating. He was a man highly developed along mental lines, a man, in fact, of some prominence; but he experienced great difficulty in his sexuality. It was characterized as over-impulsive and more or less passive. He wanted to play a more or less feminine part toward the women. Because of his high integrity he felt that this was wrong, and so attempted to suppress his sexuality altogether. Then he developed symptoms; strange feelings in his head, a sense of weakness in his legs. He had the following dream: He and his wife were at Coney Island, going about with three people of a cruder type. Two of these were men, and one a woman. The woman fainted on the street, and no one knew what to do for her. A man then rushed out of the building, took hold of her, and began an infantile stimulation. She revived at once. The dream is easily understood. He and his wife stood for the higher side of himself, the developed or introverted side; the three low-brows and rough-necks were the undeveloped side. Coney Island suggests some attempt at expressing the lower and undeveloped side. Since this undeveloped side was the extraverted, or sexual, the two men and the woman represented this side; and the woman suggests that part of his sexuality which is more or less feminine and passive. She faints. That is, he develops the symptoms. The man who rushes out to help he connected with an uncle of his who was noted for his common sense. In other words, his common sense tells him: Cure her by any means possible. See, if I do this for her, she revives. Better that than to be sick, to develop symptoms. No code of morality could have helped this man. He had as an introvert to realize and accept the fact that his sexuality was still childish, and to realize also that he had to begin with it at the point where it actually was if he ever wanted to develop it to something higher and better. I do not mean to imply here that all introverts are so infantile in their sexuality. There are those introverts who began early to develop this side also, and have reached a fair maturity. However, it is more often the other way round. But if there is this distinction to be made, there are yet others to show how individual a matter sexuality may be.
