 Are you more conscious of the wish to "surrender" yourself in it?—to be the caressed rather than the caresser?—the object rather than the subject? Or the contrary?

Are you happier in the passion that you receive or that which you feel and vent?

Is this instinct unvaryingly toward the male or female sex now? or do you take pleasure (or would you experience it) with now a man, now with a woman?

Do you give way to it rather mentally or physically? Or are both in equal measure?

Is the similisexual desire constant, periodic or irregularly felt?

Does similisexual desire of this sort direct itself strongest to very young boys? (If Uraniad: to very young girls?) To older youthful persons? To individuals in their early or latter teens?—older? or for distinctly mature individuals? In any case as to what type?—that is to say, robust or delicate, blond or dark, refined or unrefined physiques, etc.

Are you greatly excited during sexual intercourse, or in fits of desire?

Are you conscious of a certain contempt or aversion for women as a sex? This, naturally exclusive of nearer female relatives, intimate friends, etc.? Or how is your sentiment if not excluding them?

How far have you tested this by experience? Or is it merely an inborn conviction?

In the same way, have you any corresponding aversion to the kisses, embraces, etc., of a person of the male sex, and to the idea of sexual intercourse with him? Or quite the contrary?

How far have you tested this by practical experiences?

In ordinary social life do you mix most agreeably with your own sex?—or would you rather be with the other sex, socially? Or is the pleasure about equal?

Are you more "popular" with men or women, in outward social life? Are your most intimate friends men or women? To
