hetero-sexual orientation, and never again have a homosexual experi- ence. It would obviously be ridiculous therefore to refer to these people as homosexuals. So it becomes necessary to postulate something other than simply the act, as the measure of homosexuality.

This is usually done by giving some consideration to the individuals choice of a love object, and in effect this is what is done in classes two and five, of Kinsey's scale. Class two is comprised of those who are pre- ferentially hetero-sexual, the love object, speaking of males, being the opposite sex, but who, on occasion, under the proper circumstances, are capable of having relations with their own sex (and vice versa for class five). In the middle are those persons whom society would probably term bi-sexuals in that they do not have any preferential orientation to one sex or the other, but are able to take their sexual experiences as, and where they find them, and enjoy it equally well with either kind. However, this still leaves us with a little bit more information and theory for discussion of the phenomena objectively, but it doesn't provide very much for the individual to measure with. Let us consider a situation which does happen as a measure of the difficulty in making a diagnosis.

There are persons called homosexual prostitutes, these are male per- sons, who, dressed in feminine attire, seek out normal males for paid sex. Very obviously these "girls" are unable to provide vaginal inter- course, so they must either indulge in oral or anal relations. The male can be fooled by oral activities having the "girl" perform fellatio on him without his touching "her" sexually. He may also be fooled, and frequently is, by anal activities, that is to say, it is possible to make a man think he is having vaginal intercourse when actually he is having anal intercourse. This seems hard to imagine but it appears to be a fact. So now we have a peculiar situation in which the "woman" in the situa- tion knows that she has the same genital structure that her client has, that is to say, that they are both males. So, in her knowledge the relationship must be a homosexual one, but the client doesn't know, and to him the relationship, therefore is a hetero-sexual one. Now this is obviously ridiculous, because the situation is the only one going on and it's got to be one thing or the other. It can't be two things at the same time, and it's rather ridiculous to say it's homosexual for one, and hetero-sexual for another, but if one does say this, one is dealing with something assumed but unspecified, namely that the decision as to what kind of a relationship it is, is dependent upon the knowledge of the in- dividual in question. That is, what he knows about the situation. To the homosexual prostitute, it is homosexual because he knows he is a male as well as his client. To the client, it is heterosexual because as far as he knows, "She" is a female. Therefore it is silly to look upon an act from
