Is your speaking-voice (in common conversation) high or low, full or weak, soft or disagreable, quick or slow, as compared with others?

Do you feel at ease in the dress of the opposite sex? When so clad, do you easily and naturally pass for a person of that other sex?



Certain Distinctively Sexual Characteristics.



Is the development of your sexual organs, when in repose, large or small, or medium? (If possible decide this matter with the opinion of a physician.)

Is there a great difference between their sizes when they are sexually excited, as compared with them in repose?

Is there any real abnormality to be noticed in them, either from birth or produced by after-life? If the latter, state causes.

Do you find the nipples of the breasts to be large or small, according to comparisons with others? What is the general contour and development of the mammae themselves!—i.e. usual or abnormal?

Is your general bodily health good? If not so, what is contrary apart direct sexual disturbances? (Uraniad: menses?)

At what age did your sexual desire show itself distinctly?

Did it direct itself at first most to the male or to the female sex? Or did it hesitate awhile between both?

Was it distinctly influenced by others? Or mostly spontaneous in origin and growth?

When and how did you discover it so that you had certainty of it? Has this same sort of instinct continued to-day in any degree? Is it greater or less in force than formerly?

Does similisexual desire (uranianistic or uraniadistic) if you are possessed of any (more or less) incline you to describe it as "active" or "passive," on the lines of analysis in the foregoing book?

Do you feel yourself in the "dominant" role, when yielding to sexual desire with another person?
