These either persists without function as rudimentary organs or become modified and take on other functions. These long-familiar facts of anatomy lead us to suppose that an originally bisexual physical disposition has, in the course of evolution, become modified into a unisexual one, leaving behind only a few traces of the sex that has become atrophied."

In An Autobiographical Study, Freud questions the way in which heterosexuality develops within individuals forcing them to inhibit earlier sexual indiscriminate instincts (possibly homosexuality). Freud argues that homosexuality is not deserving of the inequity and condemnation it is faced with, since it is natural to all humans,.
"The sexual activities of children have hitherto been entirely neglected and though those of perverts have been recognized it has been with moral indignation and without understanding. Looked at from the psycho-analytic standpoint, even the most eccentric and repellent perversions are explicable as manifestations of component instincts of sexuality which have freed themselves from the primacy of the genitals and are now in pursuit of pleasure on their own account as they were in the very early days of the libido's development. The most important of these perversions, homosexuality scarcely deserves the name. It can be traced back to the constitutional bisexuality of all human beings and to the after-effects of the phallic primacy. Psychoanalysis enables us to point to some trace or other of a homosexual object-choice in everyone. If I have described children as "polymorphous perverse", I was only using a terminology that was generally current; no moral judgment was implied by the phrase. Psycho-analysis has no concern whatever with such judgments of value." (4213) .
Nevertheless, Freud's writings have been greatly criticized for boasting a misogynistic tone. In addition, Freud's theories are absent of any separate findings on female sexuality.
