This article examines mythological problems and unacknowledged moral judgments of Freud's theory of homosexuality. Freud raises the issued of bisexuality in connection with the origins of homosexuality. When critically examined, the theory of bisexuality reduces to a theory of the capacity to be attracted to either females or male, and in that sense explains little about the origin of exclusive homosexual orientation. Freud's moral assumption color the nature of his conclusions, At the very least, without morally justifying his procedure, he transforms the course of psychosexual development as determined by psychoanalysis into a moral imperative ageist which homosexuality is judged a fixated and immature state
