Jung on homosexuality

[HMD]

Read this in a book called The problem of the Puer Aeternus. 

“The two typical disturbances of a man who has an outstanding mother complex are, as Jung points out, homosexuality and Don Juanism (non-clinical term for the desire, in a man, to have sex with many different female partners). In the case of the former, the heterosexual libido is still tied up with the mother, who is really the only beloved object, with the result that sex cannot be experienced with another woman. That would make her a rival of the mother, and therefore sexual needs are satisfied only with a member of the same sex. Generally such men lack masculinity and seek that in the partner.”
