Quote from this book "It is generally assumed, both by laymen and by many doctors and lawyers, that there is in masculine and feminine homosexuality an active and passive partner both as regards initiation and execution. There are even countries, particularly in the Orient, but also in Southern Europe and South America, where only the passive partner is treated with the contempt, but not the active partner. A contributory factor in the development of this attitude, which originated in Antiquity, is probably the idea that the passive partner is nearly always effeminate, whereas the active partner may be heterosexual or bi-sexual and indulging in homosexual acts by way of a substitute."
