Quote from this book
"In the years since the appearance of this book, psychologically oriented writers have continually preached the understanding of homosexuals and tolerance of their practices. Certainly these unfortunate people deserve to be treated better than freaks. Their deviation from sexual norms are a matter beyond their control. Since Freud, our knowledge of sexual norms has been greatly revised. No longer must we be subjected to the theological definitions of sexuality to which our society has subscribed. Legally of course, any sex practice in which the one recognized form of intercourse is replaced by any of the hundreds of existing variations, could land the participants in jail. However, today this is very unlikely.

All of this should not be understood to condone the practice of homosexuality. Just as any number of neurotic disturbances can be treated and the results of the treatment rest almost entirely on the willingness of the patient 'to be cured', so too, homosexuality can be cured. Dr Chideckel differs from his associates in refusing to feel tolerant for the perverted practices. He strongly advocates treatment for the aberrant woman. This view is unacceptable to the societies of homophiles and their defenders who insist on not only the correctness of homosexual behavior, (as long as you are happy as a homosexual, then you should remain one) but on the superiority of the practice."
