Prominent psychoanalyst Dr. Joseph Merlino, Senior Editor of the book,
Freud at 150: 21st Century Essays on a Man of Genius stated in an
interview:
“ Freud maintained that bisexuality was a normal part of development.
That ALL of us went through a period of bisexuality and that, in the
end, most of us came out heterosexual but that the bisexual phase we
traversed remained on some UNCONSCIOUS level, and was dealt with in
other ways....He did not consider it something that should be
criminalized, or penalized.... Freud felt there were a number of
homosexuals he encountered who did not have a variety of complex
problems that homosexuality was a part of. He found people who were
totally normal in every other regard except in terms of their sexual
preference. In fact, he saw many of them as having higher intellects,
higher aesthetic sensibilities, higher morals; those kinds of things.
He did not see it as something to criminalize or penalize, or to keep
from psychoanalytic training. A lot of the psychoanalytic institutes
felt if you were homosexual you should not be accepted; that was not
Freud's position. ”
—Joseph Merlino
Krafft-Ebing was the first to suggest that bisexuality is the original
state of human sexuality. Freud has famously summarized on the basis of
clinical observations: "[W]e have come to know that all human beings
are bisexual - - and that their libido is distributed between objects
of both sexes, either in a manifest or a latent form." According to
Freud, people remain bisexual all their lives in a repression to
monosexuality of fantasy and behaviour.
P.S.: Dr. Alfred Kinsey notes in his books Sexual Behaviour in the
Human Male and Sexual Behaviour in the Human Female that, MOST people
in a certain level appear to bisexual, VERY FEW, only 5%-10%, are
absolutely homo or heterosexual.
