THE GLANDS REGULATING PERSONALITY 



The eunuchoid or feminoid personality is also found often 

 4s. One must carefully distinguish the two I 

 emble of characteristics of the one may easily stimu: 

 the other. Yet fundamentally they are as far apart as the poles. 

 The infantiloid type never rises above the sub-normal, which is its 

 habitat, while the feminoid type (or masculinoid, in woman) 

 often produces an abnormal personality which rises above the 

 normal. The infantiloids become the slaves and the weaklings 

 of society, the Mark Tapleys, and the Tom Pinches, while the 

 eunuchoids have created splendid literature and immortal mn 



The life reactions, and especially the sex reactions of the 

 gonado-centric, are as complex and difficult as those of the 

 thymo-centric. Straightforward homosexuality and the eunuch- 

 oid constitution have always been intimate. The homosexuality 

 of the thymo-centric is more subtle and disguised, often bur 

 under the stronger masculine component of the personality. 



Homosexuality as a cult has appeared correlated with the 

 production of the functional hermaphrodite by artificially creat- 

 ing the eunuchoid type of constitution. Among the Aztecs, homo- 

 lals were produced in quantity for religious purposes by a 

 deliberate fostering of the eunuchoid constitution. They called 

 m the Mujerados. Their method consisted in making a 

 Ithy man ride horseback constantly, until an irritable weak- 

 I of the reproductive organs ensued, and a paralytic im- 

 potence followed. The exhausted testes would then atrophy, 

 I the voice ring falsetto, muscular tone and energy diminish, 

 inclinations and habits become feminine. The Mujerado lost his 

 ttioo in society as a man, assumed female clothing manners 

 id to all intents and purposes w s a 



woman. Their large breasts were said to be capable of lactation, 

 ir only reward wai the high honor paid them as religious 

 tes.
