However, this is not always the case. When the sexual goal deviates from normality, it is called inversion. Inversion is essentially homosexuality, although it has three subdivisions, which are: absolute, amphigenic and occasional, which vary in exclusivity and emotional connection with the inverted sexual object. According to the cultural norms of Freud's time, inversion was considered innate and/or degenerate. However, Freud does not agree with this normative distinction. In degeneration, a person's entire being is affected; this is not the case with inversion. Second, if inversion were innate, there would be no room for variation in sexual behavior. However, as Freud explained, there are subdivisions of inversion, each with different sexual roles and goals. For example, in classic inversion, men wish to play the role of a woman. This behavior has been observed in sexual inverts, but it is certainly not a universal phenomenon.
