Homosexuality also serves at least two key social functions. It enables youngsters to learn about sex without causing pregnancy, and it serves as an outlet for sexual urges when the community needs to limit population growth. (Studies in rats have shown increased homosexual activity when the colony becomes crowded, even if there's plenty of food and water available.) If this hypothesis is true, the ability to have homosexual intercourse is actually a survival tool.
There is an hypothesis that sexual orientation (at least among males) depends on how much testosterone the fetus was exposed to, and when.
Nobody knows for sure.
There is still no clear answer, though many studies have tried to find the cause. It seems probable that sexual orientation is determined before birth, and is not caused by anything deliberately done or not done by the parents.
The American Psychological Association, which used to call it a "disorder" up till 1973, now says it is not, and "...it emerges for most people in early adolescence with no prior sexual experience".
The debate is between those who believe it is caused by environment and conditioning (nurture) and those who believe it comes from biology and genetics (nature).
Most scientist support the "Biology approach", some say it was an evolutionary advantage to have some gay tribe members, because more resources and care could be given to less children, leading to higher survival rates and therefore higher reproduction of the generations to come.
Here are some of the findings:
Biological Studies:
Neuroendocrine Studies:
Twin Studies:
X-Chromosome Studies (the 'gay gene'):
Behavioral Studies:
Conclusion:
We're not really sure, but it's been this way as far back as anyone has records, and the percentage seems to be consistent in all cultures. This suggests that homosexuality is a necessary part of human civilization. It is probably related to the interaction of several genes and the instinctive patterns of human "pack behavior." Current research suggests sexual orientation (whether a person is heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual) may be related to hormonal events in the mother's womb during fetal development.
Homosexual acts are a form of Birth Control, of course, and can relieve sexual tension when heterosexual options are unavailable or inappropriate. (For example, they allow youngsters to experience sexuality without causing a potentially dangerous pregnancy.)
men are born gay naturally , it is not a choice , its a fact .
If they choose to be gay they are cheating on themselves and are not truly homosexual.
No one knows for sure why some people are gay and others are not. Some believe it is genetic, but this topic is highly debatable.
because that's the way they were born.
Some gay men do, and some don't.
If you are asking why some people are gay, then that is because they are born with that particular sexual orientation or choose to be that way. In short, they are gay because they like other men in a sexual way.
Some gay men have stocking fetishes, and some heterosexual men have stocking fetishes.
No, most military men are not gay. But some are.
No, this is a myth. There are some straight men in prison who will engage in same sex behavior in the absence of women. There are also some gay men in prison who continue to be sexually active while behind bars.But nothing can make a person "gay" if they weren't born gay.
Gay men refer to males that are not gay or bi but would trade if the price is right.
No. gay men cannot become straight, just as straight men cannot become gay. Gay men can choose to be celibate. They can even convince themselves that they aren't gay and get married, but they are still gay.
It depends on the laws of where you are. In some places gay people can adopt kids. In some places gay men can hire a surrogate mother who will have the child and then hand it over when it is born. Sometimes this will be using the semen of the gay men. If it is legal, then it will probably be (or become) socially acceptable.
No. Gay men have just as much value in society as straight men. In some cases, more so, because some gay men adopt the children that straight men abandon.
Well, not all gay men act feminine. Some do and some don't. It just depends on the person.
No straight person becomes gay. Ever. You are either born gay or you aren't.
Here is the only real fact: men cannot become gay. They are born that way.
