JAM BOND'S FIRST OPENLY GAY CHARACTER REVEAL NO TIME TO DIE MA ME TEAR UP

In the settgs, mascule bondg is ually enforced through tablished ctoms that clu homoerotic and sexual enunters between members. Talkg wh adolcent boys, Way disvered that by nature, boys exprs and pursue eply fulfillg emotnal nnectns wh each other as boys; however, as they grow to manhood, they realize bondg wh other boys looks gay and th is to be avoid.

It's worth notg that their paper isn't foced on explag kissg per se, but rather homosexual/homoerotic behavr: the argument is that homoerotic behavr functns to build social bonds between same-sex others. I fd several facets of that explanatn for homoerotic behavr to be a b strange. Siarly, one might expect that the gnive system signed for erng sexual aroal should be relatively tonomo om systems signed to bond socially wh same-sex others, as homosexual behavr is a b of a reproductive ad-end.

Most k and social bondg appears to be succsfully navigated whout any erotic behavr takg place (Kirkpatrick, 2000), so we n safely say that homoerotic behavr is no way a requirement of bondg for humans.

JAM BOND CAN NEVER BE GAY, SAYS ROGER MOORE

Foregog those issu, though, the affiliatn hypothis for homoerotic behavr would not necsarily tell much about the existence of homosexual orientatns. Ined, Fleischman, Fsler, & Cholakians (2014) reported that men primed wh sexual words saw no crease their homoerotic motivatn, though there was a slight crease the affiliatn primed group. It seems, by their own logic, we should not predict homoerotic motivatns to stop heterosexual on (they predict the oppose, fact).

This mak the apparent distaste for heterosexual erotic behavr homosexual populatns appear rather cur. The distributn problem is even worse when nsirg male sexual orientatn, which fds most men reportg a heterosexual orientatn, homosexual beg send most mon, and very few ditg beg bisexual.

On the topic of social stigma, though, if the functn of homoerotic behavr is to bond wh others socially, seems peculiar that so many moral junctns agast homosexual behavr exist many cultur worldwi. Even if 's the se that homoerotic behavrs might have only bee nmned relatively recent tim (I don't know if that's te or not), that would still leave wh the matter of why there was an uptick homoerotic nmnatn. By that I don't mean that many people haven't engaged somethg remblg homoerotic behavr (like a man kissg a man on the lips) at any pot their life, but rather that I feel we should see otherwise-straight male iends (pecially good iends) kissg each other goodbye (erotilly) every day, or male bsmen engagg some light genal pettg after a meetg to keep up the imprsn of beg a iendly, valuable asset to one another.

PIERCE BROSNAN: JAM BOND ULDN'T BE GAY WHILE BARBARA BROCLI ALIVE

If homoerotic behavr helped cement social bonds, seems like should be as mon as handshak or hugs.

Kirkpatrick (2000) c a number of studi fdg that around 20% of men (and women, but let's stick to the men for now) report havg homosexual terurse at some pot their liv (though most of this behavr - about two thirds of - seems to take place before the age of 19). Assumg the numbers are reprentative, that people found all of those enunters erotic even when they were younger children, and that the behavr wasn't erced by others, we would still be lookg at around 4 out of 5 mal who have never engaged homosexual terurse at any pot their life. We uld, as Fleischman, Fsler, & Cholakians (2014) do, expand the fn away om jt homoerotic terurse to behavr that don't clu the genals, but this (a) ns back to the problem that most men don't seem to be kissg their good iends good-bye erotilly and (b) that we should expect behavr that rulted asm to be more rewardg - and th bondg - than non-asmic rults, if I follow the logic here rrectly.

No matter how I try to slice , I keep endg up at the ia that, if homoerotic behavr functns to cement social bonds - that we should be seeg a lot more of terms of prevalence, equency, and tensy.

'NO TIME TO DIE' ACTOR BEN WHISHAW WANTS A GAY JAM BOND: 'THAT WOULD BE REAL PROGRS'

The only way I see to si-step that issue is to suggt homoerotic bondg is a facultative adaptatn: one which rponds to specific environment ntexts. A qutn of tert, then, would be whether, when seekg erotic enunters wh other men, do gay men value youth or not? Prumably, the homoerotic enunters should be driven by iendship-relevant, rather than matg-relevant variabl, if the functn is iendship buildg.

I don't thk Barbara [Brocli, the Jam Bond producer] would allow a gay Bond to happen her lifetime. Bond’s rponse to his terrogatn at the hands of Silva Skyfall only nfirmed what many of had known for years: Bond is a b ‘gay’.
