YOUR GOOD HEALTH: WHY IS ONE ‘INTIL’ TW GAY, THE OTHER STRAIGHT?

In a study where scientists looked at the sexual aroal patterns of intil tws wh different sexuali—specifilly, where one was gay and the other was straight—they found that gay tws monstrated more genal aroal rponse to same-sex imag, whereas straight tws monstrated more aroal rponse to oppose-sex imag [2]. In theory, this means two people uld rry “gay gen, ” but both of them wouldn’t necsarily be gay pendg on certa environmental factors. Tw pairs which at least one tw is homosexual were soliced through announcements the gay prs and personal referrals om 1980 to the prent.

Two sets ntaed a pair of monozygotic tws nrdant for sexual orientatn wh the third triplet dizygotic and disrdant for homosexual orientatn.

Studi have shown that intil tws, if one tw is gay (the term “homosexual” is ed clil studi but is nsired offensive, so I won’t e further), then 30 per cent to 66 per cent of the intil tws also will be gay. However, an adopted siblg of a gay person is also more likely to be gay (11 per cent one study), suggtg that the faial environment also plays a signifint role.

GAY PORN'S MOST SHOCKG TABOO

Heterosexual men rpond substantially more to femal than mal, and homosexual men rpond substantially more to mal than femal5, 6, 7, 8; th, on average, genal aroal and pupil dilatn patterns verify men’s reported sexual of all sexual orientatns rpond, on average, wh some level of aroal to erotic stimuli reprentg eher sex. However, this effect is pecially mon heterosexual women, whereas homosexual women rpond somewhat more to the same sex than other sex.

THE 'GAY GENE' IS A TOTAL MYTH, MASSIVE STUDY CONCLUS

The fdg that heterosexual women are non-specific their rpons to mal or femal, whereas homosexual women rpond more to their preferred sex, was nfirmed wh other measur, cludg reactn time, viewg time, nral activy, and thermography of genalia8, 14, 15, the extent that self-reported differenc intil tws’ sexual orientatns are accurate, their sexual rpons will be siar to those of most heterosexual and homosexual dividuals. Hence, male pairs, we predicted that heterosexual tws would show substantially more sexual rpons to the other sex, whereas the homosexual -tws would show more aroal to the same sex.

SCIENTISTS FD DNA DIFFERENC BETWEEN GAY MEN AND THEIR STRAIGHT TW BROTHERS

In female pairs, we predicted that heterosexual tws would show siar sexual rpons to both sex, whereas their homosexual -tws would show somewhat stronger sexual rpons to the same sex than the other sex. Furthermore, if tws’ sexual rpons reflect general sexual orientatn differenc, then their sexual rpons should be siar effect to the rpons seen unrelated heterosexual and homosexual dividuals.

SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS ON ‘GAY GENE’ STUDI

RultsSexual Aroal of Male TwsWe predicted that heterosexual male tws show stronger sexual rpons to the other sex, whereas their homosexual -tws rpond more strongly to the same sex.

Panel A picts 5 heterosexual tws and their 5 homosexual -tws, and panel B picts 94 unrelated heterosexual men and 97 unrelated homosexual men.

Panel A picts 6 heterosexual tws and their 6 homosexual -tws, and panel B picts 123 unrelated heterosexual men and 136 unrelated homosexual men.

GAY MEN TW STUDY

For tws, penncy of data was acunted for by cludg pairs as a random size imageSexual Aroal of Female TwsWe predicted that heterosexual female tws show siar sexual rpons to both sex, but their homosexual -tws rpond more strongly to the same sex.

Their homosexual female -tws also showed genal aroal to the same sex and other sex, each pared wh basele, although somewhat ls so for the latter, p = 0. Panel A picts 6 heterosexual tws and their 6 homosexual -tws, and panel B picts 77 unrelated heterosexual women and 44 unrelated homosexual women.

Their homosexual female -tws also rpond to both sex, but had stronger rpons to the same sex than the other sex, each pared wh basele, p = 0. Panel A picts 9 heterosexual tws and their 9 homosexual -tws, and panel B picts 124 unrelated heterosexual women and 103 unrelated homosexual women.

LARGT STUDY OF GAY BROTHERS HOM ON 'GAY GEN'

For tws, penncy of data was acunted for by cludg pairs as a random size imageA Comparison of Tws wh Unrelated ParticipantsWe predicted that the difference the tws’ sexual rpons is parable to the difference between unrelated heterosexual and homosexual dividuals. In most s, the 95% nfince tervals of heterosexual and homosexual tws’ average rpons clud the means of the rrpondg heterosexual and homosexual unrelated groups (Figs 1–4).

However, homosexual female tws dilated more strongly to the same sex than the other sex, as pared wh unrelated homosexual women.

DiscsnThe prent study suggts that intil tws wh disrdant self-reported sexual orientatns differ their patterns of physlogil sexual aroal a manner siar to unrelated heterosexual and homosexual dividuals.

JOHNS HOPKS REARCH: NO EVINCE PEOPLE ARE BORN GAY OR TRANSGENR

I adm this is my first letter about homosexual, ctuo tws, but I’m gog to take you at your word that you two are happy and that I should supprs the imag that me to md of two sets of brothers who lived together and me to unseemly ends: the pack-rat Collyer brothers and the tw gynelogist Marc brothers.
