GAYS VS. STRAIGHTS: ANY DIFFERENC SEXUAL SATISFACTN?

But bottom le: Contrary to nventnal wisdom, terms of sexual sire, munitn, and satisfactn, people homo- and heterosexual upl are much more siar than different. In addn to the need of addrsg the peculiar needs of homosexual people therapy, many sexologists were also motivated by the possibily of fdg new clu on the long-standg genr bate. Many believed that parg lbian, gay, and heterosexual people uld crease the knowledge of sexual and genr inty [12].
