WHY ‘GAY SOCIAL EXPERIMENTS’ EASTERN EUROPE ARE MISSG THE POT
Could gay guys be the ultimate wg men for their straight, male iends? * gay social experiment *
The argument is this: gay sex alone n’t produce children, and for tras to evolve, they have to be passed onto children, who get some form of petive advantage om them. In a paper published yterday by myself and De Universy profsor Brian Hare, we propose human sexualy (cludg homosexualy) evolved as an oute of the evolutn of creased sociabily humans. In our clost primate relative, the bonobo, straight and gay sex have val rol play, social transactns, barter of food, same-sex social bondg and bondg between matg pairs.
Gay sex and attractn may have evolved bee dividuals wh a gree of same-sex attractn benefed om greater social mobily, tegratn and stronger same-sex social bonds. Many studi sce the pneerg rearch of Aled Ksey and lleagu have emphasised that sexual mori occur across all cultur, and the levels of gay and bisexual people populatns have been que stable over time. Our hypothis predicts that bisexualy and people who intify as “mostly straight” should be more mon than people who intify as exclively gay, and this is the se.
Our hypothis for the evolutn of homosexualy would predict this kd of variatn human sexualy, and n help expla why is generally stable across cultur. We currently have a survey vtigatn unrway that explor some of the posive out of “bromosexual” iendships, cludg our theory that gay men and straight men n be optimal wg men for one another. Gay men – particularly those nservative and ral environments – rema wary about tryg to beiend straight men, fearg prejudice-fueled rejectn.

At the same time, many straight men still doubt that they’ll be able to relate to gay men any meangful way and, for this reason, may not try to iate a iendship.
If they’re open-md about beiendg gay men and make the effort to try to fe iendships based upon mon terts, gay men should feel more fortable reciprotg. Gay men who disclose their sexual orientatn to their straight male iends earlier life may be able to build more open and hont iendships wh them to adulthood. Send, recent rearch has argued that genr and sexual orientatn might not be as black and whe as prevly thought, which opens up new avenu for explorg how gay and straight men n relate to one another.
If a straight guy and his gay male iend are ls rigid about their masculy and sexualy, they’ll probably be more likely to discs tails about their sexual and romantic liv openly wh one another. In short, women are able to tst the datg advice om gay male iends bee they know their gay iends don’t have any ulterr motiv: They’re not tryg to hook up wh them or pete wh them for guys. Jt as a gay man might be able to pass on advice about women to his straight iend, a straight man uld nnect his gay male iend wh another sirable gay man, sce neher the gay man nor his straight iend are petg for the same person.
