Although neher of our fantasi was fulfilled by the enunter, we end up havg an tertg nversatn about homosexualy, a topic the fellow was studyg graduate school, wh an obv personal vtment, and the topic of a paper I’d wrten my unrgraduate psychology class. But studi by Michael Bailey, my own lleagu, and other rearchers repeatedly fd that homosexual men are most attracted to men their late teens and early twenti, and they don’t re much about stat, stead prrizg physil attractivens. All this suggts that the old “social learng” theori don’t apply well to homosexual preferenc—if so, gay guys would learn om media and the social environment what mak for an attractive man, and go after the same featur that women fd attractive.

Homosexual men are famoly promiscuo, a fact that beme well-known wh the onset of AIDS, when studi of gay men who were HIV-posive revealed average numbers of partners the hundreds (and even though gay men who were HIV negative had much lower numbers, the average for them was still dramatilly higher than the average numbers for heterosexual men). Camper-Ciani and other rearchers have gathered some evince that relativ of homosexuals have more sexual partners, and more offsprg, than relativ of a parable sample of heterosexuals. Homosexual men are cled toward promiscuy, attracted to youth and good looks, and unrg about stat—hence many of the sexual swch homosexual men are set the same posn as they are heterosexual men—if gay guys were straight, their preferenc would lead them to pick fertile femal.
To plite matters further, rearchers like Lisa Diamond have reviewed a reasonable amount of evince that different explanatns will likely apply to male and female homosexuals, and bisexuals. Ltle wonr, then, that over the years we have taken for granted a number of sexual “facts” that now turn out to be the basis for heated, for example, the “fact” that homosexualy is a form of mental illns.
