Subgroups of gay men leated by anal sex rol differ acrdg to at least one such tra: genr exprsn. The prent study asssed the hypothis that handns, a blogilly termed sexually differentiated tra, rrponds to differenc subgroups of gay men based on anal sex role. Furthermore, asssed whether handns mediat the associatn between genr nonnformy and male sexual orientatn. Straight and gay men (N = 333) pleted the Edburgh Inventory of Handns and the Relled Childhood Genr Nonnformy Sle. Gay men also pleted measur of anal sex role preference. As prev studi, gay men showed greater non-right-handns and genr nonnformy than straight men. Also, among gay men, bottoms/versatil (i.e., gay men who take a receptive anal sex role, or who take on both a receptive and sertive anal sex role) were more genr-nonnformg than tops (i.e., gay men who take an sertive anal sex role). In support of the hypothis, bottoms/versatil were more non-right-hand than tops and handns mediated the male sexual orientatn and anal sex role differenc Relled Childhood Genr Nonnformy. Together, the fdgs suggt that velopmental procs lked to handns unrp variatn among men sexual orientatn and genr nonnformy as well as variatn among subgroups of gay men that are leated by anal sex rol.
