While female sexuality appears to be more fluid, research suggests that male
gayness is an inborn, unalterable, strongly genetically influenced trait.
But considering that the trait discourages the type of sex that leads to
procreation — that is, sex with women — and would therefore seem to thwart
its own chances of being genetically passed on to the next generation, why
are there gay men at all?
Put differently, why haven't gay man... 阅读全帖 |
