Physiological differences in gay men and lesbians

Recent studies have found notable differences between the physiology of gay people and non-gay people. There is evidence that:

* The average size of the INAH-3 in the brains of gay men is approximately the same size as INAH 3 in women, which is significantly smaller, and the cells more densely packed, than in heterosexual men's brains.

* The suprachiasmatic nucleus was found by Swaab and Hopffman to be larger in gay men than in non-gay men, the suprachiasmatic nucleus is also known to be larger in men than in women.
* The anterior commissure is larger in women than men, and larger in gay men than in non-gay men.
* Gay men have, on an average, slightly longer and thicker penises than non-gay men.
* Gay men's brains respond differently to fluoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor.
* The functioning of the inner ear and the central auditory system in lesbians and bisexual women are more like the functional properties found in men than in non-gay women (the researchers argued this finding was consistent with the prenatal hormonal theory of sexual orientation).
* The startle response (eyeblink following a loud sound) is similarly masculinized in lesbians and bisexual women.
* Three regions of the brain (medial prefrontal cortex, left hippocampus, and right amygdala) are more active in gay men than non-gay men when exposed to sexually arousing material.
* Gay and non-gay people emit different armpit odors.
* Gay men are more likely to have a counter-clockwise hair whorl pattern.
* Gay and non-gay people's brains respond differently to two human sex pheromones (AND, found in male armpit secretions, and EST, found in female urine).
* Finger length ratios between the index and ring fingers may be different between non-gay and lesbian women.

I'm not sure about all of that but thanks for posting, it was interesting to read. I do know this though about homosexuality: it is caused by a mutation on a gene from the man. I learned that in my developmental psychology class a couple years ago. Bisexuality wasn't mentioned but i'm assuming that it is the same for that as well, a mutation on the gene. Oh and apparently also in a family with a lot of male children, the youngest one is more likely to be gay. Just thought i might share that since it is kinda on topic. smile.gif

Yeah, according to my professor and the book it is. That is what i believe as well. I mean, if it was a choice then why would people in certain parts of the south choose to be gay for example? I mean the south isn't exactly very gay friendly. If it were a choice it seems to me like pretty much everyone would choose to be straight just because it would be easier since people are unfortunately more accepting of that orientation. But still so many people are naive thinking its a choice and are very closed minded about that sort of thing. The south though in particular is very closed minded when it comes to sexuality. I know a girl who is lesbian and her best friend was accused of being lesbian too just because she was really good friends with one, that is so retarded. Also, i know for a fact that if my sister or i were lesbian, my parents would shit a brick. I think it's a shame how the south is about that sort of thing. I want to move. sad.gif

I'd like to remind people of "fan" reactions to new Shakira material in the past....

2001 - "OMGGG!!!!!!1!! Why is Shakira singing in English with blonde hair!!! She is such a sell out, I hate her now."

2005 - "OMGGG!!!!!1!!! Why is Shakira doing reggaeton and collaborating with anybody!!! She is such a sell out, I hate her now."

2006 - "OMGGG!!!!!1!!! Why is Shakira doing a song with Wyclef, it sucks so much and nobody is ever going to buy it. She is such a sell out, I hate her now."

2009 - "OMGGG!!!!!1!!! Why is Shakira dancing like that in a black leotard to a song that sounds like Lady Gaga? It Sucks. She is such a sell out, I hate her now."

2010 - see the past 12 pages....

I find that one funny. I am male and have three brothers. I'm the second oldest and gay, but none of my younger brothers are gay. Must be hit and miss with some families.

The armpits odors are true. It's 100% true, since humans are attracted by odors, in some kind of way, and that's how we fall in love. Anways, I know this one is true at 100%. shakifanatica54.gif
