Peripheralized males engaging in homosexual behavior (grooming, penis display and touching, and sodomy) can be also found in various primate species, and has been observed in all-male societies of pirates, as well as in vulnerable British men transported to Australia as punishment for crimes. | Peripheralized males engaging in homosexual behavior (grooming, penis display and touching, and sodomy) can be also found in various primate species, and has been observed in all-male societies of pirates, as well as in vulnerable British men transported to Australia as punishment for crimes. | ||

Muscarella suggested peripheralized men (incels) can establish sexually intimate social ties with sexually frustrated men of higher social standing, to partially re-gain their access to resources and potentially restoring some amount of [[reproductive success]] (and hence be adaptive behavior).<ref>https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1300/J082v40n01_03</ref> | Muscarella suggested peripheralized men (incels) can establish sexually intimate social ties with sexually frustrated men of higher social standing, to partially re-gain their access to resources and potentially restoring some amount of [[reproductive success]] (and hence be adaptive behavior).<ref>https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1300/J082v40n01_03</ref> Pederasty in several cultures like Romans and Ancient Japan may be related to such adaptive behavior as the growing boys often lack status and can gain access to resources through a more dominant/older male. | ||
Evidence for homocel hypothesis can also be found in [[Behavioral sink|mouse utopia experiments]], where socially deprived rodents in extremely overpopulated environments started engaging in deviant sexual behavior, including homosexuality. | Evidence for homocel hypothesis can also be found in [[Behavioral sink|mouse utopia experiments]], where socially deprived rodents in extremely overpopulated environments started engaging in deviant sexual behavior, including homosexuality. | ||
