Much of the promiscuous, non-monogamous lifestyle that causes a high prevalence of STDs among male homosexuals can easily be understood considering that men have a very promiscuous sexuality due to their low [[Bateman's principle|parental investment]], thus without female coyness involved which is typically the main [[sex drive|limiting factor]] in sexual activity, homosexual males are bound to have a vast amount of sex. | |||
The high prevalence of mental ill health may either stem from social exclusion, but conversely, genetically neuroatypical, depressed men may tend to be low status, which may drive them to exhibit [[homocel]] behavior, seeking alliances with higher status men. | |||
