Today, most homosexuals identify as versatile (around 40%), meaning they have no particular preference for the role of the penetrator or the penetree.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20120125003836/http://www.straightacting.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?p=222697</ref><ref>https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-017-0980-y</ref> This means contemporary homosexuals do not exhibit a dichotomy in penetrative or dominance behavior. This may be regarded as counter-evidence for the dominant/submissive dichotomy hypothesis. | Today, most homosexuals identify as versatile (around 40%), meaning they have no particular preference for the role of the penetrator or the penetree.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20120125003836/http://www.straightacting.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?p=222697</ref><ref>https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-017-0980-y</ref> This means contemporary homosexuals do not exhibit a dichotomy in penetrative or dominance behavior.

However, modern (exclusive) homosexual identity is likely only a political fad, attracting people to act out their sexual fantasies rather than adaptations in the context they evolved.<ref name=" | However, modern (exclusive) homosexual identity is likely only a political fad, attracting people to act out their sexual fantasies rather than adaptations in the context they evolved.<ref name="fluidref"></ref> | ||

Taken together, this suggests contemporary men self-identifying as homosexuals are unlikely to be representative of human sexuality in the past, but merely execute adaptations in an extremely liberated context and potentially as the result of mutational load. Hence, they must be used with caution as evidence of evolutionary processes of the past. | Taken together, this suggests contemporary men self-identifying as homosexuals are unlikely to be representative of human sexuality in the past, but merely execute adaptations in an extremely liberated context and potentially as the result of mutational load.
