Homosexuality: Difference between revisions

Homophobia may be an instance of the so called ''behavioral immune system'', referring to behavioral adaptations such as ''disgust'' for avoiding infectious disease.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6562335/</ref><ref>https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/pdf/10.1098/rstb.2010.0117</ref> As evidenced in the [[#Statistics|statistics]] section, the excessively promiscuous, fast LH lifestyle of some male homosexuals is a major vector for sexually transmitted infectious diseases. Unlike the vagina, the anus doesn't produce its own lubrication and has relatively thin lining which increases the risk of tears and hence the risk of STDs.<ref>https://www.nhs.uk/common-health-questions/sexual-health/does-anal-sex-have-any-health-risks/</ref> Since most androphile men are in fact bisexuals means they potentially spread disease through heterosexual activity. That may explain why people of either sex may have disgust adaptations against male homosexuals and also why this disgust is higher in fast LH ecologies such as Africa and South Asia, where one would expect even more excessive promiscouity.
