'''Homosexuality''' is same-sex sexual attraction or behavior with lots of political drama associated with it. Only around 1% of the population identifies as exclusively homosexual and for most this identity changes over time. Male homosexuals come in multiple different manifestations. A minority of presumably [[life history|fast-life strategists]] is known to engage in an excessive, anonymous [[promiscuity]] that, unlimited by [[sex drive|female coyness]], accounts for the majority of infections with some sexually transmissible diseases. This fact is a taboo in Western countries due to how politicized the topic has become. However, the majority of homosexuals has comparable sex frequencies as heterosexuals, engaging in homosociality and sexual curiosity, in fact, a larger share, about 10% of 'normal' men has such bisexual curiosities at least once in their lifetime. | '''Homosexuality''' is same-sex sexual attraction or behavior with lots of political drama associated with it.
