Only | '''Homosexuality''' is same-sex sexual attraction or behavior with lots of political drama associated with it.

Male homosexuals come in multiple different manifestations. A minority of (presumably) [[life history|fast-life strategists]] is known to engage in an excessive, anonymous and [[promiscuity|promisuous]] lifestyle 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, male androphilia is more prevalent than what [[wikipedia:Mutation–selection balance|mutation–selection balance]] between androphilia and gynophilia (attraction women) would predict.<ref name="ref42">http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-26089486</ref> | However, male androphilia is more prevalent than what [[wikipedia:Mutation–selection balance|mutation–selection balance]] between androphilia and gynophilia (attraction women) would predict.<ref name="ref42">http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-26089486</ref> | ||
