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

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. Moreover, bottoms may not admit to this role exactly because it is associated with low status (social desirability bias). That being said, mutational load is not a judgement or an insult, much like a genetic disease is not a judgment or an insult. | 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, in some cases, as the result of mutational load.
