In much of Oceania, the Middle East, the Caribbean, Africa, and parts of Asia, homosexuality remains illegal and severely punishable, with some countries having a death penalty for it.<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/1529100616637616</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2015/05/12/gambias-president-threatens-to-slit-the-throats-of-gay-men/</ref> | In much of Oceania, the Middle East, the Caribbean, Africa, and parts of Asia, homosexuality remains illegal and severely punishable, with some countries having a death penalty for it.<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/1529100616637616</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2015/05/12/gambias-president-threatens-to-slit-the-throats-of-gay-men/</ref> | ||
In many countries, including Western countries, 'treatments' for homosexuality have been devised which have proven 'effective',<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/003329410209000316.2</ref> which isn't surprising since nearly all men with androphilia have gynephilia anyhow. | In many countries, including Western countries, 'treatments' for homosexuality have been devised which have proven 'effective',<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/003329410209000316.2</ref> which isn't surprising since nearly all men with androphilia have gynephilia anyhow. | ||

People often equate Homoexuality and Bisexuality as the same thing, but OkCupid data<ref>https://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2010/07/26/bisexuality-and-dating-on-okcupid/</ref> disagree, and that 20% of male and 25% of female "bisexuals" | People often equate Homoexuality and Bisexuality as the same thing, but OkCupid data<ref>https://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2010/07/26/bisexuality-and-dating-on-okcupid/</ref> disagree, and that only 20% of male and 25% of female "bisexuals" peruses both genders, implying that most self-proclaimed bisexuals are sexual chameleons. For women, homosexual and heterosexual chameleon rate is about 50-50, whilst for males, those that are under 30 are more likely to be homosexuals (~2:1 for 20-year-olds, ~1:1 for 30-year-olds), while those between 30 and 40 are more likely to be heterosexual (~2.5:1 for 40-year-olds). OkCupid<ref>https://emilkirkegaard.dk/en/2018/04/intelligence-and-religiousness-in-okcupid-dataset/</ref> also demonstrated that homosexual males are as religious as purely heterosexual females, heterosexual males are as agnostic as lesbians, and bisexuals are generally anti-religious. Gays that are more well educated are less likely to be sexually promiscuous<ref><nowiki>https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-biosocial-science/article/intelligence-and-homosexuality/E07585DD50D9924C677EFC7B6060AB0A</nowiki></ref> (possibly K-strategy adaptation). | ||

Since homosexual acts cannot produce offspring, one would expect attraction to other men (androphilia) to be non-adaptive or even [[maladaptiveness|maladaptive]], because, from the point of view of the genes, homosexual men waste time and resources on activities that do not raise directly their [[reproductive success]]. | Since homosexual acts cannot produce offspring, one would expect attraction to other men (androphilia) to be non-adaptive or even [[maladaptiveness|maladaptive]], because, from the point of view of the genes, homosexual men waste time and resources on activities that do not raise directly their [[reproductive success]]. | ||

A common feminist claim is that male homophobes often have repressed homosexual impulses, which seems to have been indicated by phallometry suggesting a surprising amount of men may really do have slight or even strong androphilia.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_homosexuality#Links_to_homophobia</ref> | A common feminist claim is that male homophobes often have repressed homosexual impulses, which seems to have been indicated by phallometry suggesting a surprising amount of men may really do have slight or even strong androphilia.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_homosexuality#Links_to_homophobia</ref> | ||
This may be related to the finding mentioned in the previous section that femininized (in this case homosexual) men adopt homophobia as a means of establishing their heterosexuality. | This may be related to the finding mentioned in the previous section that femininized (in this case homosexual) men adopt homophobia as a means of establishing their heterosexuality. | ||

Paradoxically, there is evidence that male homosocial intimacy, the intimacy between heterosexual males, has declined with the acceptance of homosexuals.
