Then homosexuality is just a behaviour and not genetic???? 

Actually I have missed the point. 

Maybe we could divide it into two categories - homosexual behaviour under duress and genetic homosexuality? 

Rape in prison is not about sex. It's about power. Just as hetero rape is not an expression of heterosexuality.

In high school biology we studied a list of various forms of hermaphrodity. One example is someone who is chromosomally one sex (ie XY vs XX), but because of hormone exposure or some other malfunction is physically the opposite sex. I think that was a case study of a person who felt trapped in the wrong body.

Of course, that sort of hermaphrodity has nothing to do with homosexuality.

Well I don't pretend to understand it, but a lot of the biggest, toughest guys in our jails, do stand over others for oral sex, but do not practice anal sex.

They rationalise the oral sex as not being gay, because they can close their eyes and think of some girl of their fantasies, and even those who go the extra mile always do so as the "father", rather than the "mother".

Now a gay friend who got stuck in jail for drugs always said that half of them were closet queens, but they would slit your throat if you ever suggested it.

The other half, he thought had just accepted that twenty years of masturbation deserves to be broken up with a few BJ's, even if it is with a guy, as Grendel said, they just want to get their rocks off.

It would be interesting to see what a psychologist would make of their behaviour, and motivations, but how he would get the truth would be problematic.

There's a term for that. It's called marriage.
