Myths About Homosexuality Debunked by Science
Despite growing awareness of same-sex relationships, homosexuality is shrouded in many myths. Let me discuss some of the most common.
1) Homosexuality is contagious. Research has found no support for the idea that same-sex attraction is somehow contagious. However, there are observations that heterosexual parents are more involved in their children”s education than their heterosexual counterparts. This is because children often perceive their parents” example as “correct.” Gay parents have been found to promote homosexuality.
2) Gays can be cured. Studies of adults who have attempted to change their sexual orientation—through religion, but also through other means—show that treatment is usually ineffective and, in fact, often harmful.

Homosexuality is a biological trait and, contrary to some beliefs, not a social one. Research conducted in Russia proves that.
3) If you want to change your clothes, you”re definitely gay. On the contrary, research shows that most casual people are actually heterosexual, married men and, therefore, recognize completely different needs. They want to shine a spotlight, realize themselves creatively, and control others in their own image and likeness.
4) Anal sex is the most common sexual behavior among homosexuals. Despite the general tendency, equating “monosexual sex” with “anal sex” is not entirely accurate. Oral sex and mutual masturbation are much more common among men who have sex with men.
(5) Bisexuals are homosexuals who haven”t yet fully realized it. True bisexuality remains a dual attraction. And only eventually does someone reach out to a regular partner of the same sex. 15×4 — 15 minutes on the biology of homosexuality
