Gay man In sexology, street term for a male homosexual.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Sexology
The totality of characteristics of structures and functions differentiating the male from the female organism. It includes sexology, the study of the differences and interactions between the sexes. It does not include various sexual factors in epidemiology and statistics or the role of the sexes or differences in behavior, psychology, and sociology.
Homosexual
Characterized by same-sex contact, either as a genital act or as a long-term sexuoerotic status [from Greek, homos, same + sex]. It is analogous to left-handedness in being not pathological in itself, though not conforming to the statistical nor the ideological norm, and not being exempt from other pathology. A homosexual person is able to fall in love with, and become the pairbonded sexuoerotic partner of only a person of the same morphologic sex (homophilic homosexual). Homosexuality is not a paraphilia but a gender transposition, variable in extent and degree. Paraphilias may occur in association with either homosexual or heterosexual pairing.
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------
Gay dating
In sexology, dating activity between same sex potential partners for sex intercourse.
Gay gene
A gene located on the X chromosome which was alleged to determine male homosexuality. The "gay gene" was dubbed homosexuality 1 (HMS1) and the male sexual orientation gene. It was thought to be in chromosome band Xq28. However, one would expect there to be strong selective pressures against a gene for male homosexual orientation. The original claim for the "gay gene" was made in 1993 by Dean H. Hamer and colleagues. There has been no independent confirmation of the existence of a "gay gene" and today there is considerable doubt about its existence.
