>>>>>>>>>If that was the case as you guys stated the majority of the people who are homosexual went to a religious or same sex boarding schools. Or the guy who was to afraid to ask some one to the prom or on a date was gay. What about the guys who shower in community showers at the coed gym or school. Are they homosexual? Maybe if we had coed showers guys would not feel the need to stare at the family jewels. Oh thats not homosexual behaviour its just manly men showing off the wares to other men :-). Miss Canada they should do a study on this... >>>>>>>>>>>

No one blatantly suggested that, if A) you went to a private school; then B) you were by nurture probably gay. What we were trying to understand (or at least I was) was “Does social sex segregation effect human behavior (and socialization)?" Basically trying to shed some light and attempt to give a “pseudo-sociological perspective” to why Qatari men are more attracted to the same sex (then to the opposite). Or maybe, I’m way off here and behind closed doors Qatari men overwhelm their partners with obsessive hand holding, hugging and caressing, kisses, nose touching, etc. Basically, you’d have to beat them off with a stick!!

I don’t want to hear, “this form of affection exists because it is a cultural norm. Yes, of course it is the norm and of course, it is part of their culture, but what are the underlying cultural factors that make a person more attracted to the same sex? Any ideas? I think we need to have a (lol) study (of course one of the key factors must include shower time)! Eh qd06? Hey, at least it helps to kill some time in the office!
