摘要:

AbstractIn recent years, the concept role has become a dominant theoretical tool in explaining homosexuality as the medical model has become subject to serious attacks. It is argued here, however, that such usage is inappropriate in that it violates the most fundamental tenets of the definition of this concept. While the term role usually implies prescriptions for behavior which have prior existence in the social structure, such prescriptions for homosexual behavior simply do not exist. While a role, as it is ordinarily understood, may be ascribed or achieved, children are neither socialized into the“homosexual role”nor do they rationally choose it. It is concluded that homosexuality is neither a“condition”nor a role but rather a sexual orientation and no useful theoretical purpose is served by regarding it as role behavior. Empirical data based on questionnaires and interviews with 206 male homosexuals and 78 male heterosexuals are utilized to support this argument.

摘要:

AbstractAfter a pilot study of two male teams at two different universities suggested that some athletes apparently had participated in homosexual activities which they would reliable answer questions about, the researchers surveyed three additional teams at three other universities. The data indicated that a fairly substantial minority of collegiate male athletes had engaged in gay actions. The results did not appear to be due to sample bias, ambiguity in defining what is“gay,”deception, or other artifacts.

摘要:

AbstractThe present report describes the organization and operation of a community based venereal disease clinic designed to meet the particular needs of homosexual men. Male same‐sex contact is seen as an important factor in the epidemiology of venereal disease and the community based clinic is described as a potentially important mechanism for control of the disease. Socio‐medical characteristics of male homosexual patients are described. Data are offered to document the prevalence of asymptomatic gonorrhea and the need for screening of atypical sites in this population.
