Is it true that a gay males hytothalamus is bigger than a straight males?!


Question:

Answers:
The most sexually active part of the brain is located in the hypothalamus, some studies have been done that show homosexual men have a brain more similar to a female's in that area, though it is actually inconclusive at this time yet. There have been many studies done even something about the way an ear is shaped. Whatever they find, since this has been going on forever, they will find something that will prove beyond a doubt that there is a biological reason for this behavior.

Other Answers:
yes, i learned about that in a bio-psych class. Maybe it was the other way around though. i can't remember. but i know there is a difference. another interesting fact: When you have fraternal twins and one of them is a homosexual, 50% of the time the other one is also a homosexual. This is more evidence that homosexuality is, at least in some, genetic and not purely social.

I read about that too. If this is true then it could mean that homosexuality is at least in some way genetic rather than something learned from enviroment. Which is really messed up.

Certain structures within the hypothalamus are larger in gay males that they are in straight males, such as the anterior commissure (which has no known relationship to sexual behavior) and the suprachiasmatic nucleus. It appears that males who are deprived of testosterone as fetuses have these differences in brain structures.
