Back at the mothership the subject of homosexuality has reared its head again. As usual, the same people have said the exact same things they say every time. I, on the other hand, decided to go back to the literature to see what it says and, frankly, it is appalling. I published a short bibliography (there are literally thousands of articles) to indicate how promiscuous many gays are in the Corner. I compiled the list here yesterday from the same sources that indicate how risky the behavior of so many gays is. Unless researchers can figure out why they have so hard a time controlling their own behavior, it will be impossible to come up with strategies to help them avoid HIV, and other dangerous diseases. Here is a small sample of articles which will help indicate the extent of the problem:

When the Emotions Really Started Kicking In, Which Ended Up Being a Problem: Sex, HIV, and Emotions Among Young Gay and Bisexual Men. Journal of Homosexuality; May 2013, Vol. 60 Issue 5, p773-795, 23p.

Money quote from the abstract: Findings from this analysis indicate a need to reexamine the social-cognitive theoretical frameworks that have guided gay men's HIV-prevention efforts, as these frameworks have failed to account for the psychologically complex emotional experiences and gender dynamics that are part of sexual decision making. (Translation: All their theories have proved to be wrong.)

Explanations for the Origins of Sexual Compulsivity Among Gay and Bisexual Men. Archives of Sexual Behavior. Oct2008, Vol. 37 Issue 5, p817-826. 10p. 1 Chart.

Felching Among Men Who Engage in Barebacking (Unprotected Anal Sex).
Archives of Sexual Behavior; Apr2012, Vol. 41 Issue 2, p377-384, 8p, 1 Chart

Internet Use, Recreational Travel, and HIV Risk Behaviors in Men Who Have Sex With Men.Journal of Community Health; June 2011, Vol. 36 Issue 3, p398-405, 8p.

Money quote: Overall, two-thirds of participants reported recreational travel in the previous year. Of these men, 17% reported having sex with a new partner during their most recent vacation. Forty-three percent of the respondents were sexually active during their vacation. Sexually-active participants reported a mean of 2.01 unprotected anal sex acts during their brief vacation stay (M = 6.2 days). Close to half of the sexually-active men reported having sex with a partner of unknown HIV status.

HIV Transmission Risk at a Gay Bathhouse Journal of Sex Research. Nov/Dec2010, Vol. 47 Issue 6, p580-588. 9p. 3 Charts.

Money quote: Among patrons who had oral or anal sex during their visit (n = 758), 16.7% were HIV+, and 13.9% engaged in UAI. Although men had multiple sex partners during a visit, they had UAI with only one of those partners, on average, and withdrawal prior to ejaculation occurred in the vast majority of UAI incidences. (UAI=unprotected anal intercourse)

Condomless Sex: Gay Men, Barebacking, and Harm Reduction. Social Work; April 2006, Vol. 51 Issue 2, p106-113, 8p

I will publish a short list of articles dealing with monogamy (or, rather, the lack of it) next. It is eye-opening too.

Kevin can only know what he sees on the surface. How many of us have been taken totally by surprise when friends' marriages break up? ("But they seemed so happy!") We just don't know as observers on the outside what is going on inside a marriage. The literature on homosexual monogamy is devastating to the "cause". It will take me awhile to put that list together (I am at work so I will chip away at it at lunch.)

In any case, I am not sure the truth matters any longer. In a very real sense the forces of societal breakdown have won. We haven't seen the worst yet by any means.

Monogamy is practiced by homosexuals but not nearly at the rate it is among heterosexuals. One of the outcomes of that reality is that therapists are left somewhat at a loss for treating dysfunctional couples who seek therapy. One thing that stands out when perusing the scholarly literature on homosexuality is its determination not to seem judgmental about any behavior no matter how deviant. When looking at the abstracts below, one notices that the very language the authors use is aimed at obscuring what they are talking about. This is never a good thing.

Bonello, Kristoff, Cross, Malcolm C.
Gay Monogamy: I Love You But I Can't Have Sex With Only You. Journal of Homosexuality; Jan2010, Vol. 57 Issue 1, p117-139
The abstract is unintentionally hilarious. Only 8 couples were studied but, as the author points out, the purpose of the article is to contest the notion that monogamy means the same thing to heterosexuals and homosexuals. Believing that “ may preclude a contextual understanding of gay male monogamy and extra-dyadic sex that may otherwise remain perfunctory. “ Apparently gays go big for emotional monogamy. Not so much for actual.
Klesse C. ‘How to be a Happy Homosexual?!’ Non-monogamy and Governmentality in Relationship Manuals for Gay Men in the 1980s and 1990s. Sociological Review [serial online]. August 2007;55(3):
Another hilarious abstract once you figure it out. Let me translate for you : Gay sexual behavior is not a problem. Defining monogamy based on white, middle class relationships is.
Hosking, Warwick. 2013. "Agreements About Extra-Dyadic Sex in Gay Men's Relationships: Exploring Differences in Relationship Quality by Agreement Type and Rule-Breaking Behavior." Journal Of Homosexuality 60, no. 5: 711. Non-monogamy is not a problem. Breaking the rules the “couple” have set on their sexual behavior is. The quality of such relationships suffer.
SHERNOFF, MICHAEL. 2006. "Negotiated Nonmonogamy and Male Couples." Family Process 45, no. 4: 407-418.
“This article explores the issue of sexual exclusivity and nonexclusivity within male couples. In order to achieve both clinical and cultural competency in work with male couples, therapists need to challenge their cultural biases regarding monogamy.”
Wheldon C, Pathak E. Masculinity and Relationship Agreements among Male Same-Sex Couples. Journal Of Sex Research [serial online]. September 2010;47(5):460-470.
“Extradyadic sex is a significant source of risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among men in same-sex relationships. Nonmonogamous sexual agreements are common among male same-sex couples and may serve as effective targets for risk reduction interventions; however, there is a dearth of research reporting on the social and cultural determinants of explicit nonmonogamous agreements.”
Bonello K. Gay. Monogamy and extra-dyadic sex: A critical review of the theoretical and empirical literature. Counselling Psychology Review. The issue of gay monogamy and extra-dyadic sex has challenged heteronormative relationship conventions for decades and controversial research findings have been widely cited. This paper reviews a small but meaningful body of theoretical propositions and empirical evidence that looks at monogamy and nonmonogamy in male couples and the functions of extra-dyadic sex. … Results: Most couples established non-monogamous relationships for reasons of sexual variety and were equally adjusted and functional as their monogamous counterparts. Non-monogamy in gay-male couples does not inevitably conflate with relationship dissatisfaction in such dyads. Monogamy was sustainable for many but not for others who broke their original agreements.
Hoff, Colleen C, and Sean C Beougher. 2010. "Sexual agreements among gay male couples." Archives Of Sexual Behavior 39, no. 3: 774-787
“Many gay male couples make agreements about whether or not to permit sex with outside partners, yet little is known about the development and maintenance of these agreements, their impact on relationships, and whether they are an effective HIV prevention strategy.” Many gay male couples make agreements about whether or not to permit sex with outside partners, yet little is known about the development and maintenance of these agreements, their impact on relationships, and whether they are an effective HIV prevention strategy.

If anyone is unsure of the reasons our Republic is on the slide into destruction, one need only read the comments in the Corner where I posted these bibliographies. They are horrifying in their utter contempt for honesty, and their absolute unwillingness to face up to hard facts. Although I have made no personal commentary about the articles (although I have "translated" a couple of abstracts) they attribute the findings in the literature to me and have pronounced them lies. I do not know how one explains self-deception on a scale like that. It is that simple in their minds.

What is equally amusing is that most of the journals that turned up were started by homosexuals (and are still largely staffed by them) because their issues were not being taken seriously in the academic community. So for instance, the founder of the Journal of Homosexuality is Charles Silverstein-- a therapist and gay activist (he has moved on in the meantime). The current editor in chief is too. That is true for a lot of these journals and it is obvious why. Who cares more about gays and their issues than gays? The lack of real concern for them could not be made clearer than it has been in the Corner.

It's brought many good things to an end. The modern world will be no different. I don't even know why I put myself in that conversation.
