How did homosexuality arise? So far, although many scholars have been studying it, no clear and widely accepted conclusion has been drawn.
In the book "Mamore's Sexual Mistakes", it is written that homosexuality is determined by various factors such as psychodynamics, socio-cultural, biological, situational, and so on, and the reasons for forming homosexuality are diverse.
1. Explanation of Psychodynamics
Many psychologists have proposed that the causes of homosexuality are no different from heterosexuality. Both are life styles that people can adopt, and the difference is only the gender of the choice object. However, many psychoanalysis do not agree with this view. They believe that homosexuality is a kind of neuropsychological disorder. It is Freud's "Oedipus complex" that failed to overcome in adolescence. He hopes to occupy his mother, but the result is a "fear of castration", which leads to psychological barriers in communication with the opposite sex. Another explanation emphasizes the role of fathers in homosexual behavior, as families with male homosexuality are caused by having an overly domineering mother and a timid, weak, and passive father, which creates obstacles for boys to identify with masculinity.
2。 Biological Interpretation
Some people suggest that homosexual behavior may have biological roots. Observations on animals and humans
Discovery: Most mammals, especially male animals, experience homosexual behavior. Occasionally, a male dog, bull, or gorilla may even engage in a single form of homosexual behavior. Meanwhile, observations also indicate that the incidence of homosexuality among human identical twins is higher than that of identical twins. Male and female bodies contain androgens and estrogen, and the imbalance in hormone secretion during fetal and adolescent periods may lead to the occurrence of homosexual behavior. Because hormones play an important role in human sexual development, the primordial gonad of the initial embryo has a two-way development trend, which depends on the level of androgen in the fetus. Testosterone promotes the primordial gonad to develop in the direction of masculinization, and promotes the growth and development of male reproductive organs. Insufficient testosterone leads to the feminization of the primordial gonads, resulting in the development of female internal and external genitalia, which determines the sexual characteristics of both males and females. As a result, another sexual organ gradually deteriorates, leaving only remnants. Is this situation likely to become a biological cause of homosexuality formation? This is just a statement and lacks reliable evidence.
