Sexual Orientation and Penis Size

I know this is a touchy subject, but I will ask anyway. I also know that penis size is determined mostly by factors out of our control. Most people agree that penis size isnâ€™t nearly as important as things like overall sexual interest, sexual technique, and sexual compatibility. I am a bisexual man of limited experience. I admit I have not seen hundreds of stiff dicks in my lifetime, most that I have seen are in porn sites. I would like to ask the following queston. Do gay men have less male sex hormones, especially testosterone, which in turn cause them to have a smaller penis? I donâ€™t know if there is any sceintific facts about this, but it seems that way to me. What do you think?

I don't know how accurate it was, but the one study that I know of showed that gay men tend to have BIGGER cocks, and I'm pretty sure that one of the theories of what determines sexual orientation is exposure to hormones in the womb, with future gay men being exposed to more testosterone. Pretty simple to find the info if you do a little searching on the Web. Anyone else have links to beter info?

Sexual orientation seems to be determined mostly or entirely before birth. It's not known exactly how the changes occur, but they mostly seem to do with particular hormones (besides testosterone) that are responsible for masculinizing the brain and body before birth. So there doesn't seem to be a direct link between sexual orientation and any characteristics outside the brain. There are some average behavioral differences (outside of sex) and I do know that there seem to be very small differences in other body proportions, but I don't know anything about penis size. What I can tell you is that most of the chemical changes involved in sexual orientation are over by puberty, which is when adult penis size seems to mostly be determined. So I wouldn't expect a huge correlation.

In general, gay and straight men have the same amounts of testosterone.

It's interesting to note that when you look at various cognitive differences between men and women, gay men are generally closer to women's response at some times and closer to men's at others. Sometimes they are statistically identical to one or the other. Some gays seem to have few or no traits different from straight men aside from the obvious. It's very hard to tell ahead of time whether gay men will test just like straight men or closer to women on any given quality; you have to actually do the study.

Here's a link to an article about the study I mentioned: http://www.salon.com/health/sex/urge/wo ... index.html Al
