Plus, we never want to pass up an opportunity to support a gay-owned or gay-friendly organization, which most of these brands are. Naturally, these brands can be worn by everyone – gay or straight – but let’s just say that the aesthetic experience makes them particularly appealing to gay men. Is there any better form of ‘self-care’ than the confidence boost of a flattering pair of briefs? Luckily, there are a whole lot of gay underwear brands that will get the job done, leaving you feeling hot as hell and ready to take on the world. That’s why we should all be wearing underwear that’s not only comfortable but stylish and sexy, too. We all know gay men have high expectations for underwear – and that nothing kills a good time faster than old, cheap, ugly or ill-fitting underwear. And, the horror of horrors, imagine if you get lucky with a gorgeous stranger and then have to strip down to those. Let’s face it, no one’s feeling sexy when they’re wearing a years-old pair of briefs with saggy elastic and holes in the waistband (excuse us while we shudder). We're also on Facebook & Google+.Do you know how they say that you can make yourself feel fabulous from the inside out? Well, obviously, that’s about inner beauty, but we reckon it’s also got a lot to do with underwear. Follow Life's Little Mysteries on Twitter llmysteries. But as for why genetic factors would exist that make men gay, it appears that these genes make women, as well as gay men, alluring to other men.įollow Natalie Wolchover on Twitter nattyover. He noted that environmental factors - including the level of exposure to certain hormones in the womb - also play a role in molding male sexuality. "It is quite possible that there are several influences on forming a homosexual orientation," said Gerulf Rieger, a sexual orientation researcher at Cornell University. Of course, no single factor can account for the varied array of sexual orientations that exist, in men as well as in women. The new study will appear in an upcoming issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine. Attracting and choosing from the best males enables these women to produce more offspring, he noted. "In other words, compared to the others, perfect for a male," Camperio Ciani said. Turns out, the moms and aunts of gay men have an advantage over the moms and aunts of straight men for several reasons: They are more fertile, displaying fewer gynecological disorders or complications during pregnancy they are more extroverted, as well as funnier, happier and more relaxed and they have fewer family problems and social anxieties.
The androphilic pattern that we found is about females who increase their reproductive value to attract the best males," Camperio Ciani told Life's Little Mysteries.
"High fecundity, that means having more babies, is not about pleasure in sex, nor is it about promiscuity. Rather than making women more attracted to men, the "gay man gene" appears to make these women more attractive to men. But after investigating the characteristics of 161 female maternal relatives of homosexual and heterosexual men, the researchers have adjusted their hypothesis. Previously, the Italian researchers suggested that the "gay man gene" might simply increase androphilia, or attraction to men, thereby making the males who possess the gene homosexual and the females who possess it more promiscuous. But how might the "gay man gene" make females more reproductively successful? A new study by Camperio Ciani and his team addresses the question for the first time.
