This retrospective study compares memories of the father-son relationship between lifelong socially well-adjusted, non-patient homosexual and heterosexual men. No homosexual subject reported the presence of a reasonably intact, positive relationship with his father or father surrogate during preadolescent years, whereas 12 of the 17 heterosexual men did. Previous investigators have hypothesized that a constructive, supportive father-son relationship precludes the development of homosexual orientation. This hypothesis stemmed from investigation of men who in general suffered from significant global psychopathology. The data in the present investigation supports the notion that a meaningful association, which is not attributable to confounding psychopathology, exists between quality of father-son relationship during early life and male sexual orientation.

This article describes the typology of negative responses in a medical student sex education seminar. Seventy medical students were observed during participation in sex education seminars during a seven month period. Their behavior in class was generally appropriate. Negative responses sometimes did occur, however. These were manifested more frequently in men than in women students and were characterized by hostility or withdrawal in males, and subgroup formation in females.
