curred. “In short, it explains why not all sissies are homosexual, and not all homosexuals are sissies. A British psychologist, Glen Wilson, the author of Love’s Mysteries, agrees with Dorner that the presetting of the brain before birth may sometimes be ‘inappropriate, in that the gender of the child is male and his anatomical appearance is male, but for some reason or another, his brain had not received the necessary hormonal instruction that would cause it to be masculinised.’ (Wilson, 387) He reminds us that we are dealing with very fine and critical amounts of testosterone, measured in thousands-millionth parts of a gram; a possible explanation of how, in non-identical twins, developing in virtually identical condition in the womb, one may be homosexual and the other not. (Wilson, 89) An American scientist, Dr. Milton Diamond, also comes to the same general conclusion as Dorner, but believes the development of sexual brain tissue involves four, not three, stages. First, basic sexual patterning, aggressiveness or passivity; second, sexual identity - what sex people think they are; thirdly, sexual object choice, which is the same as Dorner’s mating centre; and finally the control centres for the sexual equipment, including the mechanisms of orgasm. If something goes wrong during the development of each or any of these stages, they will eventually be ‘out of phase’ with each other. So a man may be assertive and aggressive - typically male - yet have a homosexual choice of sexual object; he may have effeminate mannerisms, yet have a high, heterosexual drive. “The brain is not sexed in one ‘big band’” (Diamond, 40) This hormonal theory would explain why sexual deviancy is so much more common in men (about 10 : 1 ration of men to women homosexuality). (Kinsey, 13) Men have to go through a hormonal process to change their brains from the natural female pattern present in...
