Hi Rita,

thank you for your answer! Is the scientificness caused by the references or vice versa?

Hello Mike,

The book is a scientific paper, with 317 references in it. It is not in a scientific journal because I do not have a PhD and the research was not paid for.

Kind regards,

Rita

Subject: Re: [CRITSEX] Ebook: "Modern Diet and Stress Cause Homosexuality. A Hypothesis and a Potential Therapy."

Does this book have connection with the "don't feed the trolls" hypothesis?

Dear all,


Below there is a summary of the book:

This e-book explores the potential interconnected, causative role of diet and stress in homosexuality. Some of the evidence that supports the hypothesis of this e-book includes increased prevalence of homosexuality in the last decades in some developed countries; higher frequency of substance use, eating disorders, anxiety, adverse childhood events among homosexuals; higher prevalence of homosexuality in the urban versus rural area, in societies with more intensive agriculture versus those with less intensive one; in the wealthy versus the poor (prior to massive industrialization); in overcrowded animals, etc. It is proposed that sexual behavior goes through six stages: spontaneous sexual arousal, attribution of arousal to an emotional cue, courtship, physical contact, stereotypical movements and orgasm, and that homosexuality arises when the urge for stereotypical movements is lacking or is sex atypical. Modern diet and/or stress may affect the development and/or functioning of the brain center responsible for the control of the stereotypical movements. This e-book proposes a potential therapy for ego-dystonic homosexuality, based mainly on diet, sleep hygiene and behavioral therapy.

Have a nice day,
