According to anthropologist Desmond Morris ( didn't he write something called the Naked Ape ?)...
Gays ( are) тАШjuvenileтАЩ says academic.
A respected British anthropologist has suggested homosexuality can be explained by a process which causes adults to retain juvenile traits. In his latest book, The Naked Man: A Study of the Male Body, Desmond Morris says that тАШneotenyтАЩ (the biological term for a phenomenon where infantile or juvenile characteristics are continued into adulthood) may cause men to be gay. He also claims that gay men are more inventive and creative than heterosexuals, because they are more likely to retain the mental agility and imagination of childhood. тАЬThe playfulness of childhood is continued with certain people into adulthood. This is very much a positive,тАЭ

I agree with him..I'm still only 39 ( have been for decades ) and I still identify with teens. OK I look a bit look a 70 year old Britney Spears..but my mind is still firmly back in the 1960's.
