The article presents a study that investigates the dichotomy in male homosexual behavior. A small multiple-choice type questionnaire was employed to collect the data and the respondents were divided into two groups depending on whether they preferred the insertor or recipient role in anal intercourse. The researchers found that there was a significant difference between the two groups not only in terms of other sexual behavior but also in terms of social behavior. Moreover, the differences between two groups were also found in terms of the aversion to having other homosexuals refer to them as "she" and in terms of describing a "masterful" partner during the sexual act.

As an aspect of research into pederasty, the author suggests that deeper insights into feelings and emotions, and aspects not usually discussed in scientific articles, might be obtained from an examination of biographies and biographical novels, from specifically pederast novels as well as from fiction with pederast incidents. The volume of legal, historical, fictional and psychological material shows that there is much more sexual involvement between men and boys than has been commonly believed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The ancient Egyptians often regarded anal intercourse as a sign of submissive behavior and Egyptian mythology includes several stories demonstrating this belief. Whether this belief derived from a magical belief or from observation of animals or from an attempt to make a man ‘womanlike’ is uncertain. Evidently quite early in recorded history, however, there is evidence that man recognized that certain forms of sexual behavior implied a dominant-submissive relationship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
