The fraternal birth order effect has been described by one of its proponents as "the most consistent biodemographic correlate of sexual orientation in men". [5] In 1958, it was reported that homosexual men tend to have a greater number of older siblings (i.e., a 'later/higher birth order') than comparable heterosexual men and in 1962, these findings were published in detail.

In that view, many human artifacts could be considered subject to sexual selection as part of the extended phenotype, for instance clothing that enhances sexually selected traits. [2] During human evolution, on at least two occasions, hominid brain size increased rapidly over a short period of time followed by a period of stasis.
Adolescent boys are generally sexually interested in adolescent girls and women somewhat older than they are. [8] Older men also display an interest in women of their own age. [9] However, research suggests that relationship patterns are more influenced by women's preferences than men's. [8] [10] [11]
Men and women have developed separate sexual strategies that are used for both short-term and long-term mate gain. Psychological adaptations such as mate guarding and sexual jealousy, and biological adaptations such as men’s testes size indicate that polygamy was present in evolutionary history, [35] [36] [18] and
In 2015, around 7% of men and 10% of women identified as gay, according to a survey of around 30,000 people by the Faculty of Science at Charles University in Prague. [35] However, it was a survey of sexual behaviour of Czechs and took about 90 minutes to complete, so only highly motivated people completed the survey. [35]
A 2013 report through national statistics of students of the last grade before high school, aged generally (86%) 13–15, found out 28.7% of them already had lost their virginity, with both demographics of 40.1% of boys and 18.3% of girls having reduced their rate since the last research, in 2009, that found the results as 30.5% overall, 43.7% ...
Different norms for boys and girls remain into the 20th century, as shown in a 1940s film of an outing for Scouts and Girl Guides in which boys to the age of about ten play nude, while older boys and all girls are dressed. [25] In a 1927 Swedish documentary about the benefits of swimming, there were three situations depicted.
Gender disguise has been used by women and girls to pass as male, and by men and boys to pass as female. Gender disguise has also been used as a plot device in storytelling, particularly in narrative ballads, [48] and is a recurring motif in literature, theater, and film. Historically, some women have cross-dressed to take up male-dominated or ...
