I suppose I wasnt clear...What i was trying to describe that in some tough cultures, men blighted with mental illness from their teens, were not until recently understood, and usually seen as deficient, or weak and so the idea is re-enforced they are not manly and too oversensitive.

Over a period of time this creates someone with no self image of themselves as what it is to be male, and this makes them unattractive to women. The act of sex itself raised testosterone levels, so along with the depression testosterone is'nt getting a look in.

Also theres another way in which depression reduces testosterone levels socially.

By being seen as a liablity and so left out of competition within male situations the depressed young male won't get an everyday level of stimulation required to produce testosterone on a regular basis.

Depression within this context is going to result in fewer opportunites for testosterone boosting activities. Eventually the behaviour of the person is commented on within Scottish Culture as "wimpish" or "Gay".

The Person takes their reference from this, and by already feeling beaten and not up to scratch with other men, takes on a subserviant role. He becomes the one who is eager to please. All that is needed now is for an experienced Gay man to come along finish the job.

I think i've seen this happen many times. I dont believe all homosexuals really are gay in sense of being the type who develop Female brain connections in the Anterior Comissure.
