"In conclusion, I believe that the lack of a male role model has a lot to do with why a male (at any age) starts to have homoerotic thoughts and then carries these thoughts and resulting behaviors into adulthood. I also know that there are exceptions showing that other factors also can lead to a male becoming a boylover and/or gay man. Though, I think the lack of a male role model is one of the biggest factors." It is my belief, based on personal childhood observations of other boys, that most boys will engage in simple homosex-play with other boys. What seems to happen as these boys grow older is that the influence of their male role models "teaches" them to be entirely straight. I do not beleive the absence of a male role model makes anyone gay - but I do believe the presence of a male role model is what STRONGLY ENCOURAGES us to be entirely straight.
