I don't find it "normal" for men to have a family, certainly not biologically normal. Norms within Western society has perhaps created that
defacto standard of acceptable male behavior, but biologically it is abnormal for most species to be monogomous. The decision to procreate is far
different than the western notion of family with the male living with his offspring and their mother, helping with the housework, running little
Johnny over to soccer and the rest of the business that informs the predominate notion male behavior within western society.
Does that make me anti-family? No. The modern notion of family has enormous benefits to society. It is however restrictive relative to male sexual
desires, in my opinion.
As it pertains to normal male behavior and sexual desires, the way our society has evolved and suppressed men, gay men have a more biologically honest
sex life, at least in terms of frequency and variety than do today's married heterosexual males. In that context you could easily suggest that gay
men are more "male" than heterosexual men.
