Regarding the subject of sexual abuse in childhood and the development of homosexual behavior later on there does not seem to be much, or any, evidence in the literature. What Freud discovered in practically all the homosexuals he analysed was the presence of a very strong Oedipus complex. This was corroborated by other analysts too. While it may be fashionable today to deride his theories, there is no doubt that most psycoanalysts today assert that there is a very strong evidence of some arrested psychological development in very early life. Of course, the newer theories of there being a "gay' gene, the hippocampus of gays being larger than that of straights are there too. But, again these require furthur corroboboration. But, there is hardly any evidence to corelate sexual abuse with homosexuality. a.

This may be a mere co-incidental correlation. But there may be a causal relationship. Why I suggest that there may be a causal relationship? Because all children do not allow themselves to be used as a sexual partner. Some children allow older boys, even man, to engage them sexually. In my assessment this category of boys later become homosexual affinity. So, we can put the facts in an order as follows: First of all, there is a certain class of young boys (may be also girls) who are vulnerable to sexual approach. Secondly, some of these boys really are approached and grow up with childhood sexual experience. Thirdly, these boy, when they grow up, show homosexual attraction.
