There are other reasons. Spartans and modern Israeli elite soldiers (at least so I've been told by a Jew who claims knowledge) were encouraged to engage in homosexual behavior because celibacy was bad for focus. Another reason would be an irrational fear of women-- they might give you a hard-on right up until you actually had to have sex with one, and then insecurities could sabatoge your efforts. Another reason would be pure access: for example in prison. Another would be sexual dominance-- like a gang leader showing some new punk who's really boss.

I'm talking about doing it and *enjoying* it like a heterosexual enjoys sex with the other gender. These are your everyday homosexuals, unlike a gang leader showing up the new punk...
