"There's more to the question than that." Your question or Laurie's?

We haven't progressed much beyond the anecdotal.

I thought my comments clearly indicated the lack of simplicity and other questions. Why do the research Laurie refers to? I thought Laurie's question turned to the single issue of homosexuality and whether there is an increased incidence the more brothers within a family, and which of the brothers had the higher "risk" of being homosexual.

Homosexual activity and its relative (dis)approval would be irrelevant to that question. But if they somehow are part of the project, the results may be corrupted.

There are too many variables and probably insufficient participants methinks to get good results from such a study.

Instead are you asking about the degree and direction of the sex drive as the major force within some, all or most of us? The sexual activity must be either homosexual in nature or heterosexual??? How does the deliberately chaste fit into this?
