Oh I agree totally. I suppose I was refering to Western culture when I pointed out laxer attitudes to AIDS. And it applies to the hetrosexual community just as much.
I think a lot of the problem in Africa is due to education. If abstinence only is being pushed then it's no wonder there's trouble.

Actually, openly gay men are more likely to be raped than rape because the other prisoners see them as weak. Your assertion that it is a homosexual prisoner doing the rape underestimates the ability of the heterosexual man to find alternative means of sexual satisfaction when his prefered means is unavailable. |

Where did you get that from? Prison is a situation that causes what is sometimes referred to as "situtional homosexuality." The reason men have sex with other men is not because they have an innate attraction to other men, but because there is simply no one else around to have sex with. It is, in most cases, heterosexual prisoners (men who are sexually attracted to women) who force themselves on other prisoners, not gay prisoners.
Let's face it, men can be satisfied by many things of the same approximate size and shape. If they are cut off enough from access to their preferred sexual object, they will choose another, even if that means forcing themselves onto another man. But, that doesn't make someone gay, anymore than someone who was stranded on a desert island and didn't have sex with anyone would become asexual. |

And poverty. If one lives in a world of miserable poverty, then sex is one of the few cheap pleasures.
