The EMIS 2010 Project (The European Men-Who-Have-Sex-With-Men Internet Survey) was the largest transnational survey among MSM ever conducted – in terms of the number of participants, the number of countries covered by the survey, and the number of different language versions of the survey. According to the published report: “Among all EMIS respondents, 38.6% indicated that they were not happy with their sex life, suggesting that sexual unhappiness is very common among MSM.” Even in ultra permissive France, 27.8% of respondents were unhappy with their homosexuality. “Two of the top three reasons for sexual unhappiness concern establishing and maintaining steady sexual relationships.” This dissatisfaction with the gay lifestyle goes part and parcel with the restless and transitory nature of male homosexual pairings that tend vastly towards the incidental and the highly casual. For instance, 67% of the respondents reported having sex with a non-steady partner over the past 12 months; in addition, 74% of those hook-ups included anal sex. “The main reasons men were unhappy with their sex lives related to steady partners, wanting but not having a steady relationship and the challenges of maintaining one.” Yet, despite this, there still exists a sort of schizophrenic temperament in male homosexuals as they also reported a desire for “open relationships” as well as “polygamous relationships.” Therefore, there is an innate realization that status quo homosexuality does not work, but also an inescapable need for sexual satisfaction that is not conducive to a traditional relationship vis-à-vis a gay version of heterosexual marriage. This is the case because gay relationships lack the complimentary between the sexes: in male homosexuality, the over saturation of runaway testosterone results in a sexual promiscuity meltdown that eventually turns on itself - hence the rise of AIDS and the continuing high infection rate among young gay men.
