Dr. Michael Heller's medical journal article in the ''Annals of Emergency Medicine'' entitled ''The Gay Bowel Syndrome: A Common Problem of Homosexual Patients in the Emergency'' states regarding gay bowel syndrome the following: "Frequently and promiscuity of sexual intercourse is probably a major risk factor. Gay men in this country have both higher rates of intercourse and many more sexual partners than do either straight men or gay women."<ref>Annals of Emergency Medicine 1980 Sep;9(9), page 488</ref>

In 1985, the ''Medical Journal of Malaysia'' indicated in a journal entitled ''Gay men bowel syndrome: A report of parasitic infection in homosexual patients'':
{{Cquote|In recent years, a variety of colorectal disorders have been recognised among male homosexuals. In this report, the term homosexual behaviour is defined as any sexual relationship including orogenital, proctogenital or analingual sex between two or more males.
A wide variety of intestinal parasites have been recovered from stools of homosexuals. Amoebiasis has been reported as a common cause of diarrhoea in homosexuals. Its aetiologic agent, Entamoeba histotytics, is frequently found to be the cause of diarrhoea and crampy abdominal pain in travellers who have returned from areas where sanitary conditions are poor."<ref>[http://www.e-mjm.org/1985/v40n4/gay-men-bowel-syndrome.pdf ''Gay men bowel syndrome: A report of parasitic infection in homosexual patients'' Med.
