::::I think the percentage is less in the communities I cited. Plus, I do know there are ex-homosexuals. Lastly, although I am about to send off an email as a courtesy to you, my focus in my free time for the foreseeable future is not going to be on aberrant lifestyle of homosexuality so please do not expect lengthy discussions from me. If you want to debate the issue of homosexuality perhaps [[User: Daniel1212]] or [[User: Ed Poor]] may wish to accommodate you. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 01:05, 26 October 2011 (EDT)

=== Reply received from Dr. Whitehead ===
Here is a reply I received: Thanks very much for your comments. I read the book and took notes about 25 years ago and don't now have a copy. Local universities do,and I will check your point which I'm sure I'll find correct. I must have missed that point. I welcome corrections, since I want to progressively polish the text, and plan to incorporate a correction when that chapter next appears on the web.
It is of course always a difficulty whether actual percentages in societies can be ever measured with complete accuracy, particularly cross-culturally. That is why I preferred to concentrate on the point that there is huge variety in cultural sexual expression, and contrast that with the remarkable uniformity of the genetic estimates which are directly measured. Culture is a peculiar beast. Neil Whitehead
If he finds he made a mistake, I will cite the updated material on his website. I should hear back from him fairly soon. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 05:44, 31 October 2011 (EDT)
