It's that saying, if it's on the internet, then it's true!
Jokes aside, it is a fact that the web is full of bizarre scientific studies, but one developed by researchers at the University of Toronto, Canada, caught attention.
According to the study, the preference for being passive during sex can be determined by biological factors. To obtain the result, more than 240 gay men were interviewed, asking questions regarding their sexual preferences.
The researchers also asked interviewees about family issues, whether they were right-handed or left-handed and how much they conformed to their gender during childhood. The end result showed that passive gays are more likely to not conform to gender stereotypes, are generally left-handed and are not the oldest in the family.
The study also pointed out that the cliché regarding appearance may have certain traces of truth: active gay men tend to have more masculine mannerisms, while passive ones are more feminine, according to the study.
For the University's assistant professor, Vander Laan, preferences in the bedroom are more complex than issues relating to being left-handed or not, for example.
