You know, we gay men are always being accused of being nothing but walking hard-ons, just promiscuous slutty wankers sleeping around all the time and up to know good. And a new study out of Liverpool suggests that we’re not the only whores on the block.
A team from Liverpool John Moores University claims that their review of paternal discrepencies over more than 50 years of data shows that one in 25 fathers is not the biological parent of their child.
The study takes into account lots of crap about paternity tests and DNA and the like, and it all suggests a 3.7% chance that you, Daddy, are not Daddy. So keep track of the mailman and the grocery delivery boy and that hunky gardener, gentlemen. Lord knows you can’t blame us gay boys for this one.
Around 10 percent is the usual figure for studies in which the participants volunteered to be part of a study for Tay-Sachs or Huntington’s or what have you. One assumes some women find a way to weasel out of such studies…
Stalag 17 has a wry joke about the way people handled these things when our fighting men were overseas for more than 9 months.
