Sex-role preference is an important neglected variable in statistically controlled studies of homosexual behavior. This variable must accompany controls for degree of psychopathology of respondents and degree of heterosexual and homosexual behavior experienced by respondents. Cross-cultural differences exist. Mexican males have rigidly defined insertor-insertee roles, with earlier life events serving as predictors of these sex-role preferences. Greece is comparable to Mexico. In Turkey, stigmatization accompanies passive homosexuality. Role playing may be age graded, as in the Southwest Pacific. In lower socioeconomic classes of the United States, sex roles for homosexual males are more stereo-typically and unequivocably defined. Chicanos generally have strong sex-role preferences when involved in homosexual encounters; their attitude is similar to that found in Mexico. Among middle-class Anglo-American males, few or no sex-role feelings are associated with types of sex acts by most homosexually behaving males. This may be related to a focus on oral-genital rather than anal sex acts. The sharply dichotomized gender roles and the cultural formulation linking effeminacy and homosexuality appear to provide the necessary conditions for the development of sex-role preferences in many societies.
在对同性恋行为进行统计控制的研究中，性别角色偏好是一个重要但被忽视的变量。这个变量必须与对受访者心理病理学程度以及受访者经历的异性恋和同性恋行为程度的控制同时存在。存在跨文化差异。墨西哥男性对插入者和被插入者的角色有严格定义，早期生活事件可作为这些性别角色偏好的预测指标。希腊与墨西哥情况类似。在土耳其，被动同性恋会伴随着污名化。角色扮演可能会根据年龄分级，如在西南太平洋地区。在美国社会经济地位较低的阶层中，同性恋男性的性别角色定义更为刻板和明确。墨西哥裔美国人在进行同性恋接触时通常有强烈的性别角色偏好；他们的态度与在墨西哥发现的态度相似。在中产阶级英裔美国男性中，大多数有同性恋行为的男性的性行为类型很少或几乎没有性别角色情感与之相关。这可能与关注口交而非肛交行为有关。在许多社会中，鲜明的二元性别角色以及将娘娘腔与同性恋联系起来的文化表述似乎为性别角色偏好的发展提供了必要条件。
