'''Facultative Homosexuality''' describes a man or boy who lies more towards the heterosexual side of [[Alfred_Kinsey#Kinsey_scale|the sexual continuum]]. A person who is predominantly heterosexual but who does have some same-sex desire and who engages in [[homosexual]] sex, typically while in a sex-segregated, all male community such as the priesthood, a boy in [[boarding school]] but most frequently it is used to describe sexual behavior in prison. It may also be used to describe a person who engages in extra marital or intramarital  same-sex sexual encounters. The same-sex physical activity may be engaged in only for sexual pleasure, power, or control, or in situations where there are no members of the opposite sex and without having any emotional connection or only having a superficial emotional connection to their sexual partner.
