The Avuncular Function: a possible explanation for homosexuality and other paraphilias

Homosexuality is a perversion because it’s not reproductive.  That in itself is not a commentary on whether or not it is natural, which I don’t consider a practically useful avenue of inquiry anyway.  One could point to other non-reproductive familial relationships, such as mother and son and brother and sister, but the point of those relationships isn’t to divert somebody from reproduction and family life – they reinforce family life and reproductive imperatives and are epi-reproductive.  Of course, somebody could be a homosexual and reproductive at the same time – that’s perfectly obvious – but my point is equally obvious: that encouragement of such relationships diminishes family life and weakens whites genetically and epigenetically.  It doesn’t follow from this that I think nobody should be allowed to be homosexual - clearly that would be an unrealistic view, and in private, people can have whatever relationships they like – but what I object to is encouragement of certain types of relationships and interactions, brief or permanent, that damage us.  

By normalising homosexuality, we influence young people into it and other sexual perversions.  One may say that, from a Darwinian point of view, that’s a good thing: let the unfit die out, as this strengthens the race in the long run.  I take the point, but disagree on the basis of an important caveat to the applicability of Darwinian laws among humans: an impressionable young person who falls for the orthodoxy is not necessarily unfit, just immature.  Moreover, some of our most intelligent young people will be the ones who fall for it because the more intelligent tend to be more susceptible to brainwashing in their younger years, due to their tendency to absorb information efficiently at a pre-critical stage of their lives.  (This habit of information-absorption often doesn’t leave them in adulthood due to its pay-offs, which may also explain why left-liberal people are often more intelligent than conservatives).

Anecdotally, I have noticed that homosexual, bisexual and transgender men, etc. tend to be quite intelligent and often intellectual, and it would not surprise me if there is some formal study that reveals a positive correlation between sexual perversion and IQ.  This leads me to ponder whether homosexuality serves some sort of evolutionary purpose (a perversion can also be natural).  An important caveat to this is that to speak of ‘purpose’ in evolution, even in the evolution of meta-conscious species like humans, is possibly clumsy.  We tend to think of evolution as non-teleological and not meta-conscious, and mostly it is.  But I would link homosexuality to what I call the Avuncular Function.

What I mean by the Avuncular Function is that certain men within a given primitive community followed a slightly different evolutionary trajectory from the norm.  Men who were highly intelligent may have bred at a significantly diminished rate or not at all, instead performing a masculine version of the female nurturing role despite being sexually normal - in particular, they may have had an important mentoring influence on the maturation of adolescent boys.  My working theory is that homosexuality and bisexuality and other paraphilias are a perverted off-shoot of Avuncular Man and an epigenetic consequence of, first, civilisation and urbanisation, then industrialisation and the financialisation of capital.
