Research
Bogaert is known for studying multiple subjects related to human sexuality, including asexuality.[1][2] He has also published studies examining the relationship between the number of brothers a man has and his sexual orientation. These studies have concluded that the more older brothers a man has, the more likely he is to be gay, and that this effect is due to prenatal factors, not environmental ones.[3][4][5][6]
