'''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 at a [[boarding school]] but most frequently it is used to describe sexual behavior in prison ([[situational homosexuality]]).  It may also be used to describe a married man who engages in extramarital sexual encounters with other men  or intramarital  same-sex group sexual encounters (threesome) and other similar sexual behavior where two males are involved. The same-sex physical activity may be engaged in only for sexual pleasure or for power, or control and without having any emotional connection or only having a superficial emotional connection to their sexual partner. Facultative homosexuality differs from homosexuality and bisexuality and other sexual orientations in that the person involved lacks the emotional capacity to form same-sex attachments. In other words, it is simply for sexual gratification and sexual release and therefore a man who engages in facultative homosexuality while in prison, once released, would typically return to his more normative sexual practices.
