Okay, so an Alp reaults when a man wants to be a woman or is homosexual on some level. What about if he isn't by the standards of his own culture but behaves in a way that makes him look like he is to others? For example, I read about this one tribe a few years back that believes boys must have their, for want of a better term, pumps primed by an adult male member of the tribe or they will suffer impotence later in life. They do not consider this ti be homosexual behavior, and have no attraction to the boys -- it's seen as a distasteful but necessary duty. As another example, some Arab subcultures see some types of homosexuality as not being homosexual at all -- simply a man who is so incredibly masculine and dominant that he can't help dominating other men. Yes, dominating them 'that' way. Often dominating boys that way as well. The man in question does it to establish dominance rather than to express attraction -- much like the way violent rape in real life (not rape fantasy) is more about dominance than sex. Neither wants to be a woman, neither is attracted to men. Would they end up as Alp or Incubus in MGE? (this thought-provoking screw-with-your-mind moment brought to you courtesy of me, heheh)
