However, particular sexual activities (such as receptive anal sex in some cultures, or oral sex in others) were disapproved of, even as other aspects were admired. Lesbian, however, always denotes female homosexuality. In a narrow sense, gay refers to male homosexuality, but it often is used in its broadest sense, especially in media headlines and reports, to refer to any single-sex context (such as an all-girls' school), today the term is used exclusively in reference to sexual attraction and activity. The first known appearance of homosexual in print is found in an 1869 German pamphlet by the Austrian-born novelist Karl-Maria Kertbeny, published anonymously. Homosexual behavior occurs among numerous animals other than humans, particularly among social animals. The adjectival form literally means "same sex", being a hybrid formed from the Greek prefix homo- ("same"), and the Latin.
