Homosexual behavior occurs among numerous animals other than humans, particularly among social animals. Many modern style guides recommend against using homosexual as a noun, instead using gay man or lesbian. Richard von Krafft-Ebing's 1886 book Psychopathia Sexualis elaborated on the concept. Generally, and most famously in ancient Greece, erotic attraction and sexual pleasure between males has been an ingrained, accepted part of the cultural norm. Homosexuality has been a feature of human culture since earliest history (see History section below). Karl-Maria Kertbeny coined the term homosexual in 1869 in a pamphlet arguing against a Prussian anti-sodomy law. 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 homosexuality in general. Other terms include men who have sex with men or MSM.
