Does it matter if a woman, or a guy, ugly or hot is licking your genital? Lets see..if you don't have any visual contact, and are not allowed to touch, and someone is sexually stimulating you..what will happen? Will you come?
This is one of those questions that really fucks people up. I used to ask it of guys: "If you had the best blowjob of your life, say at a masquerade party or something, and then found out you got it from a guy?"
Absolutely fucks up some people.
But that's the thing. So let's say it happens. Someone gets the best sexual satisfaction of their life, and then finds out it was a homosexual act. Now, some folks will actually stop to think about what that means. Others will simply panic. And for those, relationships aren't invested in love and trust and all that good stuff people extol; rather, they are invested in pride.
If something rewarding takes me out of image, skews my character, and causes me to change? Hell, I'll adapt. I think it's absolutely tragic that some people hide in the closet because they're supposed to be ashamed—
especially ashamed, even more so than everyone else—of how God made them. Fat people can't pretend to be thin. Black people can't pretend to be white. But gays can certainly pretend to be straight.
I can't imagine saying to myself, "That was great! Now, how do I make sure it never happens again and nobody ever finds out it happened at all?"
To the other—and I'll have to go fish for statistics—I've encountered numbers suggesting that up to a third of gay male couples don't engage in anal sex.
Must mean they hate men. You know, since a guy's asshole doesn't turn them on.
Or something like that. It's one of those things that
seems relevant, although I haven't figured the tie-in yet.

As is heterosexuality. Either could choose celibacy.

Hapsburg said:
The Gospels, highly biased accounts despite being written some time in the late First Century, make no mention of any sexual life. So, the only logical conclusion from the accounts of his life is that he was celibate.
A political outcome. The four canonical gospels are a political outcome.
As for the Wisdom who is called "the barren," she is the mother of the angels. And the companion of the [...] Mary Magdalene. [...] loved her more than all the disciples, and used to kiss her often on her mouth. The rest of the disciples [...]. They said to him "Why do you love her more than all of us?" The Savior answered and said to them,"Why do I not love you like her? When a blind man and one who sees are both together in darkness, they are no different from one another. When the light comes, then he who sees will see the light, and he who is blind will remain in darkness."
(The Gospel of Phillip)
