homoerotics (was Re: Tibet)

[Christopher Rhoades Dÿkema]

I wonder about this. Doesn't this sound more like the men who, in
prison, make sure they aggressively penetrate other men rather than be
penetrated because at least, in the absence of women, they thereby avoid
the passive feminine rôle? Once out of prison, of course, they wouldn't
be caught dead having any homoerotic experiences.
