KJV 1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, "abusers of themselves with mankind," = G733 ἀρσενοκοίτης arsenokoitēs ar-sen-ok-oy'-tace From G730 and G2845; a sodomite: - abuser of (that defile) self with mankind.

To: uptoolate; traumer
More precisely:

ἀρσενοκοίτης (arsenokoitēs 733; nominative plural masculine)
1. abusers of themselves with mankind
(from ἄρσης (arsēs), a male; and κοίτη (koitē 2845), a bed).
Reference(s)
1Co 6:9

2. defile one's self with mankind
(from ἄρσην (arsēn) a male, and κοίτη (koitē 2845) a bed) (this specific meaning occurs only in 1Co 6:9).
Reference(s)
1Ti 1:10

Arsenokoitēs is literally translated at least 2 males (since it is masculine plural) and a bed; more precisely a marriage bed (see below).

Koitē (a bed; noun feminine) - lying; a place of repose, bed, especially the marriage bed.

Koitē is found also in Romans 9:10 (10οὐ μό.νον δέ, ἀλ.λὰ καὶ Ῥε.βέκ.κα ἐξ ἑ.νὸς κοί.την ἔ.χου.σα, Ἰ.σα.ὰκ τοῦ πατ.ρὸς ἡ.μῶν) "And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;" It is a sexual term. Koite is the Greek root from which we get the English Coitus. So literally 1 Cor. 6:9 is 2 men sharing a marriage bed engaged in sexual relations. Clear as a bell. Translators are quite right.

So is this nutball going to stand before God now and accuse HIM of causing 'mental anguish'???? My guess is Hell is full of peeps suffering mental anguish, so now is the day to repent instead of issuing lawsuits.
