Yup. That’s the ancient Greco-Roman and modern prison view. The “pitcher” is no less a man, the “catcher” is a boy or a sissy. They didn’t conceive of “sexual orientation” in the ancient world.
I read something about Saudi Arabia. The article was called “Kingdom in the closet”. Basically it says they have a ton of gay sex cause it’s just much easier to get because women pretty much aren’t allowed to walk around and interact with men. Vile culture. Sounds like the worst country on Earth.
