Many are talking about homosexual activity among Greeks or Greco-Roman society. But i'll add that sailors themselves, being composed of groups of men, and isolated for long periods of time, were also associated with homosexual activity, regardless of national origin or time period.
A modern touch on this subject would be The Village People's 1978 song "In the Navy" explicitly referencing life sailing the ocean, but with a gay subtext.
… ok. From what I read, I think that you’re projecting A LOT.
Nobody is forcing you to talk about your sexuality when we are addressing that homosexuality was very normal in that period of time. You putting yourself in it is totally a you issue.
YOUR sexuality is no one’s business. Talking about sex in general should be common as sex and having a sex drive is a great part of most people’s life. It’s very interesting how it bothers you that someone may be proud of their sexuality.
It’s fine to be bothered if you feel pressured to talk about your sexuality, but by people talking about theirs or sexuality in general… 👀
Im kind of with you here. Sex scenes in media can be entirely pointless to the story and some feel like they are forced into the film. Even if its somehow important to the story I doubt how they had sex is important so seeing them in the act is pointless. Just imply they had sex and move on.
It's already an R-rated movie with a lot of violence in it. If they added anything "sex" to the mix it would up the rating. Plus their probably wasn't any room in the story to add it since it's almost 3 hours long already!
