My research indicates historically, fallen man is omnisexual. Ancient  
documents seemed to assume a fellow would be having sex with whatever  
struck his fancy. It appears often it was a mix of lust and power. About  
the only thing many cultures didn't favor was men having sex as equals.  
There was plenty of that at times, but the broad consensus I believe was  
no one important would do that, no "real man" was that way. It's only in  
recent times historically that we see the modern obsession with a clear  
distinction between homosexuals and heterosexuals.

Of course, Scripture makes it clear man should find his release in only  
one place, his covenant marriage bed. The Law of Moses was quite a  
promotion for the wives from previous pagan views, and a radical restraint  
on men.

Makes no difference what your inborn desires are. Like all men born in  
sin, if I did what came natural, I'd be in a world of hurt. For example,  
it's quite natural to soil your shorts. There is a standard, it is known,  
sin has no excuse.
