There is so little in the Torah about gays. It takes greater minds than mine to sort it out, but the fact that there isn’t a lot about it probably says a great deal.

I think it’s not frowned upon with women because it’s common for women to live together without a man in the house more often than two men living together, but I’m not quite clear on that either.

Hehe.

I would offer another analysis: old-school, traditional men were so obsessed with their anatomy that they literally couldn’t imagine a woman would/could seek pleasure elsewhere…

Also, sex between men is seen as “feminizing,” which is a definite taboo for a patriarchal desert nomadic clan.
