When a man takes on the man's role, it's—convenience, sometimes, I've found. He shuts his eyes and pretends it's a woman he's doing it to. The act is against God; the desire isn't.
[ Or so such a man believes—making it nearly the truth, so far. Hickey's known men who tell themselves those sorts of things, even if he doesn't understand it, personally speaking; he lies with men because he likes men, in any configuration. ]
Even for some of those men, I've found, it's unimaginable that any man could take his pleasure in the reverse. If you can't imagine that, given the...variety of my experiences, I fear that you won't be able to understand what needs to be mended.
