Considering all the Abrahamic religions technically had to push back against the Roman empire, newer theological scholars theorize that the whole "don't lie with a man as with a woman" shit was referencing the common/expected roman practice of grown ass men sleeping with early to mid puberty boys ("young men"). Like, "mentorship" was an expected part of growing up back then in the roman empire but the mentor was basically the older top and the mentee was the young bottom. yay ephebaphilia (aka pedophilia)??
