while there was tons of homoeroticism (it was completely common for commanders to find favorites in the prettiest youths under their command), homosexuality was quite rare.
I agree that this type of loving male friendship is no longer a really accepted social format. I think it's quite sad. My twinbro and his three closest friends do the victorial male beloved thing quite well, and it's almost entirely non-sexual. Theirloveissoplatonic!
Of course, as my baby brother Twinbro is completely asexual anyway. Shut up. He is.
