Gay Marriage Among Pirates

Sailors at sea have always been prone to what sociologists call “situational homosexuality.” All-male crews, at sea for weeks or months, cut off from the rest of humanity, turned to each other for sexual release. Pirates, most specifically the pirates active in the Caribbean beginning in the 1600’s, had formalized unions between consenting adult men.
The term used for this was matelotage a French word with the meaning of “seamanship” stemming from the word matelot which meant “seaman” or “sailor.” The French government showed concern for their sailors turning to a homosexual lifestyle, so much so that in 1645 the French governor of Tortuga requested hundreds of prostitutes be shipped to the New World to lure the sailors out of each other’s arms.

Terd Ferguson can tell you about it when he was in the submarines in the navy. What goes on underwater stays underwater

I definitely know I ain't gay then.

So this is probably where the phrase "polishing each other's swords" comes from.

In the British Navy, there was a huge difference between private homosexuality on land and sex at sea. Sex at sea could be a death sentence .
Also, somewhat related and I may have a post that goes in more depth into this in the future, but for as reputedly homosexual the Greeks were, anal sex was a huge huge huge no no with males or females.... unless they were a slave.

I'd rather fap the rest of my life than corn hole a dude.
I've gone months without sex before and never thought about fricking one of my buddies.
They were gay or bi already.

Anyone who volunteered to ram the cannon was considered suspect.

Man, I'd bet those were some fricking nasty bastards...throw in some anus and tapping you really have a funky smelling situation.
