Only a degenerate modern would think chastity is unthinkable.
Not that it is even correct that Jesus “hung around” with “12 males.” His followers always included women, some of whom, e.g. Mary Magdalene was LITERALLY given the title equal-to-the-apostles.
That is lunacy, which is refuted by ALL HUMAN HISTORY.
Instead of recognizing EROS as one kind of love—and a very dangerous and volatile one—moderns think all love is a subclass of EROS.
Or flatten it to “love is love."
It is too weak a word. The phenomenon is one of LOVE and can be as deep and profound as conjugal love between a husband and wife.
But to SEXUALIZE it is to deeply corrupt it.
