There were Male Shrine Prostitutes in the OT book of Kings, that practice was old in Paul’s time. Many dismiss the idea based what seem to be personal or sociological reasons, not archaeological ones.
The truth is, the Old Testament and New Testaments say next to nothing and sexual orientation is a relatively new concept.
I am not a Jewish man. I’m am not under any part of the Law for my righteousness. To place myself under the Law for my righteous standing with God would be to put myself under the curse of the Law listed in Dt 28.
No. Rape is violence, not sex. The story is about kidnapping into slavery and the abuse of strangers.

No one knows.
Those women were shunned, shamed, casted out and abandoned. The man had all the power and Jesus dared to challenge that. Even His disciples were astounded.
Why can’t some Christians?
Try to break free from the shackles of it and you will find yourself outside the fold Pastor.
In Romans chapter 1, verses 26–27 are cherry-picked out of the context which starts in verse 18. The context is Idolatry.
