Sexuality is partiallyc onstructed in the sense that in some societies promiscuity is condoned, and others is not; ti is also constructed as far as in some societies boy fucking is considered proper and fine, but i others it is not.
But even in Greek and Afghani cutlure, which had/have rich heritage in boy-fucking, literal homosexuality between man and man, not man and boy, is forbidden and punishable by ddeat in afghanistan and was punishable with forfeiture of all citizenship in Greece.
Facts are facts, and as a pink flamingo I only adhere to facts.
