condemnations of (male) masturbation -- particularly from the
religious right -- claim that it is indeed either itself a form of
homosexuality or else that it is a "gateway drug" leading to homosexuality.

Many years ago, a straight acquaintance of mine said to me.
"You know, I **love** my cock. When I'm enjoying my own penis,
I can **almost** get what it is that gay guys like about having
sex with other guys. (I didn't try to explain to him that being gay
usually involves more than just a fascination with another guy's dick,
that it's more often an attraction to a whole person, including an
element of emotional attachment, or even romantic love.)

If you isolate sexuality as something solely for one's own personal amusement, and all you want is the most satisfying orgasm you can get – and that is what homosexuality seems to be – then homosexuality seems too powerful to resist. The evidence is that men do a better job on men and women on women, if all you are looking for is orgasm… It's pure sexuality. It's almost like pure heroin. It's such a rush… Marital sex tends toward the boring end. Generally, it doesn't deliver the kind of sheer sexual pleasure that homosexual sex does.
