I assumed that that passage refer to homosexuality as well. This definitely shows that you do rightly divide the word of truth without bias. I swear some people who attack you assume you are homophobic but forget that "once were some of you" as Paul explain. I wished I took that class in college which helps you read the bible in Greek.

The results for what you have described with the reference scripture are very much alive and well today. Unfortunately, this has been a very fond part of my personal existence since childhood; for which has deeply affected me well into my adulthood. It is because of that that I have sought out those non-sexual "affections" among those I have befriended (15+ years my senior) throughout my adolescence and eventually, the church once I came of age. When further attention is focused on many of the common-place societal ills, nearly all of the offenders and victims involved have some degree of dysfunction, secondary to the absence of genuine love, care, affection and attention from the family. In essence, whatever you can't get at home, you get it elsewhere. Most aptly applied to wayward spouses, this also fits well into scenarios where children seek out those amentities among gangs, and shady people that would otherwise show feigned interest for the sake of gratifying one's own selfish desire. The results for these attention- and affection-starved people can certainly serve as a precursor for experimentation into homosexuality, as well as other activities that are inherently sinful.
