Well think about pirate story's every ship had a cabin boy, that was the Captains RIGHT of Privilege to have a cabin boy to keep him warm at night, the general reasoning was that little boys didn't get pregnant. That child birth aboard a ship was messy, that the boy had a longer shelf life, with no menstruation.
The point is this stuff was a legitimate NAVAL practice for 100's of years, and still common in Arab world. Hell the greeks said love between man & woman was impossible, that true love only happens between men, and that women were only created to be cows to breed.
