A lot of people don't know this, but most knights were homosexual.
Samurai's were gay pedo's.
"From religious circles, same-sex love spread to the warrior (
samurai) class. Where it was customary for a boy in the
wakashū age category to undergo training in the martial arts by apprenticing to a more experienced adult man, according to Furukawa the relationship was based on the typically older
nenja, who loves, and the typically younger
chigo, who is loved.
[1] The man was permitted, if the boy agreed, to take the boy as his lover until he came of age; this relationship, often formalized in a "brotherhood contract"
[4], was expected to be exclusive, with both partners swearing to take no other (male) lovers.
This practice, along with clerical pederasty, developed into the codified system of age-structured homosexuality known as
shudō, abbreviated from
wakashūdō, the "way (
Tao) of
wakashū"
[6]. The older partner, in the role of
nenja, would teach the
chigo martial skills, warrior etiquette, and the samurai code of honor, while his desire to be a good role model for his
chigo would lead him to behave more honorably himself; thus a
shudō relationship was considered to have a "mutually ennobling effect"
[6]. In addition, both parties were expected to be loyal unto death, and to assist the other both in feudal duties and in honor-driven obligations such as duels and vendettas. Although sex between the couple was expected to end when the boy came of age, the relationship would, ideally, develop into a lifelong bond of friendship. At the same time, sexual activity with women was not barred (for either party), and once the boy came of age, both were free to seek other
wakashū lovers."
