You think a country that had rulers with dozens or hundreds of concubines, and eunuchs minding them and many men with up to 4 wives, there weren’t plenty of people seeking pleasure in any possible combination. The first link below is a rather idealized view written from a middle east/Muslim Indian perspective. The second one is written from a strong Christian perspective. The third is a whole scholarly book on the subject.

Oh, I did't say they didn't have every perversion in the book, I'm saying they were given an impossible choice. Those alternative lifestyles are kept on the down low in an Islamic society. I've seen first hand their "compounds" where females are given the choice of prison or to be a prostitute. There were probably some sections catering to the gay or trans lifestyle even back then that I didn't see but again; this is kept out of the public's eye. If there were any gay people in Turkey while I was there; I never saw them that I knew of.
