Hell, Hadrian was an out and out flamer. Built a city and named for his boyfriend who drowned. But nobody refers to an unnatural act of intercourse as “going Roman”.

True but Hadrianus never had his own male harum as near as I can tell.
Besides, sexual practices aside Hadrian was at least competent.

That's because the practice was never as accepted in the Roman west as it was in the Greek east. Those who participated were often the subjects of mockery.
