"if a teen is "gay" it means he is sexually active with many men."
No, if a (male) teen is "gay," it means he is romantically and sexually attracted to males, and may or may not be sexually active. Virtually everybody has a sexual orientation before ever engaging in sex -- didn't you, or were you just experimenting?
"If you are straight, you are not promiscuous."
Whew! That's a relief! Otherwise, we'd have real societal problems like unintended pregancies, abortions, and STDs among straight people. Fortunately for society, straight people aren't promiscuous...
"Notice no one mentions this in the story?"
Perhaps because it's patently ridiculous?

Men love for a variety of different reasons. But men do not have sex with everyone they love. Healthy men love both men and women, but control their sexual urges. In a healthy society, they have sex only with their wives.
Boys have fantasies. In normal development, they will be guided not to give in to their fantasies, but to channel their thoughts into constructive patterns. Some people don't develop normally and their fantasies rule their lives. (Not all of those are homosexual.)
Homosexuality is not a constructive pattern, and boys should be discouraged from channeling their thoughts in that direction.
Shalom.
