In the movie? Again, its been about 25 years since I read it. I do recall a passage describing his revulsion at the practices of sailors during that period.

Funny, I don't recall Melville bringing up the subject in either Moby Dick or White Jacket.

Okay, Clavell's from a different period and that novel was from a different period too.

The scene was just after he arrived and the woman love interest of the series had just informed Pilot that the girls next to him were his to enjoy. He said politely no thank you. The ghesha love interst looked shocked and embarasssed asked "if you would prefer a boy...", whereupon Pilot looks in horror to her and proclaims he is not a god damned soddomite.
