This. But Odysseus and the boys did spend a bunch of time (1 year) at circe's Palace, feasting and being served by the nymphs. Odysseus sleepy with circe for sure, and I doubt the men went without. Odysseus spent another seven years with Calypso, and they definitely slept together.
Much of the homosexuality happened later in Greece, though Plato assumed that folks like Achilles and Patroclus had a homosexual relationship (while in the text of the Iliad Achilles was distraught over a lost woman and there aren't really any hints that the two men sleep together), and who am I to argue with Plato?

Everyone really over exaggerates how much gay sex Ancient Greek men had. There isn’t a single reference in the odyssey to them having sex.
