#2 It is weoirfder than that: Lawrence claimed urbi et orbe to have been captured by the Turks (who didn't identify him) and raped by their commander but his companions adamantly denied the whole thing: he didn't fall into Turkish hands and wasn't raped.

Could have been a kind of masochistic streak who caused Lawrence to assert something who would shock his audience.

#4 Weren't contemporary men of Cleopatria non-arabs, since the islamic conquest of North Africa had not yet occurred? I'm not sure, but ancient egyptians had to be some kind of berbers, amazighs, possibly greek or even celtic offshoots,... IE meditteranean, but not arab?
I'm nitpicking, I know, you're probably right in your assessment of Lawrence ass-banditry.

#5 about his homo cluster fucks with his arabo-male companions behind the dunes--he had sex with more arab men than cleopatra

There is a problem: his tendencies were of a "female" homosexual and I doubt Arabs would have repected, obeyed or even paid attention to one. As I said, there are serious doubts about his assertion that he was raped by a Turkish officer.

I think that he discovered his real tendencies: homosexuality+masochism after the war and that in his book he lied when situating it during the war. Until he disovered his tendencies Lawrence seems to have believed his lack of desires for women was due to him being an iron man able to placate his impulsions and too strong for falling in women's nets.
