Logic Died Last Night (After a Short Illness)

"like the one [love] you got for you" -  yes, love of the self is real. But we are taught from childhood that selfishness (beyond a certain point) is bad. Concern for others is part of what's called "the social contract." And since same-sex erotic love focuses on the same (type of) organ that you yourself have, it is considered self centric, selfishness epitomized -sexual narcissism,even. Likewise, because the opposite sex (the genitalia) is not a copy of that of the self, heterosexuality is deemed less self-centered, and therefore more pro-social. More in line with the social contract, even altruistic.  Does that make sense?

I understand your inference... But I can't say I necessarily agree with it. There is a measure of narcissism in any sexual relationship, I think (though I've taken it to an exaggerated degree, here). I would tend dismiss orientation as contributing to any significant difference... It depends (again, in my unlettered opinion) on the personalities of the individuals involved. ;)

Well, this one made me chuckle a little. The relationship between the two characters is fun to consider, and I can put a face or two to 'him'. Though, the last line had me picturing him putting his clothes on, then getting out of the bed. I liked the fly-on-the-wall feeling of this vignette.

Ha ha... Yes, the last line does present an unfortunate "cart before the horse" quality. Whenever such problematical situations come up, I simply invoke the right of poetic license. :D
