It's a lonely life in the Navy. Outside prison or single-gender schools, probably the most well-known version of Situational Sexuality is in the naval service. For centuries, men would be left alone together on ships for weeks on endnote women weren't allowed to serve in the Navy until the late 20th century, and at least in the US, weren't allowed to serve in every position as the men (like in submarines) until the 2010s. Sexual needs and desires were still present, and that meant a lot of men turned to one another for comfort. This has led to sailors (or seamen of any stripe) becoming sex symbols among gay men. Definitely Truth in Television on occasion, and in fiction, a common subtrope of the Manly Gay and Straight Gay types. Pretty much Older Than Steam. Since homosexuality was stigmatized (and even illegal) until the 1960s, gay sailors knew they had to be discreet when talking about gay lovers. To keep their conversations off the radar, gay sailors spoke in Polari, a form of slang or cant. Examples of Polari include "bona", "drag", and "dish" (buttocks). An example of it in use is "so", which means "homosexual" (e.g. "Is he 'so'?"). A somewhat outdated trope nowadays, thanks to sailors having access to modern hardcore pornography, and modern ships not needing to spend as much time on open water. Plus, most military fetishists today lean towards the gritty and permastubbled look. Still, jokes about men in the Navy being friends of Dorothy persist in military culture. Many sailors, even the 100% straight ones, aren't above having fun with this perception. Regarding the page quote, note that the Royal Navy abolished the practice of flogging in 1948, and that rum rations were discontinued in 1970 (but were temporarily reintroduced in 1982 because of The Falklands War), so the modern Navy runs on sodomy, and sodomy alone. QED. |

The Simpsons: Used in an episode with the Sea Captain, where he was shown purchasing lots of pornography before a long voyage to keep himself and his men straight... for about five minutes. "Simpson Tide" had the Village People sing on the submarine with Smithers dancing along. "Homer's Phobia" has Homer reference this trope while on a homophobic rant, commenting how gay men "turned the Navy into a floating joke" among other things. |

Homosexuality in the Royal Navy was the subject of one episode of the Channel 4 parody news show Brass Eye. Sailors did ridiculous things like marching in pairs pressed right up against each other and devoting over 90% of their medical training to treating "penis wounds." It also showed footage of a naval officer fellating a gun. | |

The Naval Investigative Service (now NCIS) always had the reputation for being the most vigorous at rooting out suspected homosexuals of any of the branches before open service was allowed. In one particularly bizarre instance, NIS investigators encountered the phrase "friend of Dorothy". Unaware that this is slang for a gay man (a reference to Dorothy as played by Judy Garland) NIS launched a huge multi-state hunt for "Dorothy" and her massive network of homosexual contacts. | |

Monty Python's Flying Circus has its own parody on the subject, exchanging "homosexuality" for "cannibalism", and making countless of jokes of navy men casually eating one another, or discussing nonchalantly of who should get eaten. This comes right after a sketch with a letter from a member of the Royal Navy who is outraged that the show would demean Her Majesty's naval forces... that soon descended into describing the "perfect little buttocks" of the sailors, and Michael Palin saying, "And we can't show you the rest of that letter." A philosopher set to wrestle a bishop to settle the issue of the existence of God (who exists, by two falls and a submission) is described as having written a book with the trope name as its title. |

My Bride is a Mermaid: Jupiter is a mermaid soldier who attended military school with Akeno Shiranui, with whom she had a lesbian relationship. While Akeno insists it was just a phase and no longer reciprocates her feelings, Jupiter is still in love with her to the point of obsession. | |

In one episode of QI, Stephen Fry asks the question, "Do you know how they separate the men from the boys in the Navy?". Answer: with a crowbar. Giving Alan Davies an embarrassing buzzer is a Running Gag on the show. The trope title has been used for this purpose more than once. |

In Tradewinds: Legends, the burly Berber swordsman Hasan Tazere is a Straight Gay with occasional Camp Gay ("Does this tattoo complement my eyes?") and Manly Gay ("Visit meat market. Find bear.") concerns — and he's out! For instance, when he makes a particularly large deposit, the Banker is likely to ask if Hasan has met their son, and the other playable characters inquire if he's had any success searching for his... brother. | |

In Empowered, a whip-wielding villain introduces himself as by the name "Rum, Sodomy and The Lash". He explains that previously he was simply "The Lash" — part of a Terrible Trio with his teammates "Rum" and "Sodomy". Unfortunately, the team fell apart: Rum was always too drunk, and Sodomy, well... he was too busy. | |

Kevin Ayers recorded a film sequence, a prototype video, for his 1974 hit Carribean Moon. The video presents a young-looking Kevin, in a sailor suit and a fetching pageboy haircut, performing the song while behind him, three very fey and somewhat under-dressed male dancers, whose only clothing appears to be very minimal loincloths and strategically placed bananas, camp it up to a ridiculous extent just behind him. The video has justly been described as the gayest thing ever committed to film for a musical video. | |

Referenced on a number of occasions in Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin series. While sodomy is technically a hanging offense in the Royal Navy, the more liberal sort of officer - such as Jack Aubrey - tends to turn a blind eye to it unless it's excessively blatant, or is coupled with some other breach of the Articles of War that can't be ignored. The main problem that Jack has with gays in command positions is not so much their sexuality as that the favoritism they show their partners has a very bad effect on their ships' order and discipline. Aubrey himself is the subject of an inferred crush by an older man, the Sailing Master on his first command. Nothing specific happens but it is remarked upon by certain crew members who know the Sailing Master from previous service. |

Bend over for the Golden Rivet!: The punchline to a specifically Royal Navy joke not about rum or the lash. something of a catch-phrase on The Goon Show until the BBC Moral Guardians realised the inference. ...as was "But you're a sailor and sailors don't care!". |

Deadpool accidentally invokes this trope by walking into a bar full of sailors in a tiny tank top and short shorts. In San Francisco. And then he comes up with his hairbrained scheme to join the X-Men. | |
