[13]
And we are ashamed when we suffer or have suffered or are likely to suffer
things which tend to ignominy and reproach; such are prostituting one's person
or performing disgraceful actions, including unnatural lust. And of these
actions those that promote licentiousness are disgraceful, whether voluntary or
involuntary （the latter being those that are done under
compulsion）,
since meek endurance and the
absence of resistance are the result of unmanliness or cowardice.
These and similar things are those of which men are ashamed.
