" My main concerns were body odor and risk of broken ("cauliflower") ears, not sexual orientation"
------------------
LOL
I went up against some foul-smelling opponents way back when.
The mandatory ear-guards minimized any cauliflower ears.
In regard to sexual orientation.
Well... there is a lot of body contact involved...however, I would be amazed if anyone gets a charge out of an opponent's repeated attempts to dislocate one's shoulder or elbow.
Having your face squashed into the mat doesn't seem particularly erotic either.
