Hey. I happen to have a ponytail and a real life hairline very near what
Worf gets after makeup, and thanks to a childhood tricycle accident, I nearly
have a ridge, too. I'd LIKE to think the ponytail is sexy, but then it has
been over a year since any new acquaintence growled at me and then took off
her clothes...

Given what we know of what they consider heterosexual sex, I should hope
no one should flame you for your interest in homosexuality among Klingons. As
a hoplessly unalterable heterosexual, I find such inquiries quite
unthreatening and without cause for flame.
I would think that with pain being such an integral part of the sexual
experience that the head butting in the bars would be considered within the
looser realm of sex, sort of like a fully clothed, but very sensual kiss.
Remember, homophobia is fear, a very uncool concept to a true Klingon.
