Context: During their first visit to Hawaii, James Cook and his men were introduced to the Natives beliefs on relationships.
They were very, very open to pretty much any form, many of them being forms of incest but also male on male.
Cook and his men partook in some of these practices, but not the homosexual ones.
The Natives truly enjoyed the Europeans and even requested that Cook allow one of his lieutenants to stay and become basically a male wife. Cook rejected the request
