Ah I haven't written anything but I did make an autistic image. Pic related. This one is quite sloppy and I'm not a huge fan of it, and I can't vouch for all the texts I listed, but I think it'll give you some good breadcrumb trails to start down. Regarding secondary texts about Middle Eastern homoeroticism, I'm not sure which are the best, but here are some of the ones I skimmed for sources as well as standard texts:
>Before Homosexuality in the Arab‐Islamic World, 1500–1800 by Khaled El-Rouayheb
>Islamic Homosexualities by Stephen O. Murray and Will Roscoe
>Sexuality and Eroticism among Males in Muslim Societies by Arno Schmitt
>Homoeroticism in Classical Arabic Literature by Everett K. Rowson and J.W. Wright
Each of these have their advantages and disadvantages, different theoretical considerations, etc. You might find the Encyclopaedia Iranica articles on homosexuality instructive too, I believe it's a four part series.

Sir Richard Burton's Terminal Essay (at the end of his translation of the Arabian Nights) is justly famous

Sorry anon, not yet. Here's an earlier draft which was a lot less disciplined. Most of these books only have marginal relevance to homosexuality. however there are some good ones that are missing from the more specific charts.
