That's a ploy to get famous - that's not about the sex.

It's not honest. It's a ploy to get famous.

Moses went on a journey with Khidr and Khidr said, "I will not accept you unless you stop questioning things," which from an external point of view seems strange, but inwardly is very meaningful. This is exactly the question of spiritual guidance.
