My favorite response to this is from Robert P. Parker.
 I'm too lazy too look it up, so this is going to be a paraphrase, but it will be true to the spirit, if not the letter.

Spenser and Hawk are working out in a gym (Henry Cimoli's, no doubt). Spenser says to Hawk (I don't remember why): "I just read a book by a guy named Fielding that says that guys like us are repressing homo-erotic tendencies." Hawk: "Doin' a damn good job of it, too."
