There is no reliable evidence for consensual sexual intimacy between Lawrence and any other person of either gender at any point during his life, and Lawrence explicitly claimed virginity.

But hold on there, T. Bray, the two clauses of your one sentence are in conflict for the key word is "consensual" as modifier of "sexual intimacy." One is not a virgin if one has been raped or has raped.
There is considerable evidence that Lawrence was a masochist. In describing the Dera’a beating, Lawrence writes “a delicious warmth, probably sexual, was swelling through me”.
Dude, is that not "sexual intimacy"? Lawrence says it was "sexual," "delicious," sounds like he enjoyed it. It was sexual intimacy, okay? C'mon, man. If he got off through beatings and was not penetrated in any of the body cavities then he was still a virgin (Why do you have to use such an antiquated female-centric term?). He would have been sexually intimate via "non-penetrative" (hint: that is the contemporary term) sex. If he voluntarily participated in non-penetrative sexual intimacy then drop "consensual." If he was forcibly penetrated or if he forcibly penetrated others then he was raped or did rape and "virginity" should be dropped. C'mon, man.
