Or perhaps it's just garden variety human crazy. IOW, working as intended. Remember, crazy isn't a bug, it's a feature. What do you think you'd see if you fell 30 feet? Apparently, when he fantasizes, he sees beautiful men (maybe he ought to explore that, lol).
As a somewhat related aside, isn't it amusing that we so often seem to see beautiful angels, beautiful depictions of prophets, but rarely ugly or disfigured ones? We reserve that for demons, for heretics. Most of those in the pews here in the US picture a gorgeous northern european jesus, fit and attractive with flowing slightly curly hair, piercing eyes, and perfectly straight teeth. The kind of guy guys want to be and girls want to :ahem:, be with. We just can't seem to help ourselves, can we? We sing about being in his arms, being held in his love, feeling his touch, etc.
