Disclaimer: he was most likely not actually masturbating in his final moments. A more probable explanation is that the hot pyroclastic flow from Mt. Vesuvius forcefully contracted his muscles, leaving him in that state.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Newton had stated that his chastity was a result of him attempting to emulate his biggest role model -- Jesus Christ. (Could've also been a safe excuse)

It would be cool as hell if he was actually gay though.... I'll just imagine he was :P
