I think at this point you must apply Occam's Razor. It seems more likely that Melville was having fun and subtly hinting at the homoeroticism of the situation. Otherwise, you are indeed "consciously working to not see", like user nemo said above.

“It seems more likely”… based on what? From the perspective of modern repressed culture? It may indeed require conscious work to look past that.

Could be right, could be wrong, but the gp seemed to be dismissing even the possibility out of hand.
