Killing three birds with one stone and using this as a chance to explain relevant Tommy relationships (which aren't all necessarily romantic).

The only 'romantic' relationship I've pictured him having was settling for Junior Christein if, again, Orel was out of the picture. Maybe kissed with Joe or Marionetta as highschoolers to discard any attraction towards the other when still fumbling with their identities.

I think Tommy only dwells on his attraction to men in the power aspect- He hates being perceived as weak or lesser because the position he takes.
