1) When he was thirteen, shortly after his first wet dream Hojo gave Sephiroth a lecture on 'safe sex' as applied to SOLDIERs and other enhanced humans. It included clinical photographs of the sort of damage Gregori did to the women (and occasionally men) he picked up in the slums and left Sephiroth determined never to have sex with anyone who wasn't a SOLDIER or equally enhanced. Especially since Hojo finished with an order to send any females he had sex with to Hojo when he'd finished with them, if they survived, in case they might be breeding.
1a) One of the points in the 'safe sex' for SOLDIERs lecture was that you can't catch STDs (or most other diseases) from anyone with a lower level of Mako in their blood than you, which is one of the reasons Hojo takes any excuse he can get to give Cloud a physical, to make sure he won't have any chance of infecting Sephiroth with something. It's also why you receive a physical on declaring your intention to enter the next SOLDIER Entrance Exams, six months in advance.
2) This Sephiroth has a fundamental sense that he is inferior to other people, all other people, because he's been raised since birth with the awareness that he is a piece of property not a person. It makes for some interesting dichotomies when he thinks about the fact that he commands an army, but his quarterly visits to the labs reinforce his status in his mind.
3) Angeal was Sephiroth's first lover, Sephiroth was the one to make the first move and he just assumed sex was supposed to hurt for the one being taken. A combination of the fear of himself Hojo instilled with the lecture described in point 1) and his sense of inferiority described in point 2) kept Sephiroth from asking if Angeal would let him return the favour, and then he realised how much attention Angeal paid to him when he took Sephiroth, attention that Angeal didn't seem to expect him to return and how that made him feel like a real person. In addition one of the reasons Sephiroth bottomed at first was a reaction to Gregori’s ‘real men don’t get fucked’ attitude.
