obviously it is men according to this fragment:Gilgamesh sends the temple prostitute, Shamhat, to deal with him. Enkidu spends six days and seven nights making love with Shamhat, after which, sensing her scent upon him, the animals flee from him, and he finds he can not return to his old waysWhen Enkidu is dying, he expresses his anger at Shamhat for making him civilized, blaming her for bringing him to the new world of experiences that has led to his death. I have curses her to become an outcast. The god Shamash reminds Enkidu that Shamhat fed and clothed him. Enkidu relents and blesses her saying that they will desire her and offer her gifts of jewels.
