There was a brief discussion of this topic on BC earlier. See:
https://secure.boychat.org/messages/1626019.htm
which quotes the whole passage.

I've read Bart D. Ehrman, and he's an excellent scholar. In the Youtube video, after describing the story, unfortunately he can't resist the temptation to adopt the anachronistic nudge-nudge wink-wink mode. But that Jesus taught 'the mystery of the kingdom' to a young man dressed in nothing but a linen cloth does not imply that they had a sexual relationship. Unfortunately Morton Smith himself muddied the waters in his own presentation (in The Secret Gospel), by casually suggesting, in a throwaway line, that the initiation into the mysteries of the kingdom might have had a sexual component. This suggestion has tended to eclipse his great discovery of the Longer Gospel of Mark.
