I don't believe Bono is worried about his private sex life.
Masturbation, Condemnation, In Temptation, something, something,Y2K,
Loyola 2000, absolute morality, Bonotheism...the list of problems goes
on and on. In fact, I think he's more worried about his safety in public
than anything else right now.

About seven years ago, I can vividly recall an article that Spin
magazine ran on U2. If I remember correctly, the article was called
'U2-Creatures from the Zoo: The Story They Didn't Want You To Read.'
This was a brillant piece of work that dealt with the early
controversies involving the mammoth ZooTV Tour (1st Leg). It revealed
some fascinating bits of info. such as, the "Kill Bono" campaign that
was rampant in America. Now, this was really intense because security
was really on alert in case of disaster. It said Bono was followed
around by a great number of personal security guards which looked after
him night and day (still happens today). In essence, the campaign was
just a prank by some crazed fan or fans. At the time, the 'Kill Bono'
campaign was wild and I'm sure Paul McGuiness and company were not going
to take any chances. It scared U2 because this was some serious shit!!
It was like the FBI or CIA trying to silence John Lennon. Hmmm.

Come to think of it maybe the 'Kill Bono' movement was started by guilty
parties such as, Henry Rollins himself...how 'bout Peter Hook of
NewOrder fame...MOBY, COKE is the Real Thang...Don "the Lame Eagle"
Henley...Peter Garret who's still burning the already worn-out Midnight
Oil? And the most guilty culprit in my humble opinion...drumroll...Dave
Grohl, who practically denied the Fly in his own backyard!! Yet, On the
3rd day the King of the Zoos Rose Again...
