[B-Greek] Two men in one bed?

Dear friends,

 

Luke 17:34 says that two men shall be in one “bed” (KLINE). Could “O”
(masculine) also refer to a woman? Wouldn’t it be strange to have two men
sleeping in one bed at the coming of Christ? Since the meals were taken at a
“KLINE”, should this word not be translated as “couch” or a synonym, in
order for people to understand the text properly? I used the word “divã” in
my translation. Do you think I am on the right track?

We always think the two were sleeping and not participating in a meal,
because “KLINE” was translated as “bed”.
