If a man touches a man's penis for the sake of desire, does his wudu' (ablution) become invalid?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : I am asking now: if a man touches a man's penis for the sake of desire? We are requesting [a ruling]. What is the ruling on the hermaphrodite? A man touched a penis for the sake of desire.

Answer : No, it does not become invalid. His wudu' does not become invalid. In the school of thought, it is not possible for wudu' to become invalid by touching for the sake of desire unless the one touched is of a different gender than the one touching. This is in the case of a non-hermaphrodite. That is, if a man touches a woman for the sake of desire, his wudu' becomes invalid. If a woman touches a man for the sake of desire, her wudu' becomes invalid. If a man touches a man's penis for the sake of desire, his wudu' does not become invalid. If a woman touches a woman for the sake of desire, her wudu' does not become invalid. Now, what about the hermaphrodite?
If a man touches his own penis for the sake of desire, his wudu' becomes invalid in all cases. Because if the penis is the original one, he has touched a penis. And if it is an extra one, he has touched a woman for the sake of desire. If a woman touches a penis or a vulva for the sake of desire, we say: we do not move to the ruling of [invalidity].
Because it is possible that the penis is the original one, in which case her wudu' becomes invalid. And it is possible that it is not the original one, in which case she has touched a woman for the sake of desire. And touching a woman for the sake of desire does not invalidate her wudu'. Is that clear? Now, if there is no issue of doubt.
