<< Because this particular woman happened to be a Samaritan. >>

Yeh, but, she had told Jesus that she was from Samaria. She didn't tell the disciples where she came from.

Besides that, it didn't say that the disciples marvelled that he was talking with a Samarian woman. It just said "a woman".

But, you could very easily prove Jesus's sexual orientation. Just point out a passage in the bible showing that Jesus had normal sexual tendencies. Where does it say about Jesus being a normal sexually active young man?

<< In those days Jewish people and Samaritans did not associate with each other. >>

None of them? Surely there were some, in those days, that cast aside their prejudice. OTOH, taking your translation, why do you think that Jesus and his disciples were prejudiced against Samarians, so much that they would be surprised that Jesus was talking with one of them? Didn't they feel that their god had created ALL mankind?
