Right to privacy and liberty are some of the implied but not explicit rights in the constitution. It is also implied by the ninth amendment which states that there are rights individuals enjoy that are not enumerated in the constitution. Also I think it would be quite contrary to our founding principles to assert that the constitution does not protect our right to liberty; liberty is the most often cited constitutional value/right among both liberals and conservatives.

Also Bowers' decision was based more in homophobia than in any constitutional reasoning. After all, Burger's concurring opinion referred to homosexual sex as sodomy, thereby implying that he agreed with the law as a legislative matter, and not that he was concerned with whether it was constitutional to ban sodomy (among homosexuals or otherwise). Justice White even framed the legal question in terms as if they were deciding whether there was a right to gay sex, not whether the constitution guaranteed a right to privacy in the bedroom (Bowers didn't challenge Griswold's finding that there was a right to privacy to begin with).
tl;dr Bowers decided that, yeah there is a right to privacy but not for homosexuals because gay sex is immoral.

Not quite what the OP was asking, but still.
