  1. paederasty

    Paederasty, also spelled pederasty, is an ancient custom practiced primarily in Greece and Roman societies, involving a social as well as educational relationship between adolescent boys and adult men. The older men played an essential mentoring or teaching role, while the adolescent boys were seen as apprentices. The practice often included courtship rituals, gifts, and varying degrees of physical contact, ranging from an affectionate relationship to sexually intimate. It is important to note that pederasty's acceptability varied considerably from culture to culture and across different historical times.
