Pederasty or paederasty (US: /pdrsti/ UK: /pidrsti/) is a (usually erotic) relationship between an older man and an adolescent boy outside his immediate family. The word pederasty derives from Greek (paiderastia) "love of children" or "love of boys"1 a compound derived from (pais) "child boy" and (erasts) "lover".
Historically pederasty has existed as a variety of customs and practices within different cultures. The status of pederasty has changed over the course of history at times considered an ideal and at other times a crime.
In the history of Europe its most structured cultural manifestation was Athenian pederasty and became most prominent in the 6th century BC. Greek pederasty's various forms were the subject of philosophic debates in which the carnal type was unfavorably compared with erotic yet spiritual and moderate forms.
The legal status of pederasty in most countries is currently determined by whether or not the boy has reached the local age of consent. When illegal law enforcement generally treats it as a form of child sexual abuse.

ntiquity pederasty was seen as an educational institution for the inculcation of moral and cultural values by the older man to the younger9 as well as a form of sexual expression. It entered representation in history from the Archaic period onwards in Ancient Greece though Cretan ritual objects reflected an already formalized practice date to the late Minoan civilization around 1650 BC.10 According to Plato11 in ancient Greece pederasty was a relationship and bond whether sexual or chaste between an adult man and an adolescent boy outside his immediate family. While most Greek men engaged in sexual relations with both women and boys12 exceptions to the rule were known some avoiding relations with women and others rejecting relations with boys. In Rome relations with boys took a more informal and less civic path with older men either taking advantage of dominant social status to extract sexual favors from their social inferiors or carrying on illicit relationships with freeborn boys.13
Judaism and Christianity condemned sodomy (while defining that term variously but including relations between males). Islam also prohibited the practice.
Within this blanket condemnation of sodomy pederasty in particular was a target. The second-century preacher Clement of Alexandria used divine pederasty as an indictment of Greek religion and the mythological figures of Herakles Apollo Poseidon Laius and Zeus: "For your gods did not abstain even from boys. One loved Hylas another Hyacinthus another Pelops another Chrysippus another Ganymedes. These are the gods your wives are to worship!"14 Early legal codes prescribed harsh penalties for violators. The law code of the Visigothic king Chindasuinth called for both partners to be "emasculated without delay and be delivered up to the bishop of the diocese where the deed was committed to be placed in solitary confinement in a prison."15 These punishments were often linked to the penance given after the Sacrament of Confession. At Rome the punishment was burning at the stake since the time of Theodosius I (390). Nonetheless the practice continued to surface giving rise to proverbs such as With wine and boys around the monks have no need of the Devil to tempt them an early Christian saying from the Middle East.16
Pederasty was notable in Moorish Spain.17 It was present in Tuscany and northern Italy during the Renaissance.1819 It also was documented in medieval and Tsarist Russia.20
Elsewhere it was practiced in pre-Modern Japan until the Meiji restoration.21
Sexual expression between adults and adolescents is not well studied. Since the 1990s it has been often been conflated with pedophilia.citation needed Nonetheless such relationships have raised issues of morality and functionality agency for the youth and parental authority. They also raise issues of legality in those cases where the minor is below the age of consent. Homosexual pederasty was deemed beneficial by ancient philosophers Japanese samurai and modern writers such as Oscar Wilde. In many societies it was justified on the grounds that love was the best foundation for teaching courage as well as civic and cultural values and that man-boy relations were superior to relations with a woman.citation needed Etymology and usage
Pederasty derives from the combination of - (the Greek stem for child22 or boy23) with (Greek for lover; cf. eros). Late Latin pderasta was borrowed in the sixteenth century directly from Platos classical Greek in The Symposium. (Latin transliterates as ae.) The word first appeared in the English language during the Renaissance as pderastie (e.g. in Samuel Purchas' Pilgrimage.) in the sense of sexual relations between men and boys.

The commonly accepted reference definitions of pederasty refer to a sexual relationship or to copulation between older and younger males. The OED offers: "Homosexual relations between a man and a boy; homosexual anal intercourse usually with a boy or younger man as the passive partner."25 The concise OED has: Sexual intercourse between a man and a boy.26 When describing pederasts some focus solely on the mechanics of copulation such as the Merriam-Webster (on-line edition): one who practices anal intercourse especially with a boy.27 Other dictionaries offer a more general definition such as "homosexual relations between men and boys"28 or "homosexual relations especially between a male adult and a boy or young man."29 The limitation of pederasty to anal sex with a boy is contested by sexologists. Francoeur regards it as "common but incorrect"30 while Haeberle describes it as "a modern usage resulting from a misunderstanding of the original term and ignorance of its historical implications."31

xual scenes the partners stand embracing face to face the older of the two engaged in intercrural sex with the younger who (usually but not always) does not show arousal. Anal sex is almost never shown and then only as something eliciting surprise in the observers. The practice was ostensibly disparaged the Athenians often naming it jocularly after their Dorian neighbors ("cretanize" "laconize" "chalcidize"). While historians such as Dover and Halperin hold that only the man experienced pleasure art and poetry indicate reciprocity of desire and other historians assert that it is "a modern fairy tale that the younger eromenos was never aroused."36
Pederastic couples were said to be feared by tyrants because the bond between the friends was stronger than that of obedience to a tyrannical ruler. Plutarch gives as examples the Athenians Harmodius and Aristogeiton. Others such as Aristotle claimed that the Cretan lawgivers encouraged pederasty as a means of population control by directing love and sexual desire into relations with males.37 Romans Main article: Homosexuality in ancient Rome Jupiter abducting Ganymede; 1st c.

From the early Republican times of Ancient Rome it was perfectly normal for a man to desire and pursue boys.38 However penetration was illegal for free born youths; the only boys who were legally allowed to perform as a passive sexual partner were slaves or former slaves known as "freedmen" and then only with regard to their former masters. For slaves there was no protection under the law even against rape.39
The result was that in Roman times pederasty largely lost its function as a ritual part of education and was instead seen as an activity primarily driven by one's sexual desires and competing with desire for women. The social acceptance of pederastic relations waxed and waned during the centuries. Conservative thinkers condemned it along with other forms of indulgence. Tacitus attacks the Greek customs of "gymnasia et otia et turpes amores" (palaestrae idleness and shameful loves).40
Other writers spent no effort censuring pederasty per se but praised or blamed its various aspects. Martial appears to have favored it going as far as to essentialize not the sexual use of the catamite but his nature as a boy: upon being discovered by his wife "inside a boy" and offered the "same thing" by her he retorts with a list of mythological personages who despite being married took young male lovers and concludes by rejecting her offer since "a woman merely has two vaginas."41 Post-classical and modern forms Middle East and Central Asia

Pederastic eros in the West while remaining mostly hidden has nevertheless revealed itself in a variety of settings. Legal records are one of the more important windows into this secret world since for much of the time pederastic relations like other forms of homosexual relations were illegal.50 The expression of desire through literature and art albeit in coded fashion can also afford a view of the pederastic interests of the author.
Reflecting the conflicted outlook on male loves some northern European writers ascribed pederastic tendencies to populations in southern latitudes. Richard Francis Burton evolved his theory of the Sotadic zone an area bounded roughly by N. Lat. 43 N. Lat. 30 stretching from the western shores of the Mediterranean Sea to the Pacific Ocean.51 Likewise Wilhelm Kroll writing in the Pauly-Wissowa encyclopaedia in 1906 asserted that "The roots of pederasty are found first of all in the existence of a contrary sexual feeling that is

In the 16th century Bernal Diaz reported seeing statues of male pairs making love in the temples at Cape Catoche Yucatan.49 Europe
Pederastic eros in the West while remaining mostly hidden has nevertheless revealed itself in a variety of settings. Legal records are one of the more important windows into this secret world since for much of the time pederastic relations like other forms of homosexual relations were illegal.50 The expression of desire through literature and art albeit in coded fashion can also afford a view of the pederastic interests of the author.
Reflecting the conflicted outlook on male loves some northern European writers ascribed pederastic tendencies to populations in southern latitudes. Richard Francis Burton evolved his theory of the Sotadic zone an area bounded roughly by N. Lat. 43 N. Lat. 30 stretching from the western shores of the Mediterranean Sea to the Pacific Ocean.51 Likewise Wilhelm Kroll writing in the Pauly-Wissowa encyclopaedia in 1906 asserted that "The roots of pederasty are found first of all in the existence of a contrary sexual feeling that is

Renaissance
Main article: Pederasty in the Renaissance
The Renaissance was a period that saw a rediscovery or renewed interest in the philosophy and art of the Classical period. The Roman Catholic Church suppressed homosexual and pederastic expressions of attraction especially through the machinery of the Inquisition most infamously the Spanish Inquisition. The Church could not repress all expressions of pederastic desire. According to an encyclopedia of GLBTQ culture "The most conventional object of homoerotic desire in art was the adolescent youth usually imagined as beardless."53
England Noonday Heat (1911) By Henry Scott Tuke (18581929). Many of Tuke's most well-known works are nudes of young men and boys and the artist is closely associated with the Uranian movement.
In England into the 20th century public boarding schools were limited to boys and all the teachers were male. Some upper class boys were sent to boarding school by age 7 or 8 and they studied there through the adolescent years. Some teachers justified homosexual relationships based on the Classics both between the older and younger boys and between teachers and boys. However there were some scandals around such relationships. In the mid-19th century William Johnson Cory a renowned master at Eton from 1845 until his forced resignation in 1872 evolved a style of pedagogic pederasty which influenced a number of his pupils. His Ionica a work of poetry reflecting his pederastic sensibilities was read in intellectual circles and made a stir at Oxford in 1859.54 Oscar Browning another Eton master and former student of Cory followed in his tutors footsteps only to be likewise dismissed in 1875. Both are thought to have influenced Oxford don Walter Pater whose aesthetics promoted pederasty as the truest expression of classical culture.55
Also in 19th-century England pederasty was a theme in the work of several writers known as the "Uranian poets". Although most of the writers of Uranian poetry and prose are today considered minor literary figures the prominent Uranian representatives --- Walter Pater Gerard Manley Hopkins and Oscar Wilde are figures of worldwide renown. Hopkins and Wilde were both deeply influenced by Pater's work. Wilde wrote of pederastic and homoerotic culturethough not in the "elevated" pederastic sense that it held for Pater and Hopkins56 in a number of works.57 In the case of Hopkins "Hopkins often was it must be admitted strikingly Ruskinian in his love of Aristotelian particulars and their arrangements; however it was at the foot of Pater the foremost Victorian unifier of eros pedagogy and aesthetics that Hopkins would ever remain."58 Another notable late 19th-century writer on pederasty was John Addington Symonds whose essays "A Problem in Greek Ethics" and "A Problem in Modern Ethics" were among the first defenses of homosexuality in the English language.59 Reaction and retrenchment
The end of the 19th century saw increasing conflict over the issue of social acceptance of pederasty. A number of other pederastic scandals erupted around this time such as the one involving the German industrialist Friedrich Alfred Krupp which drove him to suicide by some reports. In the same vein in a work that was to influence the evolution of communism's attitude towards same-sex love the German political philosopher Friedrich Engels Karl Marx's collaborator denounced the ancient Greeks for "the abominable practice of sodomy" and for degrading "their gods and themselves with the myth of Ganymede".60

Pederasty, a Custom of Ancient Greece

rman (Adolf Brand) and it advocated classical pederasty as a cure for the moral flabbiness of German youth. Influenced by the ideas of Gustav Wyneken the Wandervogel movement was open about its homoerotic tendencies. Affection between males was supposed to be expressed in a nonsexual way. The founding of Young Wandervogel happened largely as a reaction to the public scandal about these erotic tendencies which were said to alienate young men from women.
Until the 1970s English "public schools" were boarding schools whose male teachers educated young and adolescent boys only. They emphasized study of Greek and Latin classics. The all-male environment encouraged hotbeds of pederasty into the twentieth century.61 C. S. Lewis when talking about his life at Malvern College an English public school acknowledged that pederasty "was the only counterpoise to the social struggle; the one oasis (though green only with weeds and moist only with foetid water) in the burning desert of competitive ambition."62
Eventually pederasty was decreasedcitation needed in British public schools due to the introduction of female teachers and co-education which gave boys a heterosexual output. Child abuse was no longer hushed upcitation needed due to society's concerns with protecting children. Parents had more control over who had responsibility for the children and men with pedophile or pederastic tendencies were barred from teaching jobs. Modern expressions
Liminal same-sex love relations with young people on the threshold of becoming adults whether for pleasure or to further social goals is no longer widely practiced in the Westcitation needed despite its lawful status in many countries. Feminist and postmodern theories describe such relations as an abuse of power when the older partner is in a position of educational religious economic or other form of institutional authority over the younger partner. Pederasty is widely censured whether legally or illegally expressed. Instances of it or of homosexual behavior among public men have had severe political repercussions. (For example the Mark Foley scandal or "Pagegate"63 in which apparent abuse of pages in the United States in 2006 may have contributed to the Democratic capture of the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate in the following fall elections.64) The United States appears to be moving towards a more restrictive approach to such relationships. In 1983 for instance Democratic Congressman Gerry Studds admitted having had an affair with a 17-year-old page and was censured by the House of Representatives but he continued his career in Congress.
The Catholic Church has been rocked in the 21st century by long-delayed accounts of child-sex abuse. After resistance to revelations it is working to control activities of its priests. On February 2 1961 the Vatican issued a document Instruction on the Careful Selection and Training of Candidates for the States of Perfection and Sacred Orders barring from the priesthood anyone who has "perverse inclinations to homosexuality or pederasty" but that was not sufficient for the times.65 Child abuse issues
Though pederasty was once accepted in many cultures some modern observers have retrospectively labeled it abusive. Enid Bloch argues that many Greek boys who were involved in pederastic relationships may have been harmed by the experience if the relationship included anal sex. Bloch writes that the boy may have been traumatized by knowing that he was violating social customs. According to her the "most shameful thing that could happen to any Greek male was penetration by another male."
Bloch further argues that vases showing "a boy standing perfectly still as a man reaches out for his genitals" indicate the boy may have been "psychologically immobilized unable to move or run away."66 M
