Pederasty was not widely accepted across Greece, it was in Sparta but was outlawed in Athens even philosophers like Socrates spoke ill of it.In ancient Greece, young boys would have sex with their male mentors
This was seen as normal, also male Greek soldiers used to have gay sex as a form of bonding
Sex with women was only for procreation
There was also a Roman Emporer that Married a Boy because he looked like his dead wife

No argument with the Roman emperor
