Pederasty in ancient Greece was a socially acknowledged erotic relationship between an adult male (the erastes) and a younger male (the eromenos) usually in his teens. It was characteristic of the Archaic and Classical periods

What part needs an explanation?
Your self definition as 'asexual'.
Absolute no desire to have sex.

@graham Cornered with simple truth and cowering with deflection techniques attempts that you learned in AFTER THE BALL, THE MANUAL ON GAY LOGIC FOR FAGGOTS TO BULLY NORMAL HETEROSEXUALS INTO COMPLIANCE THROUGH SHAMING AND GUILT TRIPPING book link here read the reviews!Sorry that you believe you can control what others think,, retard! Ain't ginna fly with me, fruitcake! I don't engage in gay mind games such as this book exposed. Will edit with Amazon link and I'll humor you by posting a video that you can watch 20 times till you get it, lol So you don't have an actual reason then? Fair enough. Be easier if you just admitted it though.

This thread has become heartbreaking to read. I did not choose to be gay. I have tried to have heterosexual relationships. I simply do not find women sexually attractive. I spent many years being celibate as I felt that was the better alternative than to seek male companionship due to my family's and my personal beliefs. But you know what, that is a horrible and lonely way to live. I'm young, attractive, have money, own a home, and am extremely dedicated to family. How is it wrong to want to find a partner and to eventually get married and have kids? In my case, rather than father my own children, I want to adopt. I want to take an unwanted child that was a result of a hetero coupling and to give him or her a permanent home. Now explain to me, how is that a degradation to society or to the institution of marriage? Hetero couples get married and divorce at the drop of a hat. Hetero couples cheat on each other. Het couples abandon their children. Het couples adopt. Het couples hire surrogates. Het couples have open marriages where they sleep with other people. Het couples practice sodomy. Het couples have loveless marriages. Het couples sometimes marry just for citizenship status. Now how does that not degrade the "institution of marriage" that you value so much?
If or when I do get married, it will be a real, legal marriage. If or when I have children, they will be my children and they would be my real family. You can burrow your head in the sand and actively dislike it all you want. But by making it your business to refer to my marriage as a "marriage" or my family as my "family". you're not just insulting me, you would be insulting my children and the 22,000+ children adopted by gay couples in the United States alone. Children that would have otherwise remain unwanted. So think about that the next time you want to go out of your way to invalidate a family with same-sex parents.
Do you want to know why I want to get married to my partner? It's not because I want to play dress-up and "pretend" to have a family. Legal marriage comes with legal benefits. If I were to be rushed to the emergency room today, my partner would not be allowed in to see me. But if we were married, he would be the first one allowed in. If we were married, I could put him under my health insurance. We would get a tax break. We would get discounts on home and auto insurance. If we were married, he would be my next of kin. So if I died he would not have to worry about the finances, our home, his right to plan and be at my funeral, etc. Because those things come with the benefit of marriage. The way that some of you talk about gay people marrying is like how people don't like interracial marriage. It's sickening. A lot of your opinions are understandable and you are entitled to them but if you re-read what you are saying it's coming from a place of hate and disgust. Every time you are talking this way about a gay person you are referring to me as well. I may not fit the negatively stereotypical depiction of a gay man, but I am still gay. Even if I chose to be celibate again, I would still be gay. I think I'm just going to avoid threads like this from now on because while I like a lot of you, I don't like this aspect of you.

Understood, but that does not make you asexual. If you are a living being you have reproductive organs of some sort, so you have a 'sex nature' defined from existence. Just how things are.

Except that it does. Don't be an ignorant bigot. Try to strive to be a better person. You'll feel better.

My husband and I play bridge with another couple every Wednesday. This other couple says lots of disparaging things about gay people. Today they went over the top. They often talk about gay marriage and how it should not be allowed, this time the husband went on about pedophilia and how 'Almost all gay men are pedophiles'. How does one deal with such people while still trying to keep love in your heart? Is gay people getting married something that bothers you? If so.... why? It's very simple: "Hey guys, we aren't really comfortable with all the anti gay, homophobic discussions as of late. We happen to have gay friends and have a different perspective on homosexuality than you do. Some of your comments have been rather offensive to us. You're entitled to your opinion, but we'd rather you just keep that part to yourselves. We can agree to disagree and just play bridge okay." If they can't accept that very reasonable request, then they are probably unreasonable people and maybe you should consider finding different friends.

?? No one said that religion isn't only one of three things you mentioned. So how about answering the question I asked you? Also: (1) How do you know I didn't have parents who got divorced? (2) Why are you assuming that divorces involve children? (3) How do you know that I haven't been divorced? I don't know what you have or haven't done. Kindly repeat the question. . We're talking days and a heap of trolling ago. Re "I don't know what you have or haven't done"--I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with divorce. You suggested that children of divorce would think there is something inherently wrong with divorce. So it follows that you must be assuming that I didn't have parents who got divorced, since you believe that children of divorce believe there is something inherently wrong with it. Re the question I asked, it was this: "how are you figuring that gay couples who have been legally married are not socially/culturally married? "

I'm sorry but why are they black and not white if they are mixed? Are they only black? Yes a child with one black parent and one white parent is black... but guess what it is also white. To claim otherwise is beyond ridiculous. LMAO! Read what you just wrote and THINK! Sorry but you're NOT White. Did I claim to be white? I'm Haitian so yes black. Is the black gene so dominant that even one drop of it makes you "just" black? How can you be "mixed" and just black? By definition being mixed is a blend of two or more things. You can not be mixed with just one ethnicity.

In your mind it does, but it is not truth. You can try to (re)define an entire dictionary to fit what you think is true, but truth remains truth and false remains false. You are speaking falseness. You speak of ignorance, bigotry and striving to being a better person, and yet look at your kind of response. That response does not change truth either regardless of how you try to twist it.

For example, put a drop of ink into the water and it is no longer pure or fit for drinking.

adj.
1. Having no evident sex or sex organs; sexless.
2. Relating to, produced by, or involving reproduction that occurs without the union of male and female gametes, as in binary fission or budding.
3. Relating to or being a person who does not experience sexual attraction.
