Pederasty

In this episode, we confront the disturbing history of pederasty in ancient Greece — a socially accepted system where powerful men claimed ownership over young boys under the guise of mentorship. But this isn’t just history. It’s a mirror.   I explore how this ritualized abuse was about power, not love — and how similar dynamics continue today, hidden behind affection, silence, and normalization.   We reflect on the loss of innocence, the envy of spirit, and the emotional confusion many survivors still carry. This is a necessary conversation and the foundation for the next episode on male sexual trauma.   It’s time to speak the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable.
