Ancient Greece Vs Modern-day Olympics

Upside - Ancient Olympians competed in the nude


Deal Breaking Downside - Women weren't allowed to compete...
 
I could be wrong but didn't Olympic era Greeks believe that sex for pleasure was supposed to be with boys and sex for children was to be with wives?
No disrespect intended for modern day Greeks.
 
Tolerant? I believe they basically raped young boys too. I would not have wanted to see a old man circle jerk in a stadium that smells like balls, watching two men mount each other.
 
My understanding is that Greek pederastic relationships typically did not include full-on intercourse.

That is a myth. A long time since high school, but I believe this myth stems from an ancient Greek sarcastic comedy.
