So you concluded that makes it normal? Are you talking about a literal child, or about a teenager with some femininity?
Pedophilia in the medical sense refers to prepubescent children. Adolescents or those between childhood and adolescence have other terms.
Anyway, the same justifications could be applied in Sparta. The boy there wasn’t forced into homosexuality; these were intimate relationships that were common and supposedly strengthened the bond between teacher and student.
So would you say it wouldn’t harm the boy, not even in the long run? No direct or indirect harm?
