Meaning of pæderasts | Babel Free
Definitions
Noun. [B2]
Examples
“In the case of this numerous class of pæderasts there is therefore no depraved fancy at work⟳, no demoralisation through satiety of natural sexual appetite.(†) Their congenital impulse explains the fact, moreover, that very many pæderasts are addicted to what may be termed a Platonic voluptuousness, and feel⟳ themselves drawn towards the objects of their desire with a warmth of passion more fervent than is common in the relations of the opposed sexes ; that, in other cases again, they are satisfied with embracements, from which they derive a mutual pleasure.”
