pæderasts

  1. plural of pæderast
    • 1896, John Addington Symonds, chapter IV, in A Problem in Modern Ethics, page 26:
      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.
