Was homosexuality a cultural phase in ancient Greeks lives?

Many men in Ancient Greece acted as eromenos ("beloved") to older men from puberty to their late 20's, and then acted as erastes ("lover") to younger men. Homosexuality as we know it didn't exist in Ancient Greece. Straight and bisexual men could also take part in these relationships. Some men had homosexual urges for their entire lives. Some men could never have any kind of romantic contact with another man after that.


Where did homosexuality start?

Nowhere. Homosexuality is not a 'fad,' or 'game,' 'movement' or anything else of the sort. Homosexuality is a completely normal and natural part of the human being. Some people prefer the opposite sex, some prefer the same. It depends on the person, really. In some men, they are homosexual because of the overdose in feminine hormones his mother's body gave him for any number of reasons, but other than that there really is no telling where it comes from. Some men or women have traumatizing relationships, memories or situations in their lives that drive them mentally away from the opposite sex, so they turn to their own for relationships. Some, for any number of reasons may find the idea of the opposite genitalia disgusting or disturbing, and some just like the shape of their own gender better. Some people aren't homosexual, but they fall in love with someone of the same gender and decide they don't want anyone else, ever. Some people just look for the person they want to spend the rest of their life with, and look wherever they can until they find them. There are a million variations on the same subject, but no matter where you look, you aren't going to find a 'starting point' to being gay. *Random fact, there are over 300 species of mammal, primates, fish, and a few birds that also practice homosexuality, and in a few of them, those relationships are life-long.
