That's a pretty extreme view of what pederasty is. Rape and sodomy were not common at all in Greece and Rome; in fact sodomy was a criminal offence for most of their histories – it was only in latter-day Rome that, due to their slave economy, things turned to hedonism and degeneracy. The Spartan practice of Agoge – warrior men taking up boys to teach – often involved semi-romantic or otherwise partially sexual relationships (fellatio, fondling, etc.), but partly because such a relationship was seen as a strengthening of the bond between the two. The same was in fact the case for many warriors, as is well known. The relationship was seen as a healthy and natural thing; something honest and pure.
More on Pederasty in Greece, from Wikipedia:
>Pederastic art shows seduction scenes as well as sexual relations. In the seduction scenes the man is standing, grasping the boy's chin with one hand and reaching to fondle his genitals with the other. In the sexual scenes, the partners stand embracing face to face, the older of the two engaged in intercrural sex with the younger, who (usually but not always) does not show arousal. Anal sex is almost never shown, and then only as something eliciting surprise in the observers. The practice was ostensibly disparaged, the Athenians often naming it jocularly after their Dorian neighbors ("cretanize," "laconize," "chalcidize"). While historians such as Dover and Halperin hold that only the man experienced pleasure, art and poetry indicate reciprocation of desire, and other historians assert that it is "a modern fairy tale that the younger eromenos was never aroused."
>Pederastic couples were also said to be feared by tyrants, because the bond between the friends was stronger than that of obedience to a tyrannical ruler. Plutarch gives as examples the Athenians Harmodius and Aristogeiton. Others, such as Aristotle, claimed that the Cretan lawgivers encouraged pederasty as a means of population control, by directing love and sexual desire into relations with males.
Pederasty has only really been a seriously disturbing thing in the Middle East – Afghanistan in particular, especially in recent years. Where it's not to much forced, but encouraged for young – 10, 11, 12 year-old – boys to "service" any men at whim, and that includes sodomy. A .webm comes to mind about a Muslim man talking about boy-fucking, telling a story about one such boy who started it off with several older men on a public bus. That sort of shit is pure, unbridled, unrestrained degeneracy, not dissimilar to some of the things the late Romans were accustomed to before their Empire collapsed and Rome was sacked by Alaric the Visigoth and others.
And just to clarify, I'm not defending pederasty, just explaining that it was not some institution of slavery, quite otherwise.
