"On the night of their wedding, Spartan wives were expected to lie in a dark room and dress as a man - presumably to help their husbands make the transition from homosexual to heterosexual love."

"In cities such as Sparta and Thebes, there appeared to be a particularly strong emphasis on relationships between men and youths, and it was considered an important part of their education"

It certainly played ab important part in my education!

Thanks to both you guys for an interesting and civil disagreement that made me do a little research on my own.
