The concept of homosexuality has existed for centuries in one form or another.
Some terms come up when discussing the history of homosexuality.
The first is pedagogic. This is a term associated with middle age times and before. Though in good intention, there is a strong association of this student -teacher relationship with one of intimacy. A second term in relation to homosexuality that dates beyond the middle ages is pedantry. This simply means a love for young boys, an apparent feeling among elder men in their pedagogic lifestyles.
