Pederasty
El término «pederastia» se ha visto confundido con otros dos conceptos:
- Homosexualidad masculina: Por malinterpretación de los textos clásicos griegos, «pederasta» ha introducido el matiz semántico de la homosexualidad masculina.
- Paidofilia o pedofilia: A pesar de que etimológicamente significan lo mismo (ya que ambas se basan en paidós: «niño» o «adolescente»), la pedofilia no se refiere al abuso sexual, sino a la mera tendencia sexual o atracción entre un hombre adulto y un adolescente (en Grecia generalmente un erastes y su pupilo). Este uso es distinto del uso comun en los paises de habla inglesa, donde "pedofilia" se refiere a la atracción y contacto sexual entre un adulto y una persona de menos de trece años. Al primar en el mundo civilizado un Derecho penal de acto, y no un Derecho penal de autor, se castiga la pederastia pero no la pedofilia, es decir, el abuso sexual real y no la mera tendencia sexual.
