Pederasty

From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository

English: In the classic and academic sense, pederasty refers to the erotic relationship between an adult male and an adolescent boy. Such relationships may be sexually expressed or not, consensual or nonconsensual, sentimental or commercial, and their legality will vary depending on local age of consent laws and prohibitions on homosexuality. The term can also be employed of the attraction of the man to the boy, whether or not reciprocated.

Deutsch: Der Begriff Päderastie bezieht sich im klassischen und akademischen Sinn auf Liebesbeziehungen zwischen erwachsenen Männern und geschlechtsreifen Jugendlichen. Diese Beziehungen können sexuell geprägt sein oder auch nicht, freiwillig oder unfreiwillig, sentimental oder käuflich. Ihre Legalität ist von den jeweiligen Schutzaltersgrenzen und Gesetzen zur Homosexualität abhängig.

Français : Le mot pédérastie renvoie à la relation amoureuse entre un homme adulte et un garçon adolescent, que celle-ci se traduise ou non par des rapports sexuels, qu'elle soit ou non de type consensuel, de nature sentimentale ou bien marchande. La légalité de telles relations dépend des lois en matière de protection des mineurs et des interdits concernant l'homosexualité, variables d'un État à l'autre. Le terme peut également servir à désigner l'attirance d'un homme pour un garçon, que cette dernière soit réciproque ou non.

Português: No senso clássico e acadêmico, pederastia refere-se a relação erótica entre um homem adulto e um garoto adolescente. Tal relação pode ser seualmente expressada ou não, consensual ou não consensual, sentimental ou comercial, e a sua legalidade irá variar dependendo do local, leis e proibições da homossexualidade. O termo também pode ser empregado para a atração física de um homem para um garoto, recíproca ou não.

Español: La pederastia (del griego país o paidós: «niño» o «muchacho» y eran: «querer») es la y la práctica sexual abusiva y delictiva entre un varón adulto y un menor de edad.

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). 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.
