Shattering the Myth of Ancient Greek "Pederasty"

this isn't the first time I've seen information like this, but I do have a question: what is the age of adulthood? or, when does it begin?

I ask because different nations have a different legal age of what begins adulthood (smoking, drinking, marriage, enlisting in a military group, etc)...but then biologically I believe it's just when puberty ends. that'd be when you stop "growing" in terms of height...but that muddies the water (you can change height through biokinesis if/when you're strong enough).

is there a race-wide age of starting adulthood? is it an individual's maturity? is it something else?

When woman stop growing in height as a teenager they'd grow more in width (wider hips etc) so taking that as a measurement would be inaccurate.

I and many others have had enough of listening to Karlos Maza's stinky ass and how gay he is. We really do not care. We do not want to experiment either, nor incessant TV and Netflix. I am not convinced someone just bending over becomes superman either. I am not convinced acting like what people define as a "fag" makes you special. You do not have higher IQ because you act like a girl, or transition through body modification into one, sorry.

You are not Alexander simply because you feel a commonality with the claims around him on gayness.

This was as amusing as reading a transcript of a camille paglia talk. It was everywhere. I dont claim to nor want to be Alexander or Mozart nor assume any orientation is more prone to being the next Alexander or mozart.

My thoughts are...
For now, at least, we could take the meaning of "virgin", as an analogy, from Extra Virgin Olive Oil -

Virgin means the oil was made by simply pressing olives. It didn't undergo any of the industrial processes used to make 'refined' oils such as canola, sunflower, soybean and the lower grades of olive oil labeled 'Pure,' 'Light,' and simply 'Olive Oil.'
https://www.oliveoiltimes.com/extra-virgin-olive-oil

Extrapolating and translating this into the psycho*-sexual/spiritual sense, it can mean, very simply, that there isn't any brainwashing, factory-processed "teaching" of things being done, such as being directed into one way of thinking instead of being allowed and able to think for yourself; rather, Natural Spiritual Education and Learning has taken place; there is no biased, corrupt opinions and ideas being drummed in to someone's head with many impurities alike; rather, actual Spiritual Gnosis is learned and gained, with wisdom, Naturally.

Be careful not to be confused with Gnosticism, "a prominent heretical movement of the 2nd-century Christian Church, partly of pre-Christian origin. Gnostic doctrine taught that the world was created and ruled by a lesser divinity, the demiurge, and that Christ was an emissary of the remote supreme divine being, esoteric knowledge (gnosis) of whom enabled the redemption of the human spirit." and

Gnosticism (from Ancient Greek: γνωστικός gnostikos, "having knowledge", from γνῶσις gnōsis, knowledge) is a modern name for a variety of ancient religious ideas and systems, originating in Yehuborim-Christian milieux in the first and second century AD. These systems believed that the material world is created by an emanation or 'works' of a lower god (demiurge), trapping the divine spark within the human body. This divine spark could be liberated by gnosis, spiritual knowledge acquired through direct experience.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnosticism

When I say "Gnosis", I mean knowledge, understanding, wisdom and application of "occult" Spirituality.

We're not "refined", in this sense; we're Natural and Spiritual. This industrial "refining" is more pressurised, tempered, difficult, labourious with little reward. We don't need to burn-out the impurities through over-working and tiring ourselves out; instead, we need to have balance with all things and increase in a balanced manner carefully.

It's also interesting that oil is used with being "anointed with oil" by a Yehubor-on-a-stick.

Anointing is the ritual act of pouring aromatic oil over a person's head or entire body.[1] By extension, the term is also applied to related acts of sprinkling, dousing, or smearing a person or object with any perfumed oil, milk, butter, or other fat.[2] Scented oils are used as perfumes and sharing them is an act of hospitality. Their use to introduce a divine influence or presence is recorded from the earliest times; anointing was thus used as a form of medicine, thought to rid persons and things of dangerous spirits and demons which were believed to cause disease.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anointing

It is cleanliness, which is holy, godly and healthy. Taken from the jewdaised angle - it is innocence, ignorance.

*there tend to be more arbitrary, subjective opinion-based "definitions" of sexual virginity, including a "proper definition", according to at least one dictionary, of having not been penetrated by a penis; thus, heterosexual males and lesbian females are virgins (I doubt penis-shaped items count, of course). Then does ejaculation and/or orgasm, or the lack thereof, also count as loss of - or giving away of - virginity? "Losing virginity" sounds like you were drunk and misplaced it in Marbella, Ayia Napa, Thailand, etc. or in a seedy alley in a questionable part of town. I don't think people should "lose" their virginity as if it was an accident; they should take better care of it.
 
HP Carlson, do you recommend reading.." A Review of James Neill's Origins and Role of Same-Sex Relations in Human Societies by James O'Meara "

Thank you in advance.

If I could ask, could the clergy clear up the actual original meaning of the word "Virgin" when used in the Pagan sense in regards to Goddesses like Athena and such?

HP. Hoodedcobra666 said:

maybe HP could correct me if im wrong here but i think its been stated by clergy in the past that the ancients version of "virginity" when they spoke of goddesses like athena and stuff had to do with spiritual purity and a lack of dross? that athena represented pure wisdom and it didnt have anything to do with sex.
cause all ive ever heard is people apologetic to xianism trying to claim their obsession with sexual virginity came from roman religion, but i feel like this is a lie. its a thing ive always wanted to see cleared up, because i'm tired of seeing people claim all these weird hangups about never having had sex came from paganism but ive never had enough knowledge to argue otherwise. ive just been assuming its a corrupted idea i guess...
