Erastes & Eromenos (Lover & Beloved)

I am so shaken up about the men and their fetish with little boys. It is plain creepy but any ways...

"But very soon he is back in that tempest, and in a new role: instead of being eyed, nude in the gymnasium, he is himself cruising around younger boys, in the same places, nosing out his prey. Transformed from eromenos into erastes, he would finally discover, as a lover, what it means to be possessed by love. Only the lover is entheos, says Plato. Only the lover is "full of god.""

This got me thinking. Ill explain more after dinner!

Sorry for the delay! I feel people go through this in immature relationships that most often don't work out. One person is the lover the other the beloved. You do as they wish to make them happy, act as a slave(extreme but true), act as they wish you to, etc. Until you grow up and then become the lover. Hopefully finding someone who has also once been the beloved and can understand more in depth... Aka don't go for a younger lover or you will be forced to be the lover:P
