Buggery at Eton

almost inevitable
was taken as normal

but buggery after Eton
was quite unforgivable.

Likewise in Ancient Greece

men with beards tarried
and frotted with beardless
and testosteronal youths
but not with other bearded men
who, inevitably, were married*.

*apart from Diogenes, of  course.
We know about Socrates' hard-done-by wife
but not about the wives of Plato, Aristotle, etc.
