At least you didn't say fascinating.
According to a scholar in biblical Greek who I had the privilege to listen to for several weeks, this is similar to the practice that St. Paul criticized in the passage that many quote as a condemnation of homosexuality. Well-to-do Greek men, who were usually married and had families, would take a young male as a protege' and include sexual relations as part of the relationship.
