Many men in Ancient Greece acted as eromenos ("beloved") to older men from puberty to their late 20's, and then acted as erastes ("lover") to younger men. Homosexuality as we know it didn't exist in Ancient Greece. Straight and bisexual men could also take part in these relationships. Some men had homosexual urges for their entire lives. Some men could never have any kind of romantic contact with another man after that.
