The Ancient Greeks had a completely different view of sexuality than our culture. Donald Hall's book, "Queer Theory" talks about this a little bit. Men could have sex with men as long as the man in the receptive position was of lower status than his partner. If Socrates had sex with Plato, this would have been acceptable so long as Plato was the receptive partner, since Plato was Socrates's younger student, thus, held less social 'power.'
