Why Greece is the birthplace of homosexuality?

First, there are too many people and insufficient birth control.

As the birthplace of Greek civilization, the natural conditions in most parts of the Greek peninsula are not superior, and the city-state is small. How to keep the population of the polis in a balance point is a problem that many politicians and thinkers often think about. In the era of underdeveloped productive forces, the huge population will cause great pressure on the natural environment, leading to overpopulation and food shortage. In some areas, soil erosion has already occurred due to excessive reclamation. Therefore, due to geographical reasons, Plato proposed in the National Chapter that there are 5040 landowners in the ideal state, and the number remains stable. Aristotle's view in Politics holds that the population of the polis must be controlled. "All well-governed famous city-states must control the population, and it is impossible for an excessively dense population to maintain a certain order."

Once the policy of population proliferation reaches a certain moment, it is imperative to control population growth. In order to help men manage their crotch, East and West have the same idea. Guan Zhong of Qi opened a brothel in the East, and Solon opened a brothel in Athens for people to vent their fire, "to reduce the harassment of juvenile women in the polis and control the increase of illegitimate children".

In addition to brothels, in order to control the disorderly population growth, on the other hand, some densely populated Greek regions are tolerant and supportive of homosexuality. For example, Crete and Scylla in the Aegean Sea live on relatively narrow islands. In order to avoid the consequences of explosive population growth, they hope to control fertility and tolerate or even support the existence of gay men to some extent.

Greece is rich in philosophy kings.

The Greeks are not only a militant people, but also a people who love thinking. Plato and Xenophon also mentioned many homosexual customs in their drinking articles. In the eyes of Greek men, the same sex is the object of spiritual communication, and the semen of adult men means wisdom and experience, so the cocktail party without Ding Bai is also a good place for Greeks to exchange ideas and hook up with gay friends. The root of the name "‘andron'" in the cocktail lounge is "male", which fully illustrates this point.
