Learn me on the history of homosexuality /his/. I know that in Greek and Roman cultures it wasn't what we envision as homosexuality today at all, but often pederasty or filled with "prison culture" connotations.
But it was still practiced there, and presumably in other pagan societies as well. So here are my main questions:
1. What factors allowed homosexual acts to fall out of style in Rome? Besides Christianity, but speaking of...
2. How come while the rest of the Mediterranean seemed fine with homosexual acts Jews and later Christians took such a harsh stance against it?
3. Was homosexual activity like that in Rome and Greece common in other pagan societies like Scandinavia? Germania?
4. How did these ancient people deal with anal fissures, shitdick, and other "complications" arising from anal sex? What did they use for lube? Why was homosexual sex so prominent despite these factors being drawbacks?

Occurs in nature.
Humans overthink things and attribute cultural values to natural acts

It was never widely accepted, don't believe jewish propaganda

Thanks for not answering my questions.
>Humans overthink things and attribute cultural values to natural acts
Okay cool but I still want to know WHY certain groups attributed good and bad moral values to the act.

So you're saying that if I google "gay Greek pottery" I'm not gonna get dozens of results similar to the one in the OP? For something that was never widely accepted there sure is a lot of art depicting it.

The different city-states had different views on the topic.
If you want to go around having sex with boys, then go to Thebes or Elis. The former is probably the best bet; Thebans are well known as the worst people in all Hellas.

1. infiltration of the local cultures into Roman aristocracy and the adoption of the Marian Reforms opening the army to lower classes (since homosexuality in classical culture was often linked to martial culture)
2. since homosexuality was a Romano Greek practice, early Christens used it as anti-Roman propaganda, as it was aristocratic and imperialist in nature to their eyes
3. Nope, Homosexuality seemingly only develops in highly sectarian martial cultures, ie. Sengoku Japan
4. I assume it would just be, suck it up? Homosexuality mostly developed out of martial culture, so it makes sense that they just took the anal beating. As for shit dick, they had towels, and they probably used some form of oil. As for the last point, if you were stuck in a military regiment, and you were surrounded by fit you twinks, you wouldn't care how your dick got wet.
