"Age-stratified male-male sexual relations in Islamic societies have lacked the pedagogical warrant (rationalization) exemplified in ancient Greece and, until recently, New Guinea, in which the boy 'graduates' through sexual service into recognition of his full development to adult manhood (see Herdt, 1984).
