First let me explain that Parker Rossman was a "self-hating" pederast, who felt that he (and other pederasts) are "mentally disturbed" and that psychologists and psychiatrists understood "what was wrong with them" -- which is patently false. Still, his publications give much useful information on "the pederast experience" and "the problem of pederasty".
Parker Rossman was author of one of the three only book-length general studies of Greek love in English, Sexual Experience Between Men and Boys (1976),[2] and a novel, Pirate Slave(1977)
Sexual Experience Between Men and Boys: Exploring the Pederast Underground
Parker RossmanGeorge Parker Rossman (1919-2013) was a Doctor of Divinity at Yale University, Connecticut, and a Protestant minister, who wrote on a rich variety of subjects. Besides an adventure novel, Pirate Slave (1977), which came no nearer to being pederastic than depicting bonding between the boy hero and a pirate captain, he authored two books and two articles on Greek love. One of the articles, “Le Vice” in Turkey (1966), a history of pederasty in that country, and the first book, Boys for Sale: A Study of the Prostitution of Young Boys for Sexual Purposes (1969) co-authored with Dennis Drew, were written under the nom de plume of Jonathan Drake, but the rest were under his real name.
Sexual Experience between Men and Boys, was originally published by Association Press in New York 1976 with the subsidiary titleExploring the pederast underground. A British edition with only the main title was published by Maurice Temple Smith in London in 1979 from which all the extracts on this website are taken. It is much Rossman’s most important work, being one of the only three book-length general studies of Greek love ever published in English.
Though Rossman was well-travelled, and a few of his chapters are explicitly concerned with Greek love in countries other than the USA, it should be pointed out that, despite purporting to be a general study of the phenomenon, most of his book is heavily weighted toward that one country in the fifteen years before publication that he says he had been investigating it. This shows in both his source material and his implicitly expected readership.
