 Celsus's Decircumcision Operation
It is highly likely that wealthy educated, newly apostate Jews attempted to gain Greek citizenship for their sons, which carried with it the double advantage of exemption from the laographia, a tax levied on all males who were not Greek citizens,' and social recognition.
The criterion for full Greek citizenship or, next best, a reduced rate of payment of the laographia was an education as an ephebos in the gymnasium.' Second-generation Hellenized Jews probably abandoned circumcision entirely.
To sum up, circumcision, associated particularly but not exclusively with the Jews, constituted an embarrassment in the Roman world of the first century A.D. For Jews and other circumcised individuals who wished to pass as normal in their society.

 Ephebophilia - QuickSeek Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Ephebophilia has been variously defined as a sexual preference in which an adult is primarily or exclusively sexually attracted to postpubescent adolescents; that same preference limited to men who are sexually attracted to adolescent boys; or a criminal behavior consisting of sexual abuse of pubescent or post-pubescent minors.
It comes from the Greek έφηβος (ephebos) variously defined as "one arrived at puberty," "a youth of 18 who underwent his dokimasia and was registered as a citizen (Athens)," and "arriving at man's estate;" and φιλία (philia) "love/friendship".
Ephebophilia, as most strictly defined, refers only to an attraction, not to sexual activity (although sexual activity can be involved).
