>You are getting your information on the lives of famous historical figures from the antique equivalent of tabloids
Ah yes, Plutarch, the antique equivalent of a tabloid writer.
>The laws which existed prohibiting this behavior suggest more clearly what the society found to be acceptable than the racy accounts you have from senators
Can you post these laws instead of just vaguely hinting towards them?
>"early/middle Roman history" What? Empire? Republic? Monarchy?
I'm sure you understand the concept of "early" and "middle", and know that Rome was a civilization with a finite existence. The laws against sex with freeborn males were instituted during the Republican period, but these laws were rarely enforced and the practice of pederasty had not yet become abhorred (as evidenced by the fact that people worshiped Hadrian's deified lover). Towards the end of Rome's existence, the practice of pederasty increasingly became controversial (coinciding with massive, documented racial replacement), and after Christianization it was outlawed. So it was only after being ethnically replaced with brown people and adopting a brown, Jewish religion that neo-Romans turned against pederasty.
>These "handful" of Greek philosophers that condemned sexual pederasty are coincidentally the most important Greek philosophers with extant records
The Greek philosopher we have the most extant writings of, Aristotle, does not condemn pederasty. Plato himself believed that the common man was ignorant and should be ruled over by an aristocracy headed by a philosopher king. The majority of 19th century philosophers believed in ontological idealism. The opinions of philosophers are rarely representative of mainstream opinion.
>Strange that they would be immortalized by thousands of scribes through the millennia if their views on such an "important" and "widespread" institution were idiosyncratic musings
This is precisely the reason why their writings would be immortalized by scribes.
