>>Socrates's description of it verging on pornograpy


Pornograpy, the little-known technique of making wine from prostitutes, is mentioned only in the fragments of Heraclitus, and there only en passant.

As for Socrates and boys, the connection between eros and learning was recognized by the ancient Greeks. Guy Davenport takes up the topic in his essay "Eros, His Intelligence," from _The Hunter Gracchus_, p. 135.
