Отсутствие точных цифр не позволяет понять что вы подразумеваете под словом "высокий". 80%, 90%, 99%, 100%?
По поводу древней Греции:
============================
Ancient Greeks acknowledged homosexuality as an important tool in boys’ education. They institutionalized and regulated its practices within their law codes.
...
On the other hand, if the boy showed an interest in returning the young man’s attention, the two started a friendship. The young man in such a relationship took the responsibility to teach the boy things that schools did not teach—moral rectitude, citizenship, patriotism to the polis, honesty, integrity, courage, etc. The friendship made the boy the eromenos of the man, who was the erastes (crudely, "lover-boy" and "boy-lover," respectively) of the boy. Thereafter, they could appear in public and at social affairs as a pair.
...
If an eromenos accepted a gift, his erastes could initiate sexual relations with him
...
Moreover, Greek warriors, necessarily drawn from the social classes that could afford the expense of their own arms, eagerly sought boy captives as well as women and girls in the chronic warfare of archaic and classical Greece
...
In addition to pedagogical pederastic relationships, boy prostitution concerned lawmakers because it thrived in Greek port poleis as much as did traditional prostitution. 12 Prostitution practiced by a youth, though
not in itself a crime, debarred the person when grown from participating in the Assembly and deprived him of certain other rights of citizenship

A major ingredient of good citizenship, that of good soldiery, thrived in a pederastic relationship with philos. The mutual bond between them incited an erastes to "show off" in acts of heroism for his admiring eromenos to emulate. For this reason, military commanders often posted erastai and eromenoi old enough to be subject to military duty 13 side-by-side. When eromenoi reached that age, their erastai frequently bought their military garb for them.
...
To make his training a little less unendurable, however, he could take a lover either from among his herd or from older boys to provide moral support. The barracks arrangement fostered such coeval and pederastic relationships. 17 The intentional plan counted on homosexual pairs of hoplites 18 standing more firmly shoulder-to-shoulder in their phalanx formation than would comrades less emotionally attached to one another.
