The idea that having sexual relations with an adolescent was wrong during the time that Paul was writing would have been considered preposterous. Girls were married off when they hit puberty, sometimes before. If he meant to refer only to pederasty, rather than homosexuality in general, he would have used a word to reflect this.

The Greeks and the Romans had an understanding that certain men were attracted to adult men, this isn't something that was only discovered in the late 19th century. It's also irrelevant, because the passage condemns homosexual acts.

The jews were always extremely anti-homosexual, compared to native Europeans who practiced widespread pederasty.
