==Wilde's Sexuality==
Wilde's sexual orientation has been debated over the years and some considered him as either bisexual, homosexual, and paederastic. Wilde himself felt he belonged to a culture of male love inspired by the Greek paederastic tradition. This tradition believed that it was an adult male's duty to bring boys into manhood via sexuality. In describing his own sexual identity, Wilde used the term Socratic. He may have had significant sexual relationships with Frank Miles, Constance Lloyd (Wilde's wife), Robert Baldwin Ross, and Lord Alfred Douglas. Wilde also had numerous sexual encounters with working-class male youths, who were often called rent boys.
