The term "effeminate" is the Greek word "malakos". It means, ""soft, soft to the touch, of a boy kept for homosexual relations with a man, of a male who submits his body to unnatural lewdness, or male prostitute". It would definitely condemn pedophiliac practices.

I dunno, maybe. Seems like a stretch, to me. But even so, was it not prohibited until the first century? The OT doesn't address it, far as I know, but it's very specific about certain other practices.
