	The program was produced by Allan Ashbolt as an episode of Lateline (unrelated to the later ABC TV series), the show featured a "frank" interview with "three men in their thirties who admitted sex relations with boys, and a teenage boy who said he had been involved in such relationships since he was 12". The ABC's official description of the program was:

	"~~Pederasty,~~ as described by the ~~Penguin English Dictionary~~, is the ~~homosexual relationship~~ of a ~~man with a boy~~. ~~The subject usually creates feelings of revulsion and disgust within most people. The issues raised by such relationships are discussed by three pederasts."~~		The program was produced by Allan Ashbolt as an episode of Lateline (unrelated to the later ABC TV series). One letter to the editor published in ''The Sydney Morning Herald'' described the adult men interviewed as "chuckling" as they described "waiting outside playgrounds to seduce young boys". The broadcast proved controversial, with a tape of the program being sent to police by the politician and ordained Christian minister Fred Nile, who objected to the content. Peter Nixon of the then-National Country Party, called for a public inquiry into the ABC in the program's aftermath.

Asked about the program, ABC chairman Richard Downing initially commented that he had not heard the broadcast himself, but that the ABC's general intention is to "try to inform people about what (is) happening so that they might be forewarned and forearmed". Later, he added: "In general, men will sleep with young boys and that's the sort of thing the community ought to know about". The ABC's ultimate response was to introduce guidelines around the use of "four-letter words" and "crude expressions" while rejecting any new guidelines on program content, with Downing commenting that he wanted ABC staff to be "adventurous and imaginative (but not) titillating".
