I don't think so.

I think they saw it as recreational, not relational, sex. The one was casual, the other commitmental. Most Greek men were in fact bisexual, being married and having homosexual lovers on the side, or having them before marriage often while serving in the military, but abandoned them when they returned to get married and enter the mature stages of their lives.

I haven't made a detailed study of homosexuality in Classical Greece, but that's my understanding from such reading as I have done.
