HOMOSEXUAL OFFENDERS VS. CHILDREN: EXTRAMARITAL AND POSTMARITAL COITUS

Fewer of the married homosexual offenders than the married members of any other group had extramarital coitus; the homosexual offenders vs. minors, with 39 per cent experienced, fall midway between the two other homosexual-offender groups. In age-specific incidence of extramarital coitus with companions they are always in the lower third of the rank-orders. Concerning extramarital coitus with prostitutes they present moderate incidence figures (14-22 per cent) until age thirty-five, after which this commercial activity ceased abruptly.

The frequencies of extramarital coitus, calculated only for those who had such coitus, are moderate to low. The average (median) offender had it with six females—a moderate number. The proportion of total outlet derived from extramarital coitus is the smallest reported by any group, never more than 3 per cent.

As one might guess, comparatively few of the homosexual offenders vs. minors continued to have heterosexual coitus after their marriages broke up. Some 72 to 86 per cent did so, but these are relatively small figures. Those with postmarital coitus had such activity with rather low frequencies—0.4 to 0.6 a week—and twice rank lowest of all in this respect. Consequently, only a small proportion of their total sexual outlet (roughly one quarter to one third) was derived from postmarital coitus with companions. Some 6 to 13 per cent of their orgasms between ages twenty-six and forty-five were from postmarital coitus with prostitutes; in this respect they are not unusual, although it is a bit surprising to find them ranking second (with 9 per cent) in age-period 26-30.
