HOMOSEXUAL OFFENDERS VS. ADULTS: EXTRAMARITAL COITUS
Of those who married, 31 per cent—the smallest percentage recorded—had extramarital coitus. All three homosexual-offender groups present percentages lower than those of other groups. The strong correlation between marital fidelity and homosexuality reflects simply the lesser interest and consequent lesser temptation. Nevertheless, one should not infer from this statement that these men were monogamous. The age-specific incidence of extramarital coitus with companions puts the homosexual offenders vs. adults in the middle of the rank-orders with roughly two fifths of them having had extramarital coitus in every age-period from twenty-one up to thirty-five. Between thirty-six and forty they number only one quarter, and in age-period 41-45 they rank lowest of all with 13 per cent. The age-specific incidence of extramarital coitus with prostitutes is startling. These homosexual offenders occupy third rank from ages twenty-one to thirty, when between one fifth and one quarter of them went to prostitutes, and attain first place with 29 per cent in age-period 31-35. Thereafter they occupy intermediate positions in the rank-orders while the other homosexual offenders are at the bottom with none of their members involved with prostitutes.
The median individual with extramarital coitus had had a surprisingly large number of partners, exceeded by only the aggressors vs. minors. Evidently the small proportion of homosexual offenders vs. adults who married and broke the vows of fidelity carried into their extramarital activity a relative promiscuity more typical of homosexual life.
