HOMOSEXUAL ACTIVITY: AGE PREFERENCE

Questions concerning age preference for males were asked only of persons with more than incidental experience; consequently we shall deal here solely with the three homosexual-offender groups, the only groups where such persons constitute a majority. Even so, we are plagued with large numbers of unknowns—instances where the interviewer failed to ask for or record the desired data.

It appears that the majority of homosexual offenders would prefer sexual contact with adults, and particularly young adults, just as do the heterosexual-offender, control, and prison groups; only the gender of object differs. However, we did find that some homosexual offenders preferred younger males, and that these preferences correlate with their offense behavior.5 More offenders vs. children preferred children (29 per cent), fewer offenders vs. minors (9 per cent), and very few offenders vs. adults (1 per cent). Similarly, more offenders vs. minors preferred minors (47 per cent), and more offenders vs. adults preferred males in their thirties or over.

In addition to questions as to preference, men with more than incidental homosexual experience were usually asked the age of their youngest male sexual partner since they themselves were at least eighteen years old. Again the number of cases where the question was not asked is large enough to make our statements only tentative.

Seventy-three per cent of the homosexual offenders vs. children admitted to homosexual contact with children (though we assume that most had in fact had such contact), but only 38 per cent of the homosexual offenders vs. minors, had contact with a boy aged eleven or younger. Only 9 per cent of the homosexual offenders vs. adults had had contact with children, but a third had had sexual experience with boys aged twelve to fifteen.

It is clear despite the limitations of our data that there is a tendency among homosexual offenders, even among the offenders vs. adults, to have some sexual contact with very young males.
