INCEST OFFENDERS VS. CHILDREN: PREMARITAL COITUS

27th March 2009

A “middle of the road” tendency is seen in the accumulative incidence of premarital coitus displayed by the incest offenders vs. children. However, since in all groups marriage is frequently preceded by coitus with the fianc?e, and since all the incest offenders married, ultimately 96 per cent of the incest offenders vs. children had premarital coitus.

This increase in coitus as marriage nears is seen in the age-specific incidence of premarital coitus with companions. The proportions for these offenders are moderate until age-period 21-25 when they rise to fourth place with a figure of 86 per cent, and in the following period every male still single was having coitus.

The age-specific incidence of premarital coitus with prostitutes is moderate except from twenty-one to twenty-five, when these offenders rank second with 77 per cent of their members involved.

Early in life their coital frequencies before marriage are moderate; subsequently they developed higher frequencies, especially between ages twenty-six to thirty, when the average (median) incest offender vs. children ranks second with a frequency of slightly over once a week. The great bulk of this was with companions.

The frequency of premarital coitus with prostitutes was relatively high at ages sixteen to twenty, putting these offenders in second rank in mean frequency (about once in three weeks) and fourth in median frequency (6 per year). At other ages their frequencies are unexceptional, often being close to or less than those of the control group.

The incest offenders vs. children are not distinctive in the average (median) number of companions and prostitutes with whom they had had coitus. However, they are unusual in two other respects. First of all, they had coitus with a very large number of prostitutes prior to marriage (18, a number shared only by the aggressors vs. children). However, they show no early predilection for paid contacts, for only a moderate number (21 per cent) had their first coitus with a prostitute.

Second, the average number of extramarital partners is low (four) despite the fact that such a large proportion of them had extramarital coitus.

In their early teens these offenders derived a quarter of their total sexual outlet from premarital coitus with companions, far exceeding the other incest offenders in this respect. Indeed, in early life these men tend to rank fairly high—fourth or fifth—and in age-period 26-30 they obtained nearly half of their orgasms from this source, consequently ranking second.

Concerning proportion of total outlet drawn from premarital coitus with prostitutes, these offenders rank second in age-period 16-20 with 9 per cent; third in the following age-period with 13 per cent; and occupy intermediate positions in the rank-orders thereafter. It is worth noting that between ages sixteen and twenty-five all three of the incest-offender groups rank high in the proportion of total outlet constituted by premarital coitus with prostitutes.

While we find nothing unusual in the circumstances of their first coitus, more of these offenders than those of any other group reported that their initial coitus was unpleasant. Only 46 per cent (the smallest recorded proportion) recalled it as definitely enjoyable, while 37 per cent (the largest proportion) found it either unpleasant or only slightly pleasurable. Even the most homosexually oriented group, the homosexual offenders vs. adults, found more pleasure in their first coitus.

An examination of the restraints on premarital coitus reported by these offenders reveals only one fact worth noting: they were strongly desirous of coitus; only 9 per cent reported a lack of interest or satiation—the smallest percentage in this category. Fifty-seven per cent, a moderate figure, stated that lack of opportunity was a strong factor in restraining their activity. This does not mean that, as a group, they were socially inept, since they reported an average number of petting and coital partners and an average number of female companions including sexual partners. Nor did any particularly large or small number report moral restraints or fear of consequences.
