The premarital coital history of the homosexual offenders vs. children is one of a slow increase with ultimately 75 per cent (the second smallest proportion) having had premarital coitus by the age at which they were interviewed. The median individual was thirty-six years old at interview.

Like all homosexual offenders, these men have low age-specific incidence figures for premarital coitus with companions. Usually they rank third or fourth lowest with from 52 to 69 per cent of them reporting such coitus within any five-year age-period between ages sixteen and thirty-five. The age-specific incidence of premarital coitus with prostitutes is also small, which is typical of all homosexual offenders. After age fifteen only about one quarter to one third of these still unmarried offenders had recourse to prostitutes within any five-year age-period.

In comparison to other groups a greater reliance upon prostitutes rather than companions is seen in the frequencies of premarital coitus. In coitus with companions they display low to intermediate frequencies (the median being around once every three weeks or slightly less) but in coitus with prostitutes they rank high: the average (median) homosexual offender vs. children is third between ages sixteen and twenty (once every seven weeks) and first between twenty-one and thirty (almost once in three weeks). Between twenty-six and thirty they are the only ones whose average (median) coital frequency with prostitutes exceeds that with companions.

A study of the average number of the premarital coital partners reveals that the homosexual offenders vs. children exceed the control group in numbers of both types: companions and prostitutes. In the number of prostitutes with whom they had premarital coitus they tie for fourth place (16 prostitutes) with the incest offenders vs. adults. This ranking is due to the fact that so many homosexual offenders vs. children remained unmarried that they had more years of premarital life available in which to build up the number of prostitute partners. Why did they not correspondingly accumulate a relatively large number of nonprostitute partners (companions)? First, nonhomosexually inclined individuals built up such a massive “lead” in the number of coital companions that even with their longer lives as single men the homosexual offenders vs. children could not surpass them. Second, men who subscribe to the old “good girl vs. bad girl” moral dichotomy (as do the incest offenders) or men who find it difficult to establish sexual relationships with ordinary females (as do the exhibitionists, heterosexual offenders vs. children, and homosexual offenders) tend to depend in premarital life more on prostitutes than upon companions for sexual outlet. The predominantly homosexual male is, moreover, not infrequently apt to go to a prostitute in the hope that this will help “cure” his homosexuality, or to prove to himself or others that he is heterosexually functional, or out of simple curiosity.

While more given to heterosexual activity than the other homosexual offenders, the homosexual offenders vs. children derived relatively small proportions of their total orgasms from premarital coitus with companions. They always are found near the bottom of the rank-orders with figures ranging from 5 to 14 per cent. The proportion of total outlet drawn from premarital coitus with prostitutes is also small, never exceeding 10 per cent.

As one might expect, one of the major factors that inhibited premarital coitus was a lack of interest in heterosexuality: the homosexual offenders rank first, second, and third in a rank-order of the percentages of those who gave this as their principal reason. Forty-nine per cent (third in rank-order) of the homosexual offenders vs. children reported disinterest. It at first appears odd that they also rank high in reporting moral considerations (fourth, with 30 per cent), fear of pregnancy (second, with 17 per cent), and fear of public opinion (fourth, with 12 per cent) as being important inhibiting factors. This, on further consideration, is not so strange: a person trained to look upon premarital coitus as sinful and ruinous to one’s reputation is apt to have a restrained premarital coital history, and this attitude and restraint combined might predispose him toward homosexuality. As we have said before, society through its efforts to discourage premarital heterosexual activity automatically fosters homosexuality.
