All our heterosexual aggressors vs. children had had premarital petting experience. Between puberty and fifteen (inclusive) about three fourths had petted—this is the fourth largest percentage and it is probably significant that all three of the heterosexual-aggressor groups fall in the upper four ranks at this period of life. It may be that a larger number of persons with aggressive tendencies launch into early sexual activity than persons with less aggression. This high proportion is rather unexpected, as we have seen, since the aggressors vs. children, as a group, reached puberty late; they are moderately belated in maturation. Between sixteen and twenty the emphasis on petting reaches its height: all of them petted within that time span. In calculating accumulative incidence (the percentage with experience in an activity by a given age) we find these aggressors ranking second by age sixteen with 88 per cent, a proportion second only to that of their brothers, the aggressors vs. minors. By age eighteen they have dropped to fourth rank.
In keeping with the high incidence of petting experience, the aggressors vs. children engaged in petting with a moderately large number of girls, the average aggressor having petted with 26. However, nearly a third of these men had petted with five or fewer, and this is undoubtedly a manifestation of their ineptitude at getting along with girls, for despite their good adjustment during their childhood years, by the time they were sixteen to seventeen they had few female companions. At that age, one quarter of them, the third largest percentage, reported having none at all, and only a slightly larger number reported having had many. In short, the heterosexual aggressors vs. children had the next to the worst record insofar as female companionship at ages sixteen and seventeen is concerned.
We have in our sample too few aggressors vs. children who had experienced orgasm in petting to permit the calculation of meaningful average frequencies. Within any given age-period (e.g., ages sixteen to twenty), there were never as many as ten who had petted to orgasm— and we feel calculations based on less than ten individuals are risky. It is, however, worth noting that the frequencies of petting to orgasm reported by these few individuals were almost always very low. This is in keeping with the scarcity of petting partners and female companions remarked upon earlier.
We have seen that as a group the aggressors vs. children were relatively given to mouth-genital contact in their prepubertal play, and in postpubertal life they continued to have more mouth-genital activity than most other groups. This emphasis on mouth genital contact is characteristic of all aggressors. However, the aggressors vs. children display some unusually strong preferences as to the type of mouth-genital contact. Very few (8 per cent) placed their mouths on the genitalia (cunnilingus) of female companions before marriage, whereas in the other aggressor groups from one quarter to one third of their members did so; yet in terms of the premarital female partner’s placing the mouth on their genitalia (fellation), the aggressors vs. children had 28 per cent with such experience—the third largest percentage, exceeded only by the two other aggressor groups.
This same sharp distinction between cunnilingus and fellation is also seen in their relations with prostitutes: of those who had ever paid a woman for sex none had cunnilingus (whereas 5 per cent of the other aggressors did), though half (the fourth highest figure) were fellated by prostitutes. The other aggressors also rank high, first and second, in fellation.
Of the married males, the same number had experienced cunnilingus and fellation with their wives—26 per cent, a moderate to small proportion. The other aggressors show almost double that percentage.
All this suggests that here we are dealing with a group of people strongly interested in mouth-genital contact, but also deeply imbued with an attitude common at a lower social and economic level: that it is degrading to perform cunnilingus, but to be fellated is most desirable.
Similarly these aggressors were inhibited in another oral activity-biting or nibbling during sexual activity. Only 22 per cent had done so, this being the third smallest percentage for this behavior.
