In the rank-order of percentages of those with homosexual experience in or out of prison, the aggressors vs. adults are in sixth place (57 per cent), just below the prison group, and in sixth place in a rank-order of those with more than incidental homosexual experience in or out of prison. They owe this moderately high position to their prison experience, as is evident when one examines the percentages of those with homosexual experience outside prison; here the aggressors vs. adults occupy an intermediate position (45 per cent) in the rank-order.
In accumulative incidence, they remain in intermediate positions from ages fourteen to twenty-six. The average (median) aggressor vs. adults had his first homosexual contact when he was nearly fifteen and one half.
In age-specific incidence, the proportion of single aggressors vs. adults who had homosexual activity outside prison is moderate (28-30 per cent) up to age twenty-five. In age-period 26-30 they drop to a low-intermediate level in the rank-order with 14 per cent, and then fall to the bottom of the rank-order with 10 per cent in age-period 31-35. The married men display low-intermediate to high-intermediate percentages up to age thirty and thereafter, like the single men, drop to the bottom of the rank-order in age-period 31—35. (with 0 per cent). In postmarital life the figures vary from low to intermediate.
The aggressors vs. adults are undistinguished in terms of frequency of homosexual contacts (3.4 per year), proportion of total outlet, and number of partners.
When one calculates the frequencies for all unmarried males with homosexual activity during the various five-year age-periods from puberty on, one finds the aggressors vs. adults displaying markedly low frequencies. They had next to the lowest average (mean) frequency before age twenty, and a moderate frequency at twenty-one to twenty-five: the average (median) aggressor vs. adults uniformly ranked next to the lowest in frequencies (about 3 to 5 times a year) from puberty on to age twenty-five, which is as far as our data can be carried for unmarried males.
This group is more tolerant of male homosexuality than most groups (aside from the homosexual offenders, they are the third most tolerant) with 47 per cent disapproving, 12 per cent approving, and with the second largest number (41 per cent) expressing neutrality.
