A larger proportion (one third) of the aggressors vs. minors had had specifically sexual contact with animals than any other group. To be sure, only nine individuals constituted this third (hence frequencies are not analyzed), but we feel reasonably safe in attributing an unusual incidence of animal contact to the group as a whole. This incidence is more impressive when one realizes that their background is not notably rural. In age-specific incidence these aggressors rank first by large margins in the two age-periods (puberty-15 and 16-20) for which we have data, a huge 25 per cent being involved in the first period and 17 per cent in the last. These percentages are more than half again as large as the next largest. In their early teens these men ranked fourth in the proportion of total sexual outlet derived from contact with animals, the proportion being 2 per cent.
The incidence is not foreshadowed by nor reflected in the masturbation fantasy or dream content of these sex offenders; none had such fantasy and only one individual dreamed of animal contact. This lack of any obvious psychologic component to their sexual activity with animals fits in with our general concept of the aggressors vs. minors as being unusually sexually active individuals who are relatively uninhibited and, so to speak, willing to “try anything for kicks.” Note their high incidence of homosexual experience. Some aggressive males pride themselves on their indiscriminate sexuality and diversity of experience. Indeed, society (or, to be accurate, the adult males in society) renders such polymorphous persons a curious mixture of approval and disapproval. Like the approval accorded the ultravirile frontiersman, who claims a willingness to do battle with man, beast, or the devil himself, there is a sort of approval bestowed on the man who is willing to “take on” sexually anything animate. This social attitude is reflected in some folkloristic slogans stating that everything should be judged only by whether it is suitable for eating or sexual gratification, and also in some pornographic cartoon strips, in which a man frustrated in heterosexual attempts turns to homosexuality and/or animal contacts.
