EARLY SEX KNOWLEDGE: KNOWLEDGE OF POSTPUBERTAL FEMALE GENITALIA

by admin on March 30th, 2009. Filed under Men's Health-Erectile Dysfunction

The age at which males first saw the genitalia of a female with pubic hair provides some insight into the cultural conditions, especially in terms of permissiveness or repressiveness, in which they spent their early lives. Among those who first had this experience before age eleven, the three heterosexual-aggressor groups occupy the first three ranks with from 30 to 44 per cent. This suggests an early interest. The control group and the incest offenders vs. adults, two sexually restrained groups, occupy the bottom of the rank-order with 15 and 11 per cent respectively, and the heterosexual offenders vs. adults (19 per cent) are near the bottom.

Turning to the other extreme, and examining a rank-order of those who had never seen postpubertal female genitalia, one finds that the three homosexual-offender groups lead with from 8 to 11 per cent. One may speculate as to whether this represents disinterest or the repression of memory. The peepers occupy fourth rank with 7 per cent; these must be the unsuccessful peepers.

In a ranking of those who first saw adult female genitalia at a late date, at age nineteen or later, the top four ranks are occupied by incest offenders and homosexual offenders—i.e., the inhibited and the disinterested.

The age-period during which the initial sight of postpubertal female genitalia occurs most commonly is 15-18 inclusive: the ages when heterosexual activity is blossoming into more advanced petting techniques and coitus.

In addition to the matter of age, the question of how these males gained their first sight is of interest. Again we are plagued with many instances where the data were not gathered, but nevertheless certain trends may be seen.

The major situation, which held true in from 32 to 65 per cent of the cases, is that of nonmarital coitus. A study of rank-order provides little meaningful information. The two highest ranking groups, heterosexual offenders vs. minors and adults, one will recall, also ranked very high in incidence of premarital coitus; the lowest ranking groups, peepers and homosexual offenders vs. adults, had low incidence of premarital coitus.

The next most common source of first sight of genitalia is a situation involving accidental circumstances—the source for from 0 to 23 per cent of the males. Again a comparison of percentages yields little.

Other sources are of minor importance, and only two phenomena merit attention. First, marital coitus as a source of first sight of postpubertal female genitalia is significant only for our most restrained group, the incest offenders vs. adults (17 per cent). Second, peeping was a substantial source (29 per cent) only among peepers; no other group exceeds 11 per cent.

The female seen was usually not a relative of the male. From 3 to 19 per cent reported their first sight was of their mothers, up to 11 per cent (excluding one group because of the small sample size) mentioned their sisters, and up to 13 per cent other female relatives. No particular trends or clusterings are evident except for a definite tendency for the peepers, and a lesser tendency for the aggressors, to have seen the genitalia of related females: mothers, sisters, and other relatives.
