<< Animal Contacts >>

Animal contacts are largely confined to farm boys. Of the boys who will ever be involved, a third have had their first contacts by nine years of age; but between 10 and 12 there is a more rapid increase in the active incidence figures. The level which is reached in these years is never again equalled, either in pre-adolescence or in adolescent or in later years. In about a third of the cases, there is direct continuity between the pre-adolescent and the adolescent experiences with animal intercourse.
