<< Homosexual Outlet >>

During the early adolescent years, twice as many of the early-maturing boys of this college level are involved in homosexual activities (Table 78). During subsequent age periods, the differences in incidence are not so great. Ultimately about 45 per cent of the early-adolescent boys of this college level have some homosexual experience, while less than 25 per cent of the late-adolescent males are ever involved.

Figure 94. Relation of age at onset of adolescence to accumulative incidence of homosexual outlet

Based on lifetime histories of males of the college level.
Each adolescent group maintains Its relative position for 20 or more years.


On the other hand, the frequencies with which homosexual contacts occur (Table 77) remain at about twice the height for these single males who first became adolescent, at least through the period between adolescence and 25. As a factor in the development of the homosexual, age of onset of adolescence (which probably means the metabolic drive of the individual) may prove to be more significant than the much discussed Oedipus relation of Freudian philosophy.
