<< Other Outlets >>

Apart from masturbation, heterosexual coitus, and the homosexual, the other possible sources of sexual outlet are utilized to about an equal degree by the unmarried males from different adolescent groups. A single instance of such conformance is shown in Table 79, which covers the data for nocturnal emissions. Similarly, there are no fundamental differences between the incidences and frequencies in regard to heterosexual petting, and in regard to that part of the heterosexual intercourse which is had with prostitutes. There is some suggestion in the data that the farm boys who became adolescent first have more animal intercourse, but the number of active cases is too small to allow dependable calculations.

For the married males, the rates of total outlet among the early-adolescent individuals are definitely higher. There is some indication that most of this comes from marital intercourse, but the necessity for a six-way breakdown of the population before correlations can be run puts such a strain on the relatively smaller samples now available for married males, that further analyses cannot be made at this time.
