Concerning ourselves with only the statistics based upon individuals with homosexual activity, we see that there are huge differences in number of homosexual partners not only between the homosexual offenders as opposed to other groups, but also between the three homosexual-offender groups. Excluding the latter, the average (median) individual of most of the sex-offender groups and of the control group had had sexual contact with about four males outside prison, whereas the average prison inmate with homosexual experience had nearly twice that many outside the prison walls. These figures are dwarfed by those of the homosexual offenders, the average homosexual offender vs. children having had 19 partners and the offender vs. minors 45. It was impossible to arrive at a figure for the homosexual offenders vs. adults, since their promiscuity was such that they were frequently unable to give precise estimates, but we know that the median would be closer to 200 than 100 partners.
Another useful measurement is the percentage of individuals with homosexual experience who had had such experience with over 75 males. The homosexual offenders cluster at the top of the rank-order with 63, 42, and 22 per cent. Following a gap of over 11 percentage points the prison group is next with 10 per cent, after which there is a gradual seriation down to about 2 per cent. Clustered at the bottom with 0 per cent are six groups, including all the incest offenders, the peepers, and the exhibitionists.
Aside from the clustering of the homosexual offenders at one end of the rank-orders and the incest offenders at the other, and the tendency of the control group to fall in the middle, no other patterns are evident.
