EXTRAMARITAL COITUS: FREQUENCY

The median frequencies, calculated only for those with extramarital coitus, are surprisingly uniform up to age forty-five, lying between 4 a year and 20 a year in every age-period. In the late thirties and early forties this uniformity appears to be a case of the ends of the range remaining unchanged, while large gaps develop between groups. The control and prison groups behave differently from each other: the prison group in early life displayed a high frequency of extramarital coitus of nearly 20 per year, but this frequency dwindled to 5 per year by their early forties. The control-group frequencies held constant at 4 to 5 per year from age twenty-one on to forty-five; this is intermediate to low in the rank-orders. Little can be said regarding trends or clusterings: between ages twenty-one and thirty-five the incest offenders tend to concentrate in the lower portions of the rank-orders.

The median frequencies of extramarital coitus with companions are similar, but the positions of the various groups in the rank-orders change because certain groups were more predisposed than others to have extramarital coitus with prostitutes.

Average frequencies of extramarital coitus with prostitutes were almost always low: 3 to 5 per year. In only three instances were higher frequencies reported (the highest being 10 per year) and these were by numerically very small groups. Indeed, many frequency calculations were not made because there were too few males in the age-period with commercial extramarital experience.
