EXHIBITIONISTS: PREMARITAL COITUS
Only a moderate number had premarital coitus by any given age, the percentages usually being only slightly more than those of the control group. Similarly the age-specific incidence figures are moderate: between ages sixteen and thirty-five some 62 to 73 per cent of the bachelor exhibitionists were having premarital coitus with companions.
The exhibitionists had the third largest proportion of men who had had coitus with prostitutes (78 per cent), and judging by the accumulative incidence, they would eventually add another 10 per cent to this number. By age sixteen a low-intermediate percentage (44 per cent) was experienced, but year by year the exhibitionists rise in rank-order, achieving a high-intermediate status by age twenty and thereafter. In age-specific incidence the exhibitionists are noteworthy only in that after age thirty more men were involved with prostitutes than with companions.
Frequencies of premarital coitus with companions were always moderate: about 34 times a year (among those having coitus) between puberty and fifteen, and about 20 times a year thereafter.
The importance of premarital coitus with prostitutes is seen in the frequency data. The average (median) exhibitionist’s frequencies at various age-periods are always to be found in the upper half of the rank-orders, increasing from about 5 a year to about 25 by the fourth decade of life. More striking, however, is the mean frequency: here the exhibitionists rise from fourth rank (age-period 16-20) to third (to age twenty-five), and finally to second rank in age-periods 26-30 and 31-35 when during the latter period the frequency reaches its maximum of nearly once a week. Until age thirty-six the exhibitionists usually exceed die control group in frequency of premarital coitus with prostitutes, both in terms of median and mean, although the differences are usually small. This relative emphasis on prostitution is again clearly seen in the average (median) number whose first postpubertal coitus was with a prostitute: 30 per cent, the second largest percentage. This same phenomenon is once more observed in a count of number and type of coital partners; the exhibitionists rank third in the number of prostitutes (17) with whom coitus was had in premarital life. The average number of nonprostitutes was 11, a moderate number exceeding that of the control group but much less than that of the prison group. The proportion of total outlet afforded by premarital coitus with companions is always moderate, ranging from 16 to 31 per cent. In their teens the exhibitionists derived more of their total outlet in this way than did the control group, but after age twenty the situation was reversed.
The proportion of total sexual outlet derived from premarital coitus with prostitutes is moderate to age twenty-five, but relatively large thereafter. The exhibitionists rank second in age-period 26-30 with 16 per cent of their orgasms derived from this source, and second again in age-period 31-35 with 26 per cent. In the latter period the proportion of outlet with prostitutes exceeds that with companions—an unusual situation that emphasizes the role of prostitution in the lives of these men.
Examination of the percentages of exhibitionists who reported various restraints on premarital coitus (lack of opportunity, morality, fear of disease, etc.) as having been important inhibiting factors does not show them to be outstanding in any way; just as in their coital histories, they seem to gravitate toward the average.
