Parameters of sexual contact of boys with women

Abstract

The incidence of sexual contact with boys by women was found more prevalent than had been contended in the clinical literature. Male penitentiary inmates reported higher heterosexual contact as children than did college men. The effects upon the boy and his later adult sex life were generally reported as not traumatic, although coercion by the woman tended to be associated with a bad feeling about the experience at the time and a negative effect upon adult sex life. The majority of women were friends, neighbors, baby sitters, and strangers to the boy. Intercourse and genital touching were the predominant forms of sexual activity. Prison women who reported having such contact were significantly higher than the prison women who did not report contact on the Mini-Mult Schizophrenia and Hypomania scales and significantly lower on the Lie scale. Educational levels of the men and their parents were inversely associated with history of sexual contact.

“…As an example, for neutral reactions, they claimed that we coded Condy et al's (1987) "mixed" category and Long and Jackson's (1993) "low" and "ambivalent" responders as neutral reactions, yet nowhere did we reveal this to our readers. This claim is simply false; in Table 7 (Rind et al, 1998, p. 36), we used superscript a for our neutral percents for both of these studies, clarifying the coding procedure.…”

“…In our review, we first examined self-reported negative effects on subjects' current sex lives or attitudes. For males, negative effects ranged from 0.4 percent (Landis, 1956) to 16 percent (Condy et al, 1987). We computed their unweighted mean, obtaining 8.5 percent.…”

An analysis of human sexuality textbook coverage of the psychological correlates of adult‐nonadult sex

“…As noted previously, researchers have generally found either no effects on psychological adjustment or only small effects on a minority of the measures. Furthermore, researchers using college students to measure reactions to these experiences have shown that they are variable, ranging from negative to positive, with about two thirds of men and one third of women on average reacting in a neutral or positive way (Condy, Templer, Brown, & Veaco, 1987;Finkelhor, 1979;Fromuth & Burkhart, 1987;Goldman & Goldman, 1988;Landis, 1956;Li, West, & Woodhouse, 1993;O'Neill, 1990;Schultz & Jones, 1983;Urquiza, 1988). Positive short-term reactions in the nine studies just cited ranged from 6% to 69% for males (M = 39%) and from 2% to 28% for females (M = 14%), indicating a sizable sex difference.…”
