In every one of the six sex-offense types a larger proportion of sexual psychopaths had had sexual contact with animals than had the other offenders. The differences were modest in four instances—a matter of three to six percentage points—but very great in the remaining two. Among the aggressors vs. adults the incidence of animal contact was 43 per cent for the sexual psychopaths (a large figure by any standard) as opposed to 14 per cent for the other offenders. Among the incest offenders the equivalent figures were 36 vs. 10 per cent. In the other sex-offense types the proportions for both the sexual psychopaths and other offenders are essentially one fifth to one quarter.
This trend toward animal contact shown by the sexual psychopaths may reflect a greater experimental interest and/or a certain sexual polymorphy and lability.
