MORE PUNISHMENT THAN CRIME?

Seattle wants to know where he can find data on crime incidence among homos in the U.S. Has any research been done along this line that compares the criminal incidence of homo and hetero, how many charges against the latter have been criminal as against moral, how many unsolved murders of deviates are at present on the books and a comparison of arrests between male and female homos?

Frequently the mail brings us questions relative to research. Writers ask us to suggest field for inquiry on deviation, for data, sources, book titles, author's names and on and on. Many of these questions we can't answer-but we know our readers can. Below we've gathered a selection of inquiries with the hope that there will be enough answers and further questions to make this a regular feature. We feel it's exciting and know it's important. Scan the following and you'll see what we mean. Just remember we can't forward letters but we'll publish as many as space permits-and that our purposes are those of scientific research solely with the intent of familiarizing the public with the homosexual and homosexual with himself.

Manhattan inquires about statistics on sexual activity as related to phases of the moon. He tells us he's already found that it has a radical influence on sexual activity. Some are extremely stimulated, others erotically depressed-but, one way or the other, the moon appears to affect us all. Read any more about it?

NICE DRIVE IF YOU'VE THE TIME

Another New Yorker asks a very interesting one. Because many pressures frustrate sexual impulses, he asks if there has ever been devised a rating for POTENTIAL sexual capacity; this of course would be wholly unrelated to actual frequency. This concerns the individual not the average. He also asks if any research has been done on the sex drive of homos as opposed to heteros. (He's writing a book.)
