fines the heterosexual somewhat as follows. A "normal" boy grows up as a non-sexual being until his early adolescence. Then he discovers girls and begins to play around with girls in his early teens, and establishes his heterosexuality through intercourse with a girl either on a date or in marriage. We are told that this is the experience of the majority. This is the "norm," the normal experience of
most.
If this is the definition of the heterosexual, then heterosexuals are definitely a minority. For scientific evidence continues to build up to establish the error of this picture. The "normal' boy's experience is likely somewhat as follows, although to be accurate we must first state emphatically that there is much more variety in typical experience than the establishment's definition would allow
for.

The normal child is a sexual being. He takes great delight in exploring his body and the bodies of others. He becomes a human being, capable of love, through warm bodily contact with parents, both male and female. He continues to grow in his capacity to relate to others through natural body contacts with both males and femaes. Because of the mystery of the female sex organs (his own are no mystery to him because of their availability for all kinds of exploration) and because of the association of female sex organs with generation and birth the typical young boy intuitively turns to his male friends for sexual experience and experimentation. Before puberty and for a time afterwards, nearly all boys associate almost exclusively with males, and although many experiment with sexual adventures with girls, up to age 14 the most satisfactory sex experience is with other boys or men.
The pre-puberty period is not so much homosexual as autosexual. The youngster loves himself, plays with

himself, and finds delight in himself. But as he grows more social at puberty, nearly all boys pass through homosexual and bi-sexual phases. Close friends sleep with each other and experiment with making love to one another. Through this experience some become confirmed as passive homosexuals because of the satisfaction they discover in passive sexual experience. (These are the persons usually considered to be "homosexual" by the heterosexual establishment. But science will not allow us to limit homosexuals, by definition, to passive homosexuals. In fact, the "passive" homosexual likes "active" experience too. And there is no realistic division between active and passive. We are caught up again in the problem of percentages. Is a person "active" when he likes to be passive only 30% of the time?)
But back to the "typical boy.' In his adolescence he is attractive both to boys and girls, and is attracted both to boys and girls. The percentage of experience with boys and girls will depend to a great extent upon the company he keeps. Because of its at least unconscious recognition of widespread homosexual activity, the establishment has in recent years been forcing very young children into coeducation and mixed social experiences. Boys and girls go to dancing school at ten, and shortly are forced into "dating." Y.M.C.A. and even Boy Scout activities are becoming co-educational at an early age. Every effort is being made to push the young boy into the arms of girls in order to prevent the homosexual adolescent play which teaches the youngster how to enjoy homosexual fun for the rest of his life-at least as a sideline.
But it doesn't work. Dancing and ssociation with girls who refuse him sexual liberties because they're "good" girls, simply sends him back to the boys for "more and better" sex. And early furtive sexual experimentation
