83% OF THE MEN AND 37% OF THE WOMEN HAD NOCTURNAL ORGASM IN DREAMS.

11% OF THE MEN AND 3% OF THE WOMEN WERE AROUSED BY SADO-MASOCHISTIC STORIES.

THERE IS QUITE A DISCONTINUITY IN THE SEX LIFE OF WOMEN, DR. POMEROY POINTED OUT. A LOT OF WOMEN WILL BE SEXUALLY ACTIVE IN THEIR EARLY TEENS, THEN GO FOR YEARS WITH LITTLE OR NO ACTIVITY. MEN, HOWEVER, HAVE A MORE OR LESS REGULAR SEX LIFE FROM THE BEGINNING. MALES HAVE THE HIGHEST SEXUAL DRIVE IN THEIR MID AND LATE TEENS. WOMEN BUILD UP THEIR DRIVE STEADILY INTO THE LATE TWENTIES AND THEN HOLD IT UNTIL AROUND THEIR MID-FIFTIES.

WOMEN

AS MENTIONED BEFORE, THERE ARE FEW FEMALE SEX OFFENDERS, ARE NOT VOYEURS AND THERE ARE FEW OF THEM THAT ARE FETISHISTS.

AN INTERESTING SIDELIGHT IS THAT IN THE INSTITUTE'S CANVASS OF ARTISTS ALL MALE ARTISTS HAVE AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER DRAWNFRANKLY EROTIC DRAWINGS EITHER FOR THEIR OWN AMUSEMENT OR FOR FRIENDS. BUT OF ALL THE WOMEN ARTISTS SAMPLED ONLY EIGHT HAVE EVER DRAWN SUCH PICTURES.

INSCRIPTIONS IN PUBLIC TOILETS ARE ALSO INDICATIVE OF THE DIFFERENT BENTS OF MEN AND WOMEN. ONLY ABOUT 25% OF WOMEN'S PUBLIC RESTROOMS HAVE SEXUAL INSCRIPTIONS ON THE WALLS, AND THESE ARE PRIMARILY OF THE "HEARTS AND FLOWERS" TYPE. MALE TOILETS, HOWEVER, (86% OF THEM) HAVE FRANKLY SEXUAL INSCRIPTIONS AND DRAWINGS, USUALLY IN THE FOUR-LETTER VERNACULAR.

HETEROSEXUAL MALE ATTITUDES TOWARDS HOMOSEXUALITY OFTEN CHARACTERIZE THAT OF MEN "DESPICABLE" BUT OF WOMEN "OKAY". WHEN QUESTIONED AS TO WHY LESBIANS ARE ALL RIGHT THE ANSWER MANY TIMES WAS "BECAUSE I READ THE 'WELL OF LONELINESS". HETEROSEXUAL MALES ALSO FIND THE IDEA OF LESBIANISM SEXUALLY INTRIGUING, SINCE IF ONE WOMAN IS GOOD, TWO ARE TWICE AS GOOD.

"IN OUR OVERALL SAMPLING," DR. POMEROY DECLARED, "WE FIND THE HOMOSEXUAL AS STABLE AND WELL-ADJUSTED AS THE HETEROSEXUAL. THERE IS A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF HOMOSEXUAL UPSET, BECAUSE OF SOCIAL TABOOS, BUT THIS IS MORE LIKELY TO BE TRUE OF THE MALE HOMOSEXUAL THAN OF THE LESBIAN."
