I've tried to find something on it, but it looks like it's K. FreuNd, for one thing -- and he has published a lot of sexual studies. R. I Watson, as well.

Here's one study by Kurt Freund which shows that "sex offenses against female children penetrated by men who are not pedophiles" ... and can't give you the answer to that as so far I haven't located the article.> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Freund

"Freund made a large-scale attempt in Czechoslovakia in the 1950s to change the sexual orientation of homosexuals to a heterosexual orientation through the use of behavioral aversive therapy.">

Kurt had put forward the hypothesis that voyeurism, exhibitionism, obscene telephone calling, toucheurism - frotteurism, and at least some cases of the preferential rape pattern were distortions of normal courtship behavior. Kurt was a biologist at heart and borrowed the concept of courtship from the ethologists' descriptions of lower animals' fixed-action patterns leading to mating. To feminist scholars, who of course viewed rape as an act of aggression and an example of men's domination of women, referring to rape as a disorder of courtship was anathema. During a coffee break at the Clarke Institute late in his life, he told me he could not understand why his concept of Courtship Disorders had not been more influential in the field. When I suggested to him that the rest of us did not have his courage, I had the impression that he did not understand my response.> http://newsmanager.commpartners.com/atsa/issues/2006-09-15/2.html

And this seems to be a direct contradiction of the comments above --

He was a pioneer in the field of human sexuality. His emphasis on the scientific method, for example looking objectively at differences in erotic arousal patterns, was groundbreaking. **He led the way in documenting that homosexual men were no more strongly attracted to children than heterosexual men. **He was years ahead of his time in documenting how testosterone-lowering interventions could be helpful in treating the paraphilias. His compassion for his patients, his thoughtful enlightenment, and his commitment to the scientific method will continue to serve as a positive role model for generations to come. http://newsmanager.commpartners.com/atsa/issues/2006-09-15/2.html

Of course, in earlier times, men didn't wear clothing so fig leaves didn't hide their arousal.

Rather, I see this not as courage, but as problematical thinking for a sex researcher.

Here's some contradictory evidence from the Family Research Council which is a right wing organization which generally tries to suggest that homosexuals are our child abusers in defense of the Roman Catholic Church . . .

NOTE: Pedophiles are invariably males: Almost all sex crimes against children are committed by men.> http://www.frc.org/get.cfm?i=IS02E3

And . . .

NOTE that the Family Research Council has some favorite prejudices . . .

First the "homosexuals are overrepresented" misrepresentation which is inane.

Despite the fact that they are forced to admit that: "After all, the majority of child molestation cases are heterosexual in nature."

They also insist that only 3% of the population is homosexual. Kinsey of course called it at 10% and from my estimation when everyone clears the "closets" we will probably find homosexuals and bisexuals probably represent much higher percentages -- 15% or even higher.

MALE HOMOSEXUALS COMMIT A DISPROPORTIONATE NUMBER OF CHILD SEX ABUSE CASES

Homosexual apologists admit that some homosexuals sexually molest children, but they deny that homosexuals are more likely to commit such offenses. After all, they argue, the majority of child molestation cases are heterosexual in nature.

While this is correct in terms of absolute numbers, this argument ignores the fact that homosexuals comprise only a very small percentage of the population.

The evidence indicates that homosexual men molest boys at rates grossly disproportionate to the rates at which heterosexual men molest girls. To demonstrate this it is necessary to connect several statistics related to the problem of child sex abuse:** 1) men are almost always the perpetrator**; 2) up to one-third or more of child sex abuse cases are committed against boys; 3) less than three percent of the population are homosexuals. Thus, a tiny percentage of the population (homosexual men), commit one-third or more of the cases of child sexual molestation.>

Additionally . . .

Also notice that the Family Research Council insists on assigning a gender orientation to pedophiles while studies I've been reading suggest that pedophiles have no actual sexual orientation - their only orientation is to AGE.

**They also refer to "preferential" child molestation **which basically means that heterosexual males may prefer an adult female partner, but when such isn't available they will sexually molest a child.

There are other studies -- one study from the Journal of American Medical Association reports that ....

Heterosexual males are 100X more likely to sexually abuse a child than a homosexual.

And: Research has indicated that gay men and lesbians are less likely than heterosexual to sexually abuse children.

**"Focus on the Facts" -- Sean Cahill, PH.D

A 1998 Study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that 90% of pedophiles are men, and 95% of these individuals are heterosexual.**

A 1998 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that 90% of pedophiles are men, and 95% of these individuals are heterosexual. One researcher explained this statistic by noting, "Gay men desire consensual sexual relations with other adult men. Pedophiles are usually adult men who are sexually attracted to pre-pubescent children. They are rarely sexually attracted to other adults. In fact, research has indicated that gay men and lesbians are LESS likely than heterosexuals to sexually abuse children. Two studies that examined the sexual orientation of convicted child molesters found that less than 1% in one study and 0% in the other were lesbian or gay. One psychologist reviewed the existing social science literature on the relationship between sexuality and child sexual abuse and found that "a gay man is no more likely than a straight man to perpetrate sexual activity with children." Further, "cases of perpetration of sexual behavior with a pre-pubescent child by an adult lesbian are virtually nonexistent.">

Gay rights activists, like all advocates for children's welfare, oppose child sexual abuse and support equitable age of consent laws that help prevent and punish such abuse.

Research shows that children raised by gay and lesbian parents are not disadvantaged vis-a-vis their peers raised by heterosexual parents.

Footnote 65 -- p.123

A review of 352 medical records of children evaluated for sexual abuse during a 12-month period at a Denver children's hospital found that less than 1% had been abused by a gay man or a lesbian. Of 269 adult perpetrators of child abuse identified among the 352 cases of abuse, only two were gay or lesbian. The vast majority of the children in the study (82%) "were suspected of being abused by a man or a woman who was, or had been, in a heterosexual relationship with a relative of the child." And the review concluded that in this sample, " a child's risk of being molested by his or her relative's heterosexual partner is over 100X greater [than the risk of being molested] by someone who might be identifiable as being homosexual, lesbian, or bisexual."

Are children at risk for sexual abuse by homosexuals? Pediatrics. 94(1).p.44.

In an earlier study of convicted male child molesters in Massachusetts, none of the 175 men were found to have an exclusively homosexual adult sexual orientation or to be primarily attracted to other adult men.
