Pedophilia is a deviation involving sexual activity of any type with a child who has not yet reached puberty and literally means, "a love of children." Legally, the term encompasses sexual activity between an adult and a minor, any minor of pre-or post-puberty age. And society deals harshly with a convicted pedophile for statutory rape is punishable with a long penitentiary sentence. With or without the minor's consent and whether or not the minor was the aggressor, a sex act with an under-age partner is considered in strictly legalistic terms as rape of a statutory nature. The nuance of definition between forced or statutory rape quickly loses significance to a man stepping into a prison cell as the barred door clangs shut behind him. What is significant is the double standard employed in the enforcement of so-called sexual behavior laws which sociologists today regard as archaic and discriminatory. Such laws have grown archaic and unrealistic because of the rapidly changing social scene and the more efficient ways of gathering sexual data. Today, it is possible for vast amounts of information to be compiled and analyzed by computers and there is a radical change in the answers we're getting pertaining to pedophiles.
In the past, pedophilia was regarded an almost exclusive male disorder. But the more sophisticated investigative techniques and answers supplied by computers revealed that there are just as many female as male pedophiles. However, while male pedophiles are quickly jailed and convicted, few if any women have ever served time in prison for this offense. The charge is usually reduced to "contributing to the delinquency of a minor," and the sentence. Ninety-eight percent of all women convicted of this offense are merely required to undergo psychiatric treatment without serving time in jail. But this double standard, this highly discriminatory attitude towards the enforcement of an outmoded law is not the fault of women. The laws were originally written by men and are still maintained by like-thinking men who continue to regard women as something other than normal. The notion that a woman would deliberately seduce a young boy for sexual gratification was considered not only a blasphemy but an improbability. Even Freud wrote that, "Most pedophiles are men," and a leading psychologist of the early twentieth century, a Dr. Hunt Stromberg stated unequivocably in the purple prose of the day that, "Womankind, the bearer of our young, just isn't built to entertain perverse and sexual thoughts."
As absurd as Dr. Stromberg's hypothesis sounds today, his thinking prevailed in the scientific community for over a hundred years for it has only been since the advent of the pill that women have been recognized as sexual creatures who respond excitedly to erotic material and who are willing and able to pursue sexual gratification whether society regarded the act as perverse or not. Older women today are practicing pedophilia and perhaps they always did. Conclusions on the subject are only as good as the fund of available, accurate date.
The purpose of Pedophilia: Older Women who seduce boys is to examine the act of pedophilia in both sexes, to explore the motives which lead adults to seek sexual play with minors and to determine whether sexual activity between an adult and minor damages the youngster mentally. Or does the pedophile suffer the more harmful effects?
First, in order to compare past attitudes with recent discoveries, the existing literature on pedophilia must be examined regardless of its validity. In The Encyclopedia of Human Behavior published as recently as 1970, we're told that, " ... pedophiles are usually men who fondle a child of either sex, exhibit themselves, or attempt intercourse. They may occasionally induce the child to manipulate their own sex organs and sometimes engage in anal or oral homosexual contact with young boys ... " We're further told that, "Deviates of this type vary in educational background and fall into two major age groups, one around thirty years and the other from fifty years up. A few are adolescents who are retarded in social and psychological development. The older group have usually been married and tend to seek out younger children; the younger group more often becomes involved with adolescent girls. Pedophiles are more likely to use force than any other sex offenders except rapists ... "
In the light of data that was accumulated, computerized and analyzed in 1973, it is possible to enlarge on several statements in The Encyclopedia. While there are still more known male than female pedophiles, the ladies are fast catching up in this field. Projections made by computers indicate that in all probability, as the pervasive, American youth cult becomes even more entrenched, more aging women will turn to young boys to enhance their own, faltering image of youth and sexual vibrancy. In this aspect, The Encyclopedia agrees when it states:
"Pedophiliacs are particularly afflicted with anxiety regarding their sexual potency. Like the rapists, the pedophiliac is not a hyper-sexed individual, but one whose sexual impulses are distorted by crippling anxiety. A large number give histories of impotence or partial impotence. It is evident that the pedophiliac's inferiority feelings lead him to search for younger and less formidable love objects whose ignorance would prevent his deficiency from becoming obvious. The child sexual object saves the offender's ego from blows which might prove destructive to his mental equilibrium ... "
The psychological picture of the typical pedophile is beginning to emerge. He or she is a worried person, not particularly a great bedroom performer but one who is concerned with waning, sexual capabilities, advancing age and unshakable feelings of inferiority. To relieve the almost unbearable pressures arising from these attitudes, the pedophile seeks out pre-or post-puberty-aged children for sexual gratification. In the eyes of the inexperienced child, the pedophile exudes an aura of sophistication, expertise and great prowess. The mere act of exposing mature genitalia to the child floods the pedophile with the exuberant feeling of great power. The pedophile's past failures with his peers shrink and eventually disappear, at least momentarily, as he, or she concentrates on seducing the child.
How old is the typical pedophile?
Current statistics agree to a remarkable extent with past figures taken from documented court cases. Pedophiles fall into two main age groups: the early thirties and the fifty-year-olds and over. According to The Encyclopedia, "The psychological pattern is somewhat different for the two age groups. Younger offenders generally feel inadequate and are afraid of rejection when they approach women. They seek contact with children in order to meet sexual needs without the risk of failure and humiliation. These men are usually unable to establish normal sexual relationships with women of their own age and do not play an adequate role in the community. Many of them are ambulatory schizophrenics or schizoid personalities who do not realize how eccentric their behavior is. They usually rationalize their actions by blaming them on alcohol or claiming that they were seduced by the boy or girl ... a claim that has been substantiated in a few cases. In this connection it is interesting that most of the offenders and their victims didn't know each other before the incident ... "
The case of Gerald W. 32, of Los Angeles fits into the pattern of pedophiliac offenders in his age group. A bachelor, he lived with his overbearing mother until the age of thirty. Then, he moved into an apartment of his own in an effort to break away from his mother's domination of his life. Afraid, she'd lose a source of financial support, the widow ridiculed his efforts to find girls and continually warned him against the schemes of "gold digger," although her son held a lowly paid clerking job.
When, at age thirty, Gerald finally started to date women, he found himself painfully shy and felt inadequate to cope with the ordinary problems of accompanying a girl for a single evening. Too frightened to broach the subject of sex, Gerald remained at age thirty-two, a sexual virgin, inexperienced, inadequate, fearful. Sexually normal, he continued to masturbate to relieve tensions since he was even too shy to approach a prostitute. He was afraid she'd laugh at him when she discovered his obvious inexperience. And the thought of growing older without having sexual relations with a female body continued to haunt him. Finally, an opportunity with a female arose quite unexpectedly and Gerald W. didn't hesitate taking it. The girl was thirteen years old.
Seated in a darkened theater one Saturday afternoon, Gerald felt a feminine leg brush up against his own leg. It was too dark to determine the age of the girl seated next to him but if shape and feel were any criteria, the leg belonged to a reasonably young girl. Gerald later told the court that he thought the girl was, at least, twenty-one. When he realized the owner of the female leg was deliberately firming it against his body, the man's heart began to beat rapidly and he erected, immediately.
Emboldened by the darkness and the dizzying elation that flooded through him along with his racing blood, Gerald dropped a hand against the girl's thigh. When the girl dropped her own hand against his, Gerald's heart leaped into his mouth. Almost sick with excitement, he enveloped the girl's fingers with his trembling hand.
At this point, the girl became the overt aggressor by leaning her head against Gerald's shoulder and curling the fingers of her free hand around the protrusion of Gerald's throbbing erection. According to the man, he still didn't know the girl's correct age. From what he could determine, he guessed she was about eighteen, a legal age for such activity. And realizing now, that he had the total cooperation of the girl, he quickly exposed his hardened penis and draped the girl's warmish hand around the shaft.
The girl, long-haired, slim but shapely and quite pretty turned directly towards him and expressed a desire "to neck." In the darkened theater with the young girl, Gerald became the man he always wanted to become. With the tips of the girl's fingers dancing up and down his blood-choked penile bond, he brushed his lips roughly and manfully, in his mind, up against the soft and yielding lips of the girl. His tongue snaking into her mouth beat out messages heavy with all of the lewd and erotic acts that had been repressed inside of him for so long. And for the first time, he spoke to the unknown stranger beside him, a girl who excited him all the more because she was a complete stranger. To her, he was a man. There was no past.
Pulling his salivating tongue out of her mouth, he whispered in a hoarse, unrecognizable voice. 'Want to ... fuck you."
For the first time in his entire life he had uttered the Anglo-Saxonism for intercourse and the accompanying excitement almost blurred his vision. And as though he was playing out one of his masturbatory fantasies, Gerald assumed the character of a daring and bold lover. In the security of the darkness and with the girl's encouraging whispers pulsating through him with his blood, all fears of failure evaporated.
The girl nodded. "Yes," she whispered. "Fuck me," she blurted out in the hard, enthusiastic voice of a hot-blooded teen-ager. She had learned many of the sexually descriptive expressions from listening to older girls. "Eat me. Eat my cunt, first."
Hearing such sexually provocative language from the soft lips of the nubile, young girl, demolished all of Gerald's ordinary restraints. For many years, he had fantasized the thrilling act of cunnilingus. To press his mouth up tight against the soft and slightly odoriferous box of a female had been his ambition for a very long time.
"Yes," he heard himself utter in a hoarse, lust-choked voice. "Pull up your skirt," he instructed. "High. High as you can get it. Then ... I'll ... kiss you juicy cunt ... " He had always associated moisture with the female genitals.
The young girl quickly did as instructed. She wriggled up her skirt, managed to drop her panty's and twist her hips towards the man next to her. Gerald inhaled deeply as the musky odor of the aroused vagina wafted up from the distended lips. The girl was very definitely in heat. And from that point on, she was very definitely the aggressor.
"Eat me," she hissed through clenched teeth. "Stick your tongue up my cunt!"
Gerald required no second invitation. Sobbing with joy, he dropped to his knees, draped both of the girl's legs over his shoulders and without a second's hesitation. Shoved his lips hard against the hairy vulva with its wide-open lips. Although he had never before in his entire life performed the act of cunnilingus on a real girl, he knew instinctively what to do. His hungry tongue probed the soft flesh of the inner vagina. And he had read enough about the female anatomy to know about the clitoris, the female penis. The surface of his bent tongue slid quickly up the gaping cleft until the sensors over the surface signaled the location of the clit, the most erogenous zone on the girl's body.
The ecstasy of feeling a male tongue over her sensitized female penis wracked the girl with bolts of lust. Her neck snapped back and she emitted a high, almost blood curdling yell. This scream of ecstasy was Gerald's undoing. Ushers came pounding down the aisle and caught the middle-aged man in the midst of a fevered cunnilingal action. He was immediately arrested and jailed on a statutory rape charge despite the fact there was no penetration of his penis into the vagina. In court, under the pressure of her parents, the girl gave evidence to the fact that Gerald had forced his sexual attentions on her and that she had been too weak to resist. Also, she claimed she was frightened of him. He was found guilty and received the maximum jail sentence of five years.
On sentencing Gerald, the judge remarked on the vile nature of Gerald's sordid act and on more than one instance used the expression, "outraged society." But on hearing an almost identical case of an adult seducing a minor, the same judge took an entirely different position regarding his duty to appease an outraged society. The case differed in one respect. The adult was a woman and the minor, a twelve-year-old boy.
The following case that came before the same trial judge elicited no outraged comments from the man, no jail sentence or even reprimand. Instead the defendant was turned over to a psychiatrist who recommended her dismissal on the grounds she was "mentally overwrought" at the time of the seduction. According to the transcript, Pearl R. a fifty-six-year-old school nurse had direct, sexual relations with a school boy sent to her office for a physical examination. He had complained of headaches and a sick stomach during class. The boy, an exceptionally beautiful child with golden, curling hair and smooth, flawless skin apparently had an erotic effect on the middle-aged woman the moment he entered her office. From the trial testimony, a strange feeling swept over her mind and body as the boy approached her. Locking the office door, she ordered him to disrobe completely although the usual, cursory examination didn't require full disrobement.
The boy obediently complied. After making the required notes in her examination book, the woman looked up and caught her breath at the unusual beauty of the slender-bodied, naked child who, apparently, was reaching puberty. Long, golden hairs curled out from around his slender but unusually long penis. The two nuts were firm and closely linked. The firm, smooth buttocks swelled out into two globes of edible looking flesh. From between the center of the cleavage, long, blondish strands of rectal hairs twisted through. Since the boy was active physically, his legs were sturdy and muscular. And the instant he dropped his clothes, his penis instinctively erected.
The nurse caught her breath at the sight of the naked, erected boy, at the way his ivory-colored penis stretched out so enticingly and in the mirror she couldn't take her eyes off the twin hills of buttock flesh. A recent widow, the woman had been without sexual contact for over a year. During the period of her late husband's long illness and since his death, she had been a sexually deprived woman. Now, her genitals reacted positively to the erotic stimuli presented by the naked boy who was only twelve.
If the boy had ever engaged in sexual conduct, it was impossible to tell from any outward appearance. He appeared to be totally unconcerned about the length of his stiffened appendage. The woman's hands were trembling as she held the boy's wrist to take his pulse. Seated before him, she was unable to pull her eyes off the penis as the boy stood before her. Seemingly, by accident, she brushed the back of one hand against the enlarged glands and thrilled at the contact. The boy seemed indifferent to her touch and made no protest. Emboldened, she took the penile shaft in her hand as though it was part of her professional duty.
For the first time, the boy began to display a sign of emotion. The touch of her warm, soft, female hand began to arouse his sexual desires for, according to the evidence, he had already started to masturbate. The skin of the penile shaft began to change color and blood squirted noticeably through the now building veins along the underside.
The heat of the boy's gathering lust flowed swiftly into the fifty-six-year-old woman who threw all caution to the winds. Sweeping the boy into her arms, she dug one finger deeply into his rectum, as she stroked his penis with hard, determined strokes. Quickly, the over-heated boy discharged his semen into her hand. After wiping off the child's genitals, the nurse displayed open admiration as the virile penis erected once again. Responding to the approval of his manliness, the child was now ready to engage in any sort of sexual activity she desired. Although he was still virginal as far as a woman's sex organs were concerned, he had listened to the tales of older boys about fucking and parts of the female anatomy such as cunt and tits. The words had always aroused him and he boldly stated that he wanted to, "Fuck your cunt."
The sound of the erotic words heated the woman up beyond all endurance. Since the office door was locked, she wasn't afraid of any sudden intrusion. Quickly she discarded her clothes before the awe-stricken and admiring eyes of the silent boy. Never before in his life had he seen a completely naked, adult female. Now, the buxom woman's breasts spilled out before his eyes, her flabby belly even exuded an exciting aura of sexuality and he almost choked with excitement as the cheeks of her exposed buttocks tumbled out into view. But the strangest part of her anatomy was the genitals. There was no penis, only a profusion of black, curling hair that swept up from between her legs and seemed to beckon to him.
"Are you going to fuck me?" the boy asked in a small and shaking voice.
"Yesss," the woman replied making up her mind. "I'm going to do just that."
And she did. Laying the boy on his back over the couch, she straddled him and easily inserted his erected penis between the labial lips and into her vagina. There was more friction than she had originally thought possible. The inner folds of the labial lips were dried out from over a year of sexual inactivity, the muscles were tight and the slender but long penile bone slid deep into the cuntal passage. The instant the moment, the appendage was completely immersed, the woman reached under, took a firm grip of both buttocks and proceeded to thrust the weight of her body back and forth against the slender body beneath her. In no time at all, the impassioned couple reached an orgasm. Later, the woman was to testify that her sexual release under those conditions with the twelve-year-old boy had been the most intense and most satisfying of her entire life. The fact that she had full grown children didn't matter. The affair with the boy continued until the couple were discovered in a motel room.
Brought to trial, the aging nurse pleaded temporary insanity because of her recent widowhood, a plea that was accepted by the court. The case was eventually dismissed after a psychiatrist testified the woman had been under severe emotional stress due to the death of her husband of many years. The fact that the affair had continued with the boy over a period of many months wasn't even a factor in the prosecution. The prosecutor, in fact, expressed satisfaction with the judge's verdict of dismissal of all charges. The ingrained belief that a matronly woman could seduce a young boy with sexual gratification in mind is still untenable. The philosophy expressed by Dr. Hunt Stromberg in 1905 still prevails to a great extent.
While the double standard in law enforcement against the pedophile remains, the basic differences and motivations between the male and female offenders is slight. According to the authoritative Human Sexuality by psychologist James Leslie McCary, "The aberration usually develops as an attempt on the part of the pedophile to cope with a fear of failure in normal interpersonal and heterosexual relationships, especially with a sexually experienced adult, or to satisfy a narcissistic love of him, or herself as a child. Efforts to rehabilitate pedophiles through psychotherapy have shown promising results, although some of them become recidivists. A prison sentence, however, does little by way of altering the subsequent behavior of sexual deviates, although society is, of course protected from them during their term of imprisonment ... "
Basically, McCary's statements are still considered correct by most psychologists. However, a more recent and improved technique in interviewing subjects, gathering and filing data and making such information more generally accessible had enabled medical research analysts to become more precise as to the motivations behind the pedophiles behavior, the reasons why an older person, male or female, feels an overwhelming urge to express their sexual needs in terms of a younger person.
For instance, it's been discovered that the attitudes and motivations of wealthy, aging pedophile women are much different than those in a less affluent socio-economic status. More educated women in the professional classes seek younger boys for different reasons again. And working women, blue-collar types, have their own, unique reasons for seeking out younger boys for sexual purposes. Interviews with housewives who never worked in industry revealed different behavioral patterns again.
The socio-economic background and cultural level of the female pedophile determines her behavior more than any other factor. This is the principle conclusion derived from a series of Kinsey like reports conducted early in 1973.
CHAPTER TWO
Affluent Women and Boys
In January, 1973 the Independent Research Corporation conducted a series of investigations into the nature of pedophilia. The purpose was to determine whether contemporary laws were suitable for the efficient control of older people who molest children. Until the investigation, the typical pedophile was characterized as being male, middle-aged, a loner and mentally disturbed. The first phase of the investigation was to confirm or reject that characterization of the average, American pedophile of the 1970s. A field data began to flow into the headquarters of the researchers to be computerized and processed, a completely different picture of the modern-day pedophile began to emerge.
According to the computerized analysis, there is no such thing as an average or typical older person who molest children. They come in all sizes, shapes, forms and colors. But as more inputs were fed into the computers, certain recognizable patterns of behavior did emerge; patterns of behavior that distinguished one group of pedophiles from another. As behavioral patterns were matched to income and cultural backgrounds, different sets of motives emerged. In brief, affluent people not only go about molesting children in a different way but there are more of them. These conclusions were so radically different from past beliefs that the results weren't published and made available until hundreds of more samples were obtained and computerized. The same pattern persisted. There are more affluent pedophiles than poor ones. They not only behave differently than the less affluent but their motivations are different as well.
As the computers began to refine the data, more conclusions were made available; conclusions of an incredulous nature. After scanning one hundred pedophiles cases from wealthy communities all over the United States, places like Beverly Hills in California, Palm Beach, Florida, Park Avenue, New York and Palm Springs, California. An increasingly large percentage of wealthy women are addicted with the pedophiliac perversion. Whether many wealthy women have always been attracted sexually to young boys or whether the trend towards pedophilia is a recent phenomenon is a recent development is not known with any degree of certainty. It is now known that past investigative techniques were highly inaccurate. However, most psychologists firmly believe that the pattern of wealthy women and boys is a comparatively recent one and related to the enormous increase in the life-span of our population. While the overall lifespan for all Americans has risen in the past twenty years, wealthy people are living longer than the average. And wealthy women are living the longest.
The problems of the aging, wealthy woman are highly unique and not shared by her poorer sisters. Of course they share with less affluent women the normal problems involving biological and psychological changes related to aging. The most obvious physical changes are a decline in strength and a gradual decline in sexual energy. However, the same data revealed that the affluent women remain more sexually active and aggressive than poorer or working women. For one thing and on the average, the lifelong affluent woman has evaded the ravaging stresses brought about by poverty, or hard work. A life of comparatively less stress shows up in the older person in her physical and mental well being. But, of course, they're cognizant of the passing years, they know their true age which they never reveal and they want to desperately remain young or be associated with young people and young ideas. Perhaps they're not as vigorous in bed as they were as younger women but that's only comparative. They're still vitally interested in sex and they now associate sex with their youth, with young people and most important with remaining young. And the affluent woman has both the time and financial means of pursuing the opposite sex and having affairs which will keep her young, or so she thinks.
But with whom shall she have these affairs with? Gigolos? Most women clever enough to hang on to the wealth left them by their deceased husbands are also clever enough to avoid sex for pay. It is not only dangerous, leaving them open for blackmail but also demeaning and self-defeating. Their goal in sex is no longer the simple penetration of the vagina by the male penis. They want to feel young again and they're not going to feel that way if they pay a professional male whore.
According to data furnished by the Independent Research Corporation, affluent women begin to try out pedophilia in their fifties. The percentage increases dramatically in their sixties and either levels off or climbs higher in their seventies. The fifties then are the dangerous years for wealthy women. They begin to feel old and they're still young enough for sexual activity. According to Dr. Heinrich Glutmann of Berlin, Germany and an authoritative geriatric psychologist, wealthy women remain more active sexually because they have no other problem to think about or occupy their minds. The aging woman in straightened circumstances is confronted by problems of money, companionship and boredom. The wealthy woman has none of these problems. She craves sex. But more important to her, she wants to remain young.
Certainly a woman in her sixties or seventies with young ideas isn't going to recapture her youth in bed with a man her own age. She gravitates toward young men. If they reject the gigolo, they go after young men in their twenties. However, more often than not, they discover such relationships are unsatisfactory. For one thing, the male in his twenties who is sincerely attracted to a much older woman is usually suffering from a mental maladjustment which eventually surfaces in erratic behavior. More often than not, such maladjusted men are poor lovers seeking mother substitutes. The aging woman in search of a passionate lover doesn't want to feel like someone's mother. And after experiencing several unsatisfactory affairs with younger men, the older woman usually breaks off the romance in search of something more satisfying.
This behavioral pattern has been drawn from statistics furnished by the Independent Research Corporation. The affluent aging woman goes through several unsatisfactory love affairs with younger but mature males before deciding upon boys. Martha K., 66, of Palm Springs, California fits this pattern of conduct. Widowed in her late fifties, the wealthy, still handsome and socially prominent woman had little trouble finding willing male escorts. But as other women in her circumstances discovered, the available men were highly unsatisfactory. Either they were interested in her money or having her further their business or social careers or they suffered from a host of psychological problems related to their own backgrounds. Yet, Martha K. still craved sex and with a much younger person. Refusing to think of herself as old, she felt she deserved the attentions of a much younger male. She still played golf, dressed in handsome, styled clothes and was remarkably well preserved for her age. Her longest affair lasted with a 21-year-old youth who had an Oedipal Complex. And she didn't want to play the role of his mother. The active and highly energetic woman refused to masturbate and yet without male attention she worried about growing old, really old. Finally, she decided to try pedophilia and then she entered into the perversion only by impulse.
Remaining active by throwing many parties, the subject ordered an affair to be catered. The afternoon of the party, a colored boy arrived at her home with a carton of groceries from the delicatessen. The boy, working after school for extra money, couldn't have been more than thirteen. But he was huskily bodied with tight fitting denims which displayed his bulged genitals and the way his buttocks swelled out. She had never seen anyone with skin so black. And quite unexpectedly and much to her surprise, the genitals of the tall, sophisticated and handsome society woman of over sixty-five, began to grow excited. There wasn't a doubt that she was beginning to feel sexually excited by the youth who moved with long, slender strides into her kitchen. The eyes of Martha K. grew hungry for his body and as the boy, innocent and unknowledgeable about sex turned to leave, she found herself making excuses for him to remain a while longer until she either discarded the notion of having him sexually or went through with the act.
The tall woman in elegantly styled pant suit and large, round ear rings symbolized something from an alien world to the colored boy whose parents were day laborers. He had no way of realizing the heart of the woman was beating at a fast, erratic pace and that her thoughts were growing increasingly lewd and obscene. Later, to an analyst, she revealed that at that moment she kept wondering what his black, naked body really looked like and was his penis fully grown and she even wondered whether or not he had pubic hair. These thoughts finally propelled her to make the next move.
"It's hot out," she remarked and tried to sound casual. "You must have a cool drink before you go back to work."
The young boy was too shy and too awed by the presence of a woman who typified white majesty and authority, the typical affluent WASP, the employer of the negro ever since they landed in America. To address the woman on a familiar basis was utterly unthinkable, or even to deny her request. Surprised however by her friendliness, he followed her into the living room where she told him to sit down on the couch while she fetched a glass of cold tea.
Preparing the tea, the tall, sixtyish woman still didn't know what she was going to do but one thing was certain. She was going to go through with the seduction. Her servants were not expected until later in the day to help prepare for the evening party. They were all alone in her mansion-like home, the thirteen-year-old black boy and the aging socialite, known in every socially prominent home in Palm Springs. And despite her position and security, her hands were trembling as she fixed the drink. Finally, on her way back, she decided on a move.
Handing the glass to the boy, she deliberately spilled the drink over his tight denim trousers. The boy sprang up and he was the one who apologized to her. Filled with shame and remorse, he felt certain he was the cause of the accident. To his relief, the kindly-faced, graying woman merely smiled tolerantly and told him to go into the bedroom and remove the pants. She'd wash them out and have them dried in no time, she assured him.
At first, the boy appeared reluctant. He was wearing nothing underneath and she sensed this fact from the way his genitals and buttocks swelled out so prominently. However, in her authoritative way, she insisted on the boy handing her the pants to wash and dry. "I have children who are twice your age," she told him and this fact was true.
Obediently now, the boy walked into the bedroom, shut the door and removed his trousers. But once he took them off, the woman sailed nonchalantly into the room and took them from his hands. If she noticed the nude state of his body below his waist she made no mention of it. But confronted by a female while in a state of undress, the boy instinctively erected. And he merely stood very still and very embarrassed. If he tried to cover his nakedness, he'd draw attention to the up-thrust, black appendage. And so, he remained very still hoping she'd turn and leave the room. But she didn't.
For the first time in her life she had the opportunity to appraise the male penis of a black boy. Discreetly, she lowered her eyes and sucked in her breath. The erection was the largest she'd ever seen even on full grown men. The boy had more than reached the age of puberty. The glands of the head, taut-skinned and purplish, shone in the soft light of the bedroom and in reflecting, wall mirrors, she scrutinized the slope of the buttocks, black as midnight but with skin that also gleamed tantalizingly at her.
The woman's heart started to beat so fast she had trouble catching her breath. How could she make the seduction appear to be accidental. She ached to feel the penile shaft and squeeze the scrotal sacs. And she even visualized a scene in which she was caressing the firm, black ass-flesh. She would either have to make a move or leave. Minutes were ticking by. The boy was growing uneasy. Suddenly, she made her decision. Reaching out, she took a firm hold of the throbbing, black shaft while the tips of the fingers dug into the soft skin of the twin, black nuts.
The boy gasped as his eyes rolled back to show the whites. Bewildered, he didn't know what to do. The white woman of wealth exuded authority and she could even get him into trouble if he didn't do as she ordered.
"Have you ever had sexual relations with a girl?" the woman asked him bluntly. "Black boys ... screw early." The use of the vernacular for the copulatory expression excited her even more.
The frightened black boy shook his head. No, he had never had sexual relations with a girl. And the thought of his virginity drove the woman to even higher, sexual heights. "Take off the rest of your clothes," she ordered. She was shrewd enough not to realize that he responded to authority. White authority. "At once!" she repeated the order.
The boy complied, immediately.
"Now watch me," she said with a smile and proceeded to disrobe as though performing a strip tease on a stage. As each garment was removed, she kept her eyes fastened on the boy's eyes to gauge his reaction. And when she was completely in the nude, she stood dramatically in front of him. She was naked except for the round, large ear-rings. "Look at me," she continued in her bossy tone of voice. "Look at my ... cunt. Doesn't that excite you?"
When the boy nodded dumbly, she sat down on the edge of the bed, spread her legs and beckoned him to kneel between them. Cunnilingus was in her mind. To be tongue-licked by a black boy excited her to fever pitch. "Suck," she hissed at him. "Suck my cunt. Like a little puppy dog. Up and down. In and out. Now ... do it!" she yelled at the hesitating boy.
Before she was through with him for the afternoon, the sixty-six-year old woman had performed fellatio on the boy and then taught him how to penetrate her vagina with his virile penis which erected almost immediately after seminal discharge. And swept up in the aging woman's lust, the boy performed admirably and much to her satisfaction.
The affair continued until he inadvertently mentioned his relationship to his mother. She reported the situation to the authorities. However, the woman of wealth and influence was never brought to trial. In a closed session, the judge suggested she undergo psychological treatment and hinted discreetly that she should find a congenial mate of her own social class and status.
Discussing the affair freely with her analyst, the woman freely admitted that throughout the sexual activity with the boy, she did feel younger, desired and she found herself having the most effective climaxes of her long, sexual life.
There were several reasons for such feeling. The natural youth of the boy guaranteed a passionate sex session. Once he overcame his shyness under the heat of lust, he performed in a completely uninhibited manner. At thirteen, he had no hangups, no complexes, no hesitations. He did whatever the woman demanded of him. This fierce, driving lust transmitted into her body by the boy's exuberance and passion awakened feelings and sensations she hadn't experienced for many years, not since she was a young girl. And on feeling such responses and recollections of her own, passionate youth, the aging woman began to feel young again. The affair with the thirteen-year-old boy also satisfied her need for new and exciting sexual stimuli which is extremely important in older people and another factor in the motivations that drive affluent women to have sexual relations with boys; the new, exciting and different set of sexual stimuli proved them by the boy's body and reactions.
In this respect, aging women are no different than men and especially aging, affluent women. Throughout the course of their normal sexual lives they've tried a variety of sexual experiences. In fact that is the one characteristic in common to all female but affluent pedophiles. Experience. They've tried a variety of different men and tried every position and type of sex; oral, anal and in certain cases, homosexuality. By the time they arrive in their fifties and beyond, they're in need of a new and exciting kind of sexual stimulant. They've seen plenty of naked bodies and tried out many different and provocative kinds of positions. Their flagging senses demand something new and more interesting than the past stimuli. A young boy fits this need in several respects.
The mere thought of forbidden fruit acts as a stimulant on many older women. The visual stimuli of a young, emerging body provides them with plenty of erotic excitement. Equally as important, a boy of twelve or thirteen exudes the sweetish odor of extreme youth, an odor that is exclusive and unique with that particular age. In this respect then, he appeals to the older woman's olfactory senses which is extremely important in an older woman. In fact, in certain cases, the sense of smell as a sexual stimulant may be the principle, motivating factor.
This is verified by professor Charles Samson Fere in his The Sexual Urge: How it Grows or Wanes. " ... with some persons the influence of smell becomes so predominant that sexual activity is impossible in the absence of the smell, or, on the other hand, olfactory excitations may cause uncontrollable desires ... "
This probably happened in the previously mentioned case of Martha K. In her later description of the seduction to an analyst, she remarked about the exotic odor that radiated up from the black skin of the boy. In her instance, she found the odor from the negroid skin "exotic" and "exciting." Certainly, her olfactory senses were responding to an entirely new sensation and since that sensation was emanating from the nude skin of a black boy, her sexual responses were entirely positive.
Professor Fere goes on to say that the sense of smell explains wily men of high culture are excited by peasant girls and also he relates the same effect to woman. A high-born, culturally advantaged woman might be sensually attracted to a sweaty working man provided her sex organs and intellect responds vigorously to his unique but, to her, quite different smells. Explaining further, he states, "The (sexual) excitation is not only provoked by the smell of the secretions connected with the generative organs, but also by coetaneous secretions in general and sometimes by a local secretion. Some persons are excited by the smell of a woman's urine. Such elective sensibilities border on pathology ... "
As a woman ages, then, odors play an increasingly important role in her sex life; in the manner she selects a sex partner and the way she responds to him. And the odors may not necessarily correspond to the general notion of something sweet and fragrant. Many white people respond negatively to the characteristic odors that emanate from a black person's skin and vice versa. But a sexually aroused woman or man might respond enthusiastically to such smells. According to Professor Fere, even the smell of urine might cause sexual excitement under certain conditions.
Returning to the case of Martha K., we find that she responded sexually to certain odors from the black boy that normally she'd not accept in an agreeable way. The affair with the black boy lasted for over six months and in each meeting, she devised new and to her, exciting positions for them to experiment with. Since the boy was amenable to any suggestion on her part, she spent many hours in creating new acts to excite herself with.
After one sexual encounter, she followed the boy into the bathroom and watched him urinate. The odor of his urine excited her, sexually. And the next time, they met, she devised a new approach. Sitting in a tub half-filled with water, the sixtyish-aged woman ordered the naked boy to urinate over her face, breasts and body. The boy complied. And as the hot urine splashed over her body, she masturbated, feverishly and was able to reach an easy climax in this manner.
Another stimulant that aging women find exciting when they receive it from boys is anything that appeals to their sense of hearing. Women who begin to age are particularly sensitive to certain tones of voice as well as language. To hear lewd and obscene words from the seemingly innocent face of a boy drives certain pedophiliac women to extreme states of passion. As Martha K. engaged in coitus with the black boy, she normally assumed the aggressive woman-on-top position. Throughout coitus, she kept urging the boy to shout at the top of his lungs. "Fuck me," or other lewd expressions which excited her tremendously.
After studying and comparing the enormous amount of computerized data in female pedophiles, psychologists have come up with one more explanation that might explain the preference for boys by affluent, older woman. Many such women were found to possess certain sadistic tendencies and with a meek boy they found it easier and more expedient to give release to such tendencies.
According to the novelist Balzac, there are two kinds of love; one that commands and the other that obeys. These contrary tendencies can be found in both sexes and when carried too far may grow into sadism and masochism.
Recent studies have shown that aging women in the wealthy bracket are especially susceptible to the perversion of sadism, the pleasure derived by inflicting pain during the sex act. And they're intelligent enough to restrain such tendencies with people they know. A twelve or thirteen-year-old boy with whom they have no emotional ties makes an ideal partner to accept certain sadistic practices they wish to vent during coitus.
And why do aging, wealthy women exhibit sadistic tendencies? According to Psychologist Richard Greyhauser of San Francisco, the aging woman is an angry woman. All of her life, her wealth had prevented anything of an unpleasant nature happen to her. Her money-insulated world gave her security, protection and the feeling she could overcome all obstacles. But arriving in her middle or late fifties and beyond, it becomes apparent that no amount of wealth can prevent the destructive ravages of old age. The more she spends on beauty treatments, the more frustrated she becomes and the more angry. She's reached a point in her life that places her on the same level as less affluent people. Angry and alarmed, she wants to strike out, to harm, to inflict punishment. And as she succeeds in inflicting some form of punishment she becomes excited, sexually. She is succeeding at something despite her age.
Such a woman, quite often, turns to young boys for a sex partner. As a figure of authority, she can get away with her sadistic treatment which in most cases is extremely mild. They're not really pathological, merely angry. That's why they avoid seeking out a true masochist who craves punishment. They're more satisfied with a young boy who accepts her dictatorial but maternal ways and even a bit of punishment such as spanking on the bared buttocks. The act of spanking preceded a passionate sex act on the bed. And in several of the cases reported by the Independent Research Corporation, the woman scratched at her young sex partner throughout the coital act. These scratches were deep enough to draw blood which acted as an excitation.
According to the psychologist Krafft-Ebing, the mere idea of blood or scenes of bloodshed could produce an orgasm in sadistic-oriented women. Sometimes the sight of blood becomes vital to the successful completion of the act. Afraid to behave in a sadistic manner with an adult, the woman displays no such inhibitions with a mere child. In fact, in a small percentage of the cases evaluated, the sole purpose of seeking out a young boy for sexual purposes was to scratch his skin during coitus in order to make him bleed. In brief, the sight of blood was more important than the actual pedophiliacal act.
Conversely, a few of the woman analyzed confessed to masochistic tendencies. They wanted to be beaten, or in some manner physically abused during the coital act. They could derive sexual satisfaction only by experiencing pain throughout coitus. Since their masochistic tendencies were mild, they, too, hesitated in seeking out a true sadist to punish them. Instead, they searched for bully-type boys with streaks of sadism already emerging. Without question, the sadistic-minded child inflicted a mild sort of punishment on the older woman during coitus. He either reviled her with vulgar, street language, or even smacked her with his fists when he mounted her.
The majority of all affluent women pedophiles examined however, entered into a sexual affair with a young boy to infuse herself with his youth. Living in a youth-oriented culture, they were youth intoxicated. The sight of the young, lean body, the odors of the tender flesh, the touch of young, warm hands and the entry of a virginal penis. And of course, many confessed to the thrill of initiating an inexperienced boy into the rituals of sex. Eighty-six percent of all the women questioned fell into the "youth-intoxicated" pattern. And of this percentage, the majority of the women were in their middle or late fifties.
An analysis of the data revealed a more disturbing pattern emerging in the older groups, the 60 to 70-year-olds. Sadism was more prominent in this group and corresponds to analysis made formerly by Krafft-Ebing. Masochism was also found to prevail in the older groups of women tested. A few of the documented cases in the older category of women revealed cravings for whipping, pinching, beatings, tramplings by the object of their passion. One woman taught her young lover to apply hot and caustic-soaked rags to her lumbar regions. Following the applications, she became sexually aroused.
Krafft-Ebing found that masochism was more prevalent in women than men but the latest tests conducted by the Independent Research Corporation revealed the reverse to be true. Among aging, female pedophiles, there were more sadists, more women inclined to inflict pain rather than receive it.
Few of the women questioned were ever brought before a court of law but merely volunteered the information. The few who were apprehended and brought before a judge were quickly released without serving a day in jail. They received court-appointed psychiatric care for a while. But almost a hundred percent of those questioned in the survey admitted that they returned to their pedophiliacal acts almost immediately.
One conclusion is clear: more aging, wealthy women are turning towards young boys to satisfy them sexually and for a variety of motives. The chances of any form of legal punishment against them are almost nil.
CHAPTER THREE
Professional Women and Boys
After studying several hundred cases of aging professional women who had sexual affairs with young boys, a pattern emerges in which all are included. The professional women in the survey were all highly educated, highly motivated and were either married or had been married. None fit the picture of the desperate, old maid school teacher turning to boys for a last chance sort of fling. As a group, they were sophisticated, dated or had intelligent achievers as husbands or lovers. Yet, sooner or later, they sought out a pre- or puberty-aged boy for a passionate sex affair. Why?
All gave different motives but all had one characteristic in common. Fear. They were afraid of the future. Perhaps that's merely another way of saying they were simply afraid of growing old but with professional women, the problem is much more complex than the mere aging factor. They were not only afraid of losing their looks, their sexual attractiveness but also terrified of being shunted aside in their professional careers that took many years to achieve status and recognition.
America is a youth-worshipping society and these women are confronted daily by threats to their positions and receive many hints, real or fancied, that they're getting on and should be replaced. The fear factor was found to exist in all professional groups analyzed. These groups included the professions of medicine, law, journalism, industry and the arts. By the time a woman reached her early sixties, she found herself and her position threatened by younger, more aggressive competitors. When the fear factor becomes most pronounced, the woman's sexual activities take on aberrant characteristics. Some develop a taste for promiscuity or even homosexuality. A certain percentage became active pedophiles. Nearly all of the women in the professional group who turned to pedophilia under career duress had fantasized sexual activities with boys prior to actively becoming involved with them. Pedophiliacal-like fantasy apparently plays an important role in the activities of the aging, professional women group. A few never go beyond the fantasy stage but ninety-eight of the women questioned admitted that after fantasizing sex with a young boy, they deliberately set out to find one and complete coitus with him.
Laura B., 62, an attorney was one such woman. A specialist in corporate law for a large combine, she had achieved an important position, a high salary, respect of society. Her long marriage to a man, also a successful attorney, was a source of comfort and security. But as she approached her 63rd birthday, she became morose and depressed. The mandatory age for retirement in her firm was sixty-three and at that point she'd lose her goals she'd worked so long and so hard to achieve. Her behavior grew erratic. She started insisting she was several years younger than her age and took to wearing much more youthful clothes that didn't become her. Her husband and close friends tried to make her face up to reality, face up to her impending retirement and the end of her career. The subject felt they were conspiring against her, trying to make her older than her years and she set out to prove them wrong. She set out to have an affair with the youngest man she could find.
The opportunity arose during a summer vacation she decided to take away from her husband. Ever since her fixation with age and her retirement, her marriage began to suffer. She found her older husband an increasing bore and entirely lacking in understanding of her position. Under the duress of the strained relationship, the man grew impotent which further dampened their relations. They both decided that a vacation apart would do them both good and perhaps might repair the damage.
Taking a cruise to the Bahamas, the case subject found herself in the companion of much younger, married couples who were vacationing with their children. An environment with so many younger, livelier people cheered her considerably and she began to recover from her period of depression. The single, unattached men on board didn't appeal to her. They were either too old or too young or simply bores. For a while, she was happy to be alone to sort out her confused thoughts on the future of her career and marriage.
During dinner, she formed a friendship with a young couple with a thirteen-year-old son. One evening, the couple asked Laura to babysit with their son while they attended a shipboard dance. She agreed to stay with the boy until bedtime and promised to see him safely in bed. But once she found herself alone with the boy in her cabin, she remembered her earlier fantasies between herself and a boy of the same years.
To the psychologist from the Independent Research Corporation, she admitted that in her fantasy she had performed every perverse act imaginable such as cunnilingus, fellatio and various erotic positions of coitus. Now, she was alone with a boy who was standing before her in his pajamas. By discreetly peering down, she could make out a speck of flesh from his partially exposed penis. Her heart leaped into her mouth and from the pit of her genitals, a very definite tingly feeling pimpled her skin with goose bumps. There wasn't a doubt that she was growing increasingly aroused, sexually.
The boy appeared to be precocious for his age, quite bright and the way he walked freely around with his pajama fly open, she almost believed he was deliberately tantalizing her. Once, by accident, he claimed the pajama bottoms wrinkled down below his knees to expose his genitals and legs. Although he quickly and blushingly pulled them up, she was certain the accident was deliberate. And she had very clearly caught sight of the exposed penis. The flesh was narrow and slender and so sweet looking. The two, darling balls were tightly packed together and from a wall mirror she caught a breath-taking sight of the boy's bum, the twin globes of buttock flesh so tightly fused together.
The instant that Laura caught sight of the boy's exposed body, her vaginal walls fluttered out specks of secretion and she had to stand with her legs slightly apart to permit the flush of cuntal heat through the labial lips. And from the newly formed pressure against her girdle, she knew her clitoris had suddenly erected. At that moment, she knew she was going to seduce the boy. But how?
The answer came quicker than she expected for the boy seemed intent on showing off his penis. He had recently arrived at the puberty stage and was beginning to vibrate with sexual feelings. Sitting in front of her on a chair, he deliberately spread his legs with the pajama fly wide open. His penis immediately leaped into view and this time the member was stiff. There wasn't a doubt the precocious youngster was responding erotically to the situation of finding himself alone with a strange female. The fact that she was an old woman, in her sixties made no difference. She was of the opposite sex and he was filled with an overwhelming urge to show off his penis.
In the initial stage, it's doubtful whether the boy had intercourse in mind. Puberty-aged youngsters filled with the first flush of sexual excitement are exhibitionists. They want to publicly show off their erected penis. And now, alone with the old but attractive woman, the boy did show off his organ. However, he pretended he didn't know that he was exposing himself. Holding a book in front of him, he pretended to be reading while he knew his penis was in full view of the woman. From time to time, he peered over the side of the book to determine her reaction. And he almost lost his semen when he realized she was looking down at the up-thrust appendage with a look of keen interest.
Later on, under analysis, Laura admitted that previous to the episode with the boy, she had been fantasizing a sexual scene with a young boy. In her fantasies, she did everything with the boy. For some reason, the act of fellatio had occurred many times in her dream orgies with young boys. There was something about the sweet scent of an erected, virginal penis that excited her, tremendously. And she remembered too that she had indulged in anal practices such as mouthing the boy's rectum, an act she'd never permitted herself to do with her own husband.
Finding herself in the cabin, alone and with an apparently willing boy snapped all restraints. Boldly, she fell to her knees and without any preliminaries, curled her fingers around the penile staff and hungrily engulfed the meat in her mouth. The boy threw away the book and leaned back with bulged eyes as he watched the penis disappear between the slobbering but shapely lips of the old woman. The hot, liquid mouth almost devoured the member and in a very short time, the semen surged through the head into her mouth. But she kept on swallowing the sexual secretions with a hunger she had never experienced before.
And since the boy's parents wouldn't return for hours, there was plenty of time for more acts with the boy who was more than fifty years her junior. Now, all pretense had been shattered. Undressing slowly, she thrilled to the response on his face as various parts of her body hove into view. The breasts, heavy and full, splashed into the boy's line of vision. But she took the greatest delight in showing off her exposed genitals, the hairy vulva, the cheeks of her buttocks. Standing before him, she pulled apart the labial lips to let him peer excitedly down into the vagina. Then, she turned around to pull apart the cheeks of her rear end and let him squint up the rectum. His penis charged stiffly upward again despite the recent loss of semen.
When Laura saw the revitalized bone, she started to have direct sexual relations with him, again. The boy was still seated and this time, she merely squatted over his genitals, took hold of the penis and guided it easily into her vagina. Then, she took hold of his hands and held them over her breasts. When the satisfactory position was obtained, she proceeded to ride the boy by bucking up and down. Once again, the virile youngster burst out a load of semen and Laura discharged also. Later when she described the scene to her psychologist, she claimed that the climax with the boy was the most intense and most satisfactory in her entire life.
Throughout the remainder of the voyage, Laura managed to have sexual relations with the youngster on two more occasions. And on her return home, she vowed to seek out boys of the same age or younger to have sex with. She felt younger, she claimed, more able to cope with her problems, more at ease with herself. Although she did not resume sexual relations with her husband, their relationship improved because of her improved disposition. But sex with young boys became an obsession with her. She searched for them, tirelessly. Sometimes she found boys who were more than willing to go to bed with her and sometimes she had to use her skill in seducing them. But she remained continually on the prowl for puberty-aged boys of thirteen or younger.
Laura was never apprehended or charged with statutory rape. She volunteered her information to the analyst and made no apologies for her conduct. She felt that under the circumstances, she was doing the right thing for herself. At no time did she experience feelings of guilt or remorse or feel she had contributed to the delinquency of a minor. To the contrary, she felt she did them a favor for they'd be better lovers when they grew older.
When the fear factor which initially drove Laura into pedophiliacal behavior becomes extreme, the subject exhibits extreme behavioral characteristics which quite often grow into perversions. This is especially true about the professional women who, for the most part, were better educated and more intelligent than the other groups of women analyzed. When an intelligent woman is driven to have sexual relations with a young boy, she, quite often, worries about it later on. In many cases, the women have grandchildren the age of the boy seduced. And after the sexual excitation has past, the guilty conscience takes over. At first, she makes a vow that she'll never again permit herself to act in such a base and perverse manner and an illegal manner as well. She berates herself for foul conduct unbecoming a woman of professional standing and reputation. Public exposure could mean disgrace with her family and the abrupt end of her professional career.
Such a vow will last for a while but a woman inclined towards pedophiliacal behavior will, sooner or later, resume the activity. The fear factor will not obliterate the original motive. And when her mind and body craves sexual activity again, she'll turn to young boys. But with a guilty conscience intact, her behavior will turn towards the extreme. While she still craves sex with the boy, she develops a strong feeling for punishment. Punishment is the only way to placate her guilty conscience. That's when the pedophile becomes a masochist. The tendency towards masochistic behavior was found to be more prevalent in the professional women group than in any other classification. They're more intelligent, more middle class, more imbued with middle class moralities and more inclined to suffer mentally when they step outside the boundaries established by the middle class moralities. They still want sex with a young boy but they want to be punished for such behavior. The claim can no longer be made that harm is not done to the boy. Masochism is a definite perversion and the boy could be tainted by participating in such an act for the remainder of his life. The pedophile-masochist becomes a threat to herself and the boy as well. He may become convinced that pain is a vital adjunct to sex and develop into a lifelong sadist, or even a masochist. It all depends on the woman and the severity of her need to be punished.
In The Sexual Urge, we're told that, "The importance of physical or psychic pain varies a great deal among pedophile-masochists. In some, pain excites sexual activity, the end of which occurs in the normal way; it is a preparatory excitation. In others, the pain must continue to be felt until the end, whilst the patient plays an absolutely passive role. In others again, pain suffices of itself to procure satisfaction with all its physical accompaniments ; contact with a person of the other sex is quite unnecessary ... "
Professor Fere meant that direct penetration of the vagina by the boy was unnecessary provided he inflicted her with a form of punishment. But he quite explicitly stated that in the case of the pedophile-masochist, the pain had to be inflicted by a boy. In brief, her need to have even perverse relations with a minor boy was still vital to the sex act and to the success of the climax.
Professor Fere went on to say, "Imagination of ill-treatment or some degradation is often enough to produce sexual erythrism. Some masochists are deeply disappointed when they actually experience the ill-treatment they looked forward to so eagerly ... "
This is rarely true in the case of the pedophile-masochist. Punishment at the hands of the boy becomes a driving need for she wants sexual excitement from his young body and at the same time wants her punishment from which she derives sexual satisfaction, also. In five percent of the cases evaluated, the pedophile provided her young lover with a whip for purposes of flagellation. The whipping usually preceded direct copulation between the boy and older woman.
The Sexual Urge by professor Fere examined the act of flagellation by the pedophile-masochist. "The result of flagellation varies accordingly to its intensity and the pedophile-masochist's excitability. Flogging may have either a tonic effect on her, or a depressing one. It may have diffused or local effects depending on the localized, irritable weakness. The general tonic effects of light flagellation were used by doctors from time immemorial ... "
According to Professor Fere then, flagellation may, under certain conditions, have a beneficial effect of the pedophile-masochist. Depending on the severity of her need for punishment, the act may be wholesome and not be considered perverse. He further states that in ancient Rome, " ... many pupils of Coelius Aurelianus credited flagellation with beneficent action in insanity and Galen credits it with tonic power. It has been remarked that certain horse-dealers caused emaciated steeds to look healthier by means of fustigation; hence the strange conclusion that whipping might prove useful in the case of thin and weak people.
Perhaps the professor is right in a few instances but very few pedophile-masochists can be described as weak. To the contrary, they're strong-minded, strong-willed women and they enter most activities with a certain gusto. In the cases evaluated by the Independent Research Corporation, the need for punishment by the professional women who became pedophile-masochists, was great. They wanted to be whipped and severely. They wanted to see the sight of blood spurting from their own bodies and they craved the tonic effects of pain.
When a professional woman developed a guilty conscience and requited punishment, did she always receive the cooperation of the boy? A child of thirteen can hardly be expected to understand the psychology of the masochist. But in almost all cases investigated, the child cooperated with the pedophile-masochist without any prodding. At thirteen, cruelty was still a part of childhood pleasures and he invariably applied the whip with gusto. The inherent dangers in the situation remained. After whipping a woman and then having sexual activity with her, would the boy be inclined to associate the infliction of pain with sex for the remainder of his own sex life? At present, there isn't enough data on such cases to permit a competent psychologist to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion.
In the professional group of women who exhibited pedophiliacal tendencies, the basic motivations related to their behavior weren't always associated with the fear factor in the normal sense of the expression. That is, the loss of status or an impending retirement from their profession had no bearing on their sexual activity. Women as well as aging men reach a point in life when their sexual appetite begins to wane and diminish. While many women in their sixties and even in their seventies remain sexually vigorous and in need of perpetual sexual attention, a certain percentage begin to lose interest in sex. The diminished sexual interest accompanied by advancing age quite often frightens the individual, especially when sex has been a lifelong source of great enjoyment.
This particular state of affairs was discovered to exist most frequently in the professional women group. An intelligent woman does more intensive self analysis and when she doesn't arrive at satisfactory conclusions, she becomes frustrated and is more apt to behave in an erratic manner. Ninety-eight percent of all professional women tested admitted to a lifelong interest in sex; all forms of sex. Suddenly, in her early sixties or older, she is confronted with a diminished appetite. She requires sex at longer intervals and she becomes concerned with the situation. At this point, they begin to feel they need another partner. They attribute their sudden loss of sexual interest in their mate or lover and not themselves. In this respect, they're no different than the aging or middle-aged man who steps out on his wife. He requires a more exciting sex partner, someone who will "turn me on." That's when they start experimenting in an effort to discover what will really turn them on. Of course, many aging men turn towards younger women and girls. It is not surprising then that many aging women seek out the bodies of young men to excite them again.
Unfortunately, as many aging women have discovered, a young man in his twenties who is attracted to an older woman is a lousy lover. Quite often, he has mental hangups and is badly maladjusted. Instead of taking on a fresh and exciting lover, the older woman is stuck with a momma's boy. And that's exactly what an intelligent but older woman doesn't want to become. She is seeking a new thrill from someone who will take the initiative and doesn't want to be saddled with an inept Oedipus Complex type. Again, she experiments with new and more exciting sex partners. She may go through a variety of such experiences such as homosexuality, group sex, or let two or three men make love to her at the same time.
Of the professional pedophile women examined by the Independent Research Corporation, almost all admitted to seeking out a variety of sexual acts before settling on boys and becoming pedophiles. But did sex with young boys revive their flagging interest in sex?
This question was asked of the group of professional women who admitted they were seeking a new approach to sex to revitalize their interest in the subject. Almost one hundred percent of the women queried replied in the affirmative. After experiencing a definite loss of sexual awareness, boys did reactivate their interest and the affairs were highly successful, from their point of view.
Case subject Helen B. fit this pattern of behavior. At age 62, she lost interest in having sexual relations with her slightly older husband. Both agreed to look elsewhere for sexual satisfaction. Experimenting with various facets, the woman, a practicing journalist and quite broad-minded, had a homosexual relationship with another woman and entered into a swinging club's activities in which group sex was practiced in a large living room. In one instance, she retired to a bedroom where two men made love to her at the same time. While one performed cunnilingus on her, she completed the act of fellatio on the other. Still, the situation didn't entirely excite her although she did experience an orgasm during the cunnilingal activity.
In her case, she turned to a boy at the advice and even suggestion of a young couple she had met at the swinging club. The couple invited her to have sex with their twelve-year-old son. Prior to the invitation, Helen B., unlike the other pedophiles in her classification, had never fantasized sex with a young boy. In fact, while she was experimenting with various facets of sexuality, she did not consider a child sex partner, or so she claimed.
However, by the time the suggestion was made, she did accept without a qualm since she was arriving at the frustration point. Also, as a woman journalist, she was very broad-minded and had covered stories for a large, urban newspaper that were even more lurid than a sixtyish-aged woman coupling in bed with a young boy. The boy was of puberty age and had started to masturbate. The parents wanted him to have sex but under conditions which they could control and would be safe for the child. They felt an experience with an older woman would do the boy more good than harm and especially if it was supervised.
The boy was agreeable and so was Helen. And her experience with group sex removed any traces of embarrassment at having an audience. The parents insisted on remaining in the same room as the couple during the coital experience. As the woman started to remove her clothes, she found herself greatly excited, more excited than she'd ever been in her life. As far as she was concerned, this proved beyond a shadow of the doubt that her increasing age had nothing to do with her former state of sexual disinterest. All she required was the proper stimuli and now she found it in the person of a young boy. The fact that she was being watched by her friends and the parents of the boy also contributed to the rising feeling of excitation. The key to her aroused sexual interest? A combination of pedophilia and exhibitionism. In her case, it wasn't merely the act of having direct sexual relations with a boy but the opportunity of exhibiting herself to others.
A probe of the subject's background revealed that she'd been raised in the middle west and in an environment of strict conformity. While she became a newspaperwoman on an urban paper and became broad-minded and tolerant about the lack of morals in others, in her own private life had always been conventional and middle class. The conflict between her occupation as a journalist, her business association with free thinkers of many persuasions and her own inhibited, private life tore at her for many years. It was this lifelong conflict and not her advancing age that ultimately caused her to lose interest in sex. During her experimentations with sex, she discovered her interest rising. But it was the child and the chance to exhibit herself that created the proper chemistry for her rejuvenation.
And once rejuvenated, she performed sexually in the most uninhibited manner. During her marriage she had never performed fellatio, or even permitted her husband to "go down" on her. Now, she freely performed both acts with the boy in front of his parents. And when the time came for the penetration of her vagina with the boy's penis, she encouraged him to speak in the most obscene manner, imaginable. And she, too, uttered obscenities throughout coitus. And she achieved such a successful orgasm that she gladly accepted an invitation to return for more sexual conduct with the boy. In time, other swingers in her club decided to let her have sexual relations with their own teenage children.
At no time was she ever prosecuted, brought before a court of law or accused of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. And this knowledge that she had complete immunity from legal prosecution or censure contributed to the woman's excitement and thirst for more children to have sexual relations with in front of their parents. Krafft-Ebing made a study of such women and gave them the collective name of paraesthesiacs. He believed their desires were pathological and divided such women into two groups; the sensorial paraesthia, the awakening of sexual desire is caused by abnormal external stimuli; in the case of physical paresthesia, it is intensified by various emotional states.
Aging women who turn to children to revitalize their sexual appetites suffer from both conditions. They respond to outside stimuli in the presence of the naked, young and erected body of the boy and in the case of Helen B., the presence of the parents. But she was also responding to an emotional state brought on by her age, her former loss of sexual awareness and her desperate search to find, once again, sexual fulfillment. Sadism or masochism played no part in the sex act with the boy. But was the abnormal circumstances of the act harmful to the growth of the boy?
The parents of the boy, both acknowledged swingers, claimed the experience was beneficial to him and definitely not harmful. They contended that they were living in the latter part of the twentieth century and were not bound by hidebound traditions of the Puritans or the Victorian age which caused by a restrictive moral code, more mental illnesses than at any other period in the history of the human race. Sex was not harmful to a child, they claimed and they urged more parents to seek out older women for their puberty-aged sons.
They could be right. There isn't enough data at present on the subject. However, their radical views are in sharp variance with the generally accepted moral codes of conduct and that fact alone might cause damage to a child in his formative years. There are also the dangers of making the child grow into a promiscuous man, incapable of feeling love or devotion to one woman, alone.
With the women in the professional group who became masochists because of guilty conscience, the psychologist in charge of the survey questioned the remainder of the women on their feelings about contributing to not only the delinquency of the minor but affecting his later sex life. Of their group, all but one responded that they felt no remorse or guilt and that their behavior was human and understandable.
But when asked whether they'd permit their own puberty-aged children or grandchildren to have sexual relations with an older woman, all responded in the negative. They rationalized by pointing out they were not objecting to the sex act between their son or grandson. But the expressed fears that the children would get in the clutches of women who weren't suited for them. In brief, they were not extolling the virtues of chastity for their own children or condemning the sex act, they merely wanted their children to have sex with the right older woman.
The French novelist Balzac agreed with them when he wrote about mothers who fiercely protected the chastity of their daughter but wouldn't want them to marry an inexperienced man. He believed that children of puberty age, boys and girls alike, should receive sexual lessons from older partners under supervised conditions.
The pedophile-professional women might have a point.
CHAPTER FOUR
Working Women and Boys
To understand and appreciate the psychology and motives of the working woman-pedophile, it is necessary to understand her involvement in the Woman's Lib Movement. Contrary to general opinion, Woman's Lib is not a recent phenomenon for it's been around for a very long time, before the turn of the century. At first working women organized themselves to redress certain and glaring inequities involved with employment and their position in American political life. Eventually, the ideology of the Woman's Libber grew to include a hatred of the male. The man was her enemy, her competitor, the person who wrote anti-feminist laws, who barred her from certain occupations, who expected her to work for less hours at less pay and who, generally, held her down. A few even turned to lesbianism although they weren't particularly aroused by the sight of another naked female body. They simply hated men.
With this psychological background of anti-maleness, the women who fall into the group of the working woman-pedophile differ sharply from pedophiles in other categories. The working women who became pedophiles in almost every instance either belonged or supported Woman's Lib. Their responses to a series of questions devised by clinical psychologists and psychiatrists revealed a hostility towards the grown, adult male. Yet, they were physically normal, had sexual thoughts and desires like women in the other groups and even fantasized sexual acts in the privacy of their bedrooms. Still, the anti-male feeling persisted. And only a small percentage of the group found release in their sexual needs in homosexual acts. While they condoned lesbianism, they didn't practice the act themselves.
In Modem Woman, the authors, Ferdinand Lundberg and Marynia F. Farnham M.D. describe the energies and activities of Woman Libbers during pre-World War I days. They're remarkably similar to current happenings. " ... the women (the Libbers) gradually passed from heckling to physical violence. What the public was witnessing was really a mass temper tantrum inspired by politically ambitious women. The violence became exceptionally great and even though confined to a minority of women and to only one section of the feminist movement, it was significant of feeling more or less consciously entertained by a great many women, both in England and elsewhere. Similar tactics were employed abroad ... Heckling, stone throwing, simple assault and arson were widely resorted to ... "
All of the above happened just prior to the first World War. The feminist movement of the 1970's contains as many angry and violent-oriented women but their approach has been different. While they still resort to expressing their disapproval of the anti-feminist society during mass rallies and demonstrations, they rarely resort to violence. They've become sophisticated. The leaders are much too clever to be caught in the violence trap. Instead, they challenge anti-feminist laws in courts of law and even argue certain cases up the Supreme Court.
This keeps the leaders of the contemporary feminist movement occupied and provides a vent for their energies. But the rank and file must wait for developments. Meanwhile, one very great problem for them remains. What to do with their stored-up energies, their hostility to men and the so-called male-oriented chauvinistic society in which they're forced to function. They need and even crave sex but the more fanatical members refuse to have anything to do with a mature, chauvinistic, male pig and they won't accept the homosexuality route. They turn to boys.
Marcy C. 58, lost her job as an assembler in an aircraft factory after fifteen years of continuous employment. Work, she found was either scarce or even non-existent to a female in her late fifties. Long divorced, she had little to do with men and now she blamed her circumstances on the male-favoring society that took away her job in the plant and gave it to a man. The fact that her replacement had more seniority meant nothing to her. She grew increasingly bitter and even broke off her relationship with a man she met once a week for sex. After the first month, she realized she'd acted hasty for she was a strongly-sexed woman and needed male attention. Yet, she was too proud and too hostile against the male world to resume the relationship.
The woman's opportunity to have sex with a twelve-year-old boy came when she started to earn a meager living as a baby sitter. Matronly looking, young couples immediately trusted her and felt sorry for her, too. In one home, the subject arrived to sit for a five-year-old girl who had a twelve-year-old brother. Alone with the children, she, at first, didn't give sex any thought. But later in the evening, the boy asked her to accompany him to the bathroom and hold his penis while he urinated. His mother was in the habit of providing such a service for the boy who was still strongly tied to his mother's apron strings. Her first inclination was to refuse but after realizing the boy was completely sincere in his request, she obliged.
Standing beside him in the bathroom, she brushed up against his firm and sloping buttocks while he exposed his penis. Reaching down, she took the member in her hand. The mere touch of the penile skin sent electric sparks exploding throughout her body. Now, every area of contact between her body and that of the boy burned through her skirt. Her breast pressed tightly against the back of his head and she had to fight an impulse to stroke the ivory-colored shaft with the pinkish glands that seemed to sparkle up at her. With her index finger she probed and located the extremely, almost silky skin of the scrotal sacs.
The boy began to urinate. Everything about the act turned her on, the splash of liquid in the water bowl, the odor of the urine, the way the stream gushed through the eye on the head. Everything electrified her and her body began to respond heatedly to the potentially explosive situation. This little boy, she rationalized, wasn't a man, a chauvinistic pig who suppressed womankind or would deprive her of employment. To the contrary, he was still innocent, still at an age where he could be molded to become a decent man.
As the flow thinned to a trickle and then to nothingness, the woman made a quick, impulsive decision. Instead of stuffing the penis back into the boy's trousers, she started to stroke the member until the tissues firmed and the staff erected. All the while, her other hand, fondled the scrotal sacs and her hips arched lewdly back and forth against his buttocks. Fortunately, the boy didn't object. The babysitter, a mature, matronly figure represented authority and his mother had instructed him to do her bidding. When she realized the boy was compliant, the babysitter threw all caution to the winds. It had been months since she had sexual activity of any nature and she found herself responding excitedly to the sight and feel of the boy's body.
"Take off your clothes," she ordered. "I'll give you a bath before you go to bed."
Without questioning her authority to give him a bath, the boy quickly disrobed. The feminist caught her breath. Completely captivated by the flawless skin of youth, the fat-free body, the leanness and sweetness of youth, she hugged him to her body and bluntly told him she was going to give him loving. Since his affectionate mother often hugged him and made over his good looks, the boy didn't think her expression was, in any way, unnatural or strange.
Sitting him down on the toilet bowl, the babysitter pulled up her skirt and struggled with her girdle until the lower portion of her body was nude. The way the boy's eyes absorbed the sight of her exposed and hairy vulva excited her all the more.
And by now, the boy was completely entranced by the exciting developments. Puberty-aged, he had been filled with new and disturbing sex thoughts and curiosity about the sight of a woman's sex thing between her legs. Now, he was astounded to realize there was no appendage that hung down. There was nothing but a lot of curly hair and a trench-like slit that sliced up her body, a sort of hole. And into that hole, his penis quickly disappeared as the woman straddled him. The warmth and sensuous moisture from the soft cuntal canyon enveloped his entire body. Then, she started to buck up and down, her knees flexing back and forth as her entire body rose up and dropped and the faster she moved the more excited he grew until he thought his entire body was going to fly apart.
The resulting orgasm shattered him momentarily as it did the woman. The burning, virginal gism shot up her vagina as her inner walls flushed out oily secretions from her own body. For what seemed a very long time, the skin over her entire body trembled and shivered as the vagina continued to eject fluid. Then, she staggered backward, spent and delirious with happiness. The impulsive decision had given her the most exciting climax of her life.
On completion of coitus, she assumed an authoritative tone of voice and ordered the boy to remain silent about the act. Since, she represented a mother figure to him, he obeyed. He had been trained never to question his elders. And every time, she was called in to babysit in the home, she quickly marched the boy into the bathroom and had sexual relations with him. In time, he learned how to respond more actively with his own body, his hands and certain expression she taught him.
She was never apprehended.
Of all the working women questioned who had sexual relations with minors, the majority either actively belonged to the Woman's Lib Movement or passively supported it. The pedophiles from this group turned to boys since they trusted men and rejected homosexuality. However, one additional principle motive was discovered in the working women group. Unhappiness. A certain percentage of the women analyzed in this group were simply unhappy with their lot in life. They were bored with a low-paying, dead-end job and at home were dissatisfied with their marriage, or their spinsterhood. Poverty breeds boredom and unhappiness because after the bills are paid from a small wage, there's nothing left over, no place to go, nothing to do but stay home.
The single women in this group usually met unattached men in the same boat. They were employed on low-paying jobs, had little education and were outright bores. Freud believed that one out of three working women were neurotic. Contemporary psychologists believe the figure is still accurate.
The conclusion seems inescapable. Unhappiness among working-women-pedophiles traced directly to poverty or conditions on a boring, unremunerative job is increasing. The result of that type of unhappiness is neurosis. And the expression of that neurosis is aberrant sexual behavior. In the case of the pedophiles, they will impulsively have sexual relations with boys merely to relieve the monotony of their own lives by doing something different, something objectionable to a male-dominated society whom they blame for their unhappy lot in life.
The survey conducted by the Independent Research Corporation revealed one other motive for female pedophiliacal behavior in the working group. Low intelligence. While this low-intelligence factor was an insignificant one, it did exist and accounted for a fraction of one percent of all women tested. Also, this group tended to reside in rural areas. Fear of discovery in the urban areas remained an inhibiting factor.
CHAPTER FIVE
The Female Pedophile and Fetishism
One of the most disturbing aspects of female, pedophiliacal behavior evolves around the tendency of a fairly large group tested to prefer fetishistic practices involving young boys. Fetishism is a sexual deviation in which excitement or gratification is derived from a part of the body or an inanimate object such as the boy's undergarment, shoes, stockings. The parts of the body most commonly preferred by fetish-practitioners are the buttocks, thighs, legs, feet, hair and ears.
According to The Encyclopedia of Human behavior, "Fetishism is an exaggeration of a normal tendency to attach special significance to parts of the anatomy and objects associated with the opposite sex . .. The true fetishist actually achieves sexual excitement and even satisfaction from kissing, fondling, tasting, smelling or licking the objects ... In many cases, this type of sexual activity is the preferred or only source of sexual gratification.
"Many fetishists develop a compulsive urge to obtain the cherished articles and will go to any lengths to get them. Young men steal dozens of stockings from shops or burglarize homes in search of female underwear ... Satisfaction is obtained by putting on the stolen article or masturbating while examining them. The risk and excitement involved in stealing usually increases the sexual excitation ... "
The excitation for the female pedophile is greatly increased when a young boy is involved for the risks are much higher but the rewards, from their point of view, are much more worthwhile. The motivations for the female pedophile who prefers fetishism are attributed to two major reasons. According to the Encyclopedia, "fetishism appears to develop from two major sources. First, it is based on a conditioning process in which objects acquire sexual significance through association with individuals who are sexually attractive. This is a normal reaction and explains the tendency to become fond of a particular odor ... "
In the survey of female-pedophiles who practiced fetishism with young boys, the odors that attracted them weren't necessarily fragrant by normal standards. Odors of excreta from the soiled undergarments transported several women into an ecstatic frenzy. But they were associative odors. They reminded the women of a particular blissful experience in past years, or even a childhood experience with a boy.
The other principle motive for fetishism is object substitution. The Encyclopedia informs us that, " ... if a woman is immature and develops a fear of rejection by the opposite sex, she may fall back on the significant object as a substitute for the real object for her affection. At this point, it may become generalized and any odor or any article of clothing will do. She, therefore, begins collecting these objects and finds that this activity affords her sexual excitement or gratification without risk of failure or humiliation from the other sex. Her original natural interest has become a deviation ... "
In what way does the run-of-the-mill female fetishist differ from the one who seeks out articles of clothing from young boys, or who become impassioned with a certain part of the young boys' anatomy such as his buttocks or penis?
The female pedophile who becomes sexually aroused by a boy's undergarments, or a certain section of his anatomy is immature, fearful of the opposite sex, afraid of rejection and has a tendency to live in the past. But, she doesn't become clinically abnormal until a mere article of clothing, or a part of the anatomy serves as her exclusive outlet for sexual gratification. This fact is especially emphasized by the Danish psychologists Inge and Sten Hegeler in An ABZ of Love. They state, "But such things (fetishism) do not become aberrant and perhaps unfortunate, until the subject's whole sex life begins to concentrate in cuddling a detached piece of clothing, or in cutting off a few strands of hair, for then, the normal, versatile sex life has become inhibited and obstructed and she may start encroaching upon others which naturally cannot be tolerated, no matter how much psychological explanation and sympathy we may be able to produce ... "
In this conclusion, the Hegeler's are merely concurring with Sigmund Freud who stated, "Fetishism becomes pathological only when the striving for the fetish fixes itself beyond such determinations and takes the place of the normal sexual aim; or again, when the fetish disengages itself from the person concerned and itself becomes a sexual object. These are the general determinants for the transition of mere variations of the sexual instinct to pathological aberrations."
Freud believed that the seeds for the fetish fixation were sewn early in childhood. "The persistent influence of a sexual impression mostly received in early childhood often shows itself in the selection of a fetish." The object selected by the grown woman reminds her of a childhood experience which was entirely normal but left a lasting impression in her mind.
Cynthia T. 54, engaged in many sexual affairs with the soiled undershorts of thirteen-year-old boys. Her fixation was quite restrictive. The garment had to be soiled, had to belong to a thirteen-year-old boy and had to be given to her with the boy's consent. Unlike many fetishists, she required the cooperation of the person who owned the article of clothing. In her case, the basic motivation for the fetish wasn't a fear of rejection or any imaginary fear of the opposite sex. But as she aged, she began to regress to the past in general and in particular to a love affair she experienced as a child. The period of her first big romance marked, in her mind, the happiest time of her life. She, as part of a large, happy family, had many friends and felt secure. Her love affair with a thirteen-year-old boy kept crystallizing in her middle -age. The incident she remembered most clearly was the time she and the boy went swimming together along the secluded bank of a river. Undressing, they exposed their naked bodies to each other and then made impassioned love. Scattered about them during this episode of wild, impassioned love making, were the boy's clothes. Especially the undergarments. An odor of excreta emanated from the soiled shorts of the boy who came from a poor family where hygiene was not observed very carefully. But this pungent odor, throughout the course of the blissful lovemaking session, filtered through the nostrils of the girl as the most fragrant smell she'd ever inhaled.
As their bodies exploded, shooting wave after wave of orgasmic fluid into each other's body, the smell of the boy's soiled undergarments clung heavily to her nostrils. For the remainder of her life, she'd associate the odor of excreta from undergarments to climatic bliss. Later, the incident slipped from her conscious to subconscious mind. The girl grew up, married, had a family of her own. But at age 54, found herself alone, the marriage dissolved, her children grown and away. Filled with dread of her advancing age, she regressed more and more into childhood fantasies, the time when she was happiest. And her olfactory senses were assailed by the odors of memory, the odors of the boy's undergarments she'd inhaled so blissfully during her very first coital experience. To recapture that one, heavenly, perfect moment in time became her all-consuming goal. And to translate an abstraction into reality, she'd require an undergarment from a thirteen-year-old boy and the fabric had to be soiled. At age 54, she became a practicing pedophile who specialized in fetishism. Once she acquired the love object, the soiled undergarment, she'd masturbate in front of the boy.
The woman who confines her pedophiliacal tendencies to fetishism is generally considered harmless. In only a small percent of such cases does she want the active cooperation of the boy. Most pedophile-fetishists prefer to masturbate in privacy with the love object in their arms. The love object is either the undergarment from the boy, or some other piece of his clothing or a lock of hair. However, when the fixation becomes extreme, the pedophile-fetishist threatens both herself and society.
The pedophile-fetishist who is frustrated, unable to find a boy who will cooperate with her invariably becomes a thief, a kleptomaniac. In Human Sexuality, we're told that, "Kleptomania is compulsive stealing, usually of an object that is of no value to the thief, except for its sexual symbolism or because of its association with sexual gratification. The kleptomaniac is typically an emotionally disturbed woman who is beset with feelings of being unloved and unwanted ... She steals undergarments, in many instances, to achieve erotic stimulation through the symbolic nature of the clothing and through the excitement and suspense of the very act of stealing. When apprehended, these individuals are reluctant to admit to the sexual implications of their behavior ... "
The pedophile-fetishist who becomes a compulsive thief breaks the law, endangering herself and others in the execution of the thief. The problem becomes instantly much more serious than the individual who merely chooses to break a socially accepted moral law. Morals are or have become a matter of individual taste. But law against thievery concerns everyone. Yet, kleptomania is a mild form of aberration compared with a much more serious pattern of behavior followed by more than just a few pedophile-fetishists. Pyromania.
In Human Sexuality, we're told that, "Pyromania is compulsive fore-setting that often has sexual overtones. The relationship between fire and sex is apparent from such terms as in heat and becoming hot for someone. Sexual excitement and gratification usually occur as the person sets the fire, or during the early stages of the conflagration. Once orgasm occurs, the individual usually feels guilty and frequently steps forward to extinguish the fire. A large number of these fetishists are psychotic ... "
The older woman, completely frustrated in finding a soiled article of clothing from a young boy to love, turns to pyromania to relieve her pent-up feelings. The fire, symbolized, in her tortured mind, the impassioned heat emanating from the youthful body of a hot-blooded boy making love. This extreme and bizarre sort of conduct only happens when the woman is completely frustrated in her efforts to find an article of clothing from a boy.
The pedophile-fetishist then can range from the harmless, aging woman who masturbates in private with a piece of the boy's clothing pressed against her face. Or, she may become completely psychotic in behavior by degenerating into kleptomania or even in the extreme, pyromania.
But even in her most harmless phase of her aberration, is she a threat to the future mental health of the boy?
In most cases, she isn't since the average pedophile-fetishist desires privacy while she masturbates with the love object, usually an article of clothing, in one hand. When she does include the boy in her act, the chances are that no great mental harm is done provided she merely masturbate in his presence. In certain instances, she may dwell on a portion of his anatomy as the love object. In these cases, the part of the boy's body most admired is the rear section, the buttocks. The woman embraces the cheeks of the boy's buttocks and whispers words of endearment and also covers the skin with kisses. During this activity, she'll masturbate and in most cases, the boy does, also.
In a certain, small percentage of such cases, the woman is driven to extremes by biting and ripping at the boy's skin with her teeth and fingernails. In such instances, she may inadvertently castrate him, or puncture the skin to such an extent, blood-poisoning sets in.
In ninety-seven percent of all pedophile-fetishist cases examined, however, the boy suffered no mental or physical harm. In certain instances, the psychologist believed that the mental health of the boy was actually strengthened by making him realize, early in life, that sexual activity can be expressed in diverse ways, in a manner that fits the personality and needs of the individual.
CHAPTER SIX
Pedophilia and Incest
Many aging women who seek out young boys for sexual relations are playing out a long suppressed desire: to have sexual relations with a younger member of their own family. In most cases, the desire of an overly possessive mother to make her son utterly dependent on her, physically, mentally and every other way. During the boy's childhood and formative adolescence, such women live in dread of the day when their cherished son will become full grown and leave them. Of course, they do and the woman is eventually left alone. The pedophile-female with incestuous overtones to her conduct doesn't actively practice her aberration until her late sixties, a time in life when she's usually widowed, children are grown and apart from her and she's living alone. During this difficult period in her life, she'll live in the past, recalling scenes of her son's childhood and dependency on her and her alone. Quite frequently, she'll masturbate with the image of her son as he appeared during childhood. Few women in this category ever did have direct sexual contact with their sons as children. There could have been a great deal more petting, more "fussing over" then average mothers do with their children. But a coital relationship did not exist.
To understand the female-pedophile who, in her older years, does have direct sexual contact with a young boy because of her incestuous fixation, one must understand the mechanics and motivations behind the act of incest in general and in particular the type of incest which drives a mother to bed down her own son.
The abhorrence against a mother having sexual relations with a son or sexual conduct of any nature between close members of the same family is not instinctive but a socially acquired trait. To protect the mental stability of future generations, society condemns incest and rightfully so for inherited genetic traits from closely related parents become exaggerated and even grotesque. In the past, royal offspring's tended to have mental or physical abnormalities from too much inbreeding by their family line. It must be pointed out, however, this occurs only when latent hereditary defects exist in family lines. Copulation between members of the same family who are mentally and physically sound produce no adverse effects. But since adverse effects transmitted by genes may skip several generations before manifesting themselves again, no one can be absolutely certain that inbreeding will not produce a deformed offspring in the very next generation.
A more widely accepted explanation for the prevalence of incest taboos is that sexual conduct between close family members is that incest disrupts family life and provides a hindrance to society from enlarging and strengthening itself through outside relationships. In his theory of psycho-sexual development, Freud believed that, "Every child experiences incestuous impulses directed toward the parent of the opposite sex." This belief formed the foundation of his Oedipus Complex theory. Succeeding generations of psychoanalysts have agreed with Freud and only lately however, has the theory been enlarged upon.
Few psychologists still dispute that the puberty-aged boy develops a sexual fixation with his own mother. Many boys go through a period when they actively masturbate with the image of their mother firmly affixed in the mind. A great deal of clinical study has been devoted to the Oedipus Complex, how it develops and how it manifests itself in later years. However, until recently, very little work has been done to determine whether or not the Oedipus Complex works in reverse. What about the mothers? Do they develop a sexual fixation for the son? Do they fantasize themselves having sexual relations with the child? And if the opportunity arises, will they take it? Will they actually have direct sexual conduct with the boy?
Until recently, data on incest involving a mother-son relationship has been extremely difficult to obtain. Very few cases involving a mother-son sexual relationship reach the courts. Yet, according to McCary, " ... the act of incest probably occurs far more frequently than the average citizen realizes. The offense is more likely to occur in families of low socioeconomic levels than in others ... " He goes on to claim that, " ... mother-son incest is a rare occurrence. Its incidence may be somewhat higher than is suspected because when this incest does take place, it is not likely to be reported by either party ... "
This has been the case for many years and until quite recently. In the early 1970s, the beginning of the so-called sexual revolution, all sorts of aberrant, sexual conduct began to receive a great deal of public attention and society in general began to take a more relaxed, more tolerant attitude towards all sorts of sexual conduct. By 1973, when the Independent Research Corporation undertook to study the various aspects of female-pedophilia, subjects were more willing to come forward and discuss their sexual conduct. Community standards had already accepted pornographic films in first run movie theaters. The climate for a frank and free discussion for sexual conduct had already been established before the survey commenced its work.
The woman who in later years develops pedophiliacal tendencies through incestuous motivations follows certain recognizable patterns of behavior. As a young woman she grew alienated against her husband and turned towards her son to fill the void in her life. As the boy grew older, she became more dependent on him for social activities and as a source of love and affection. When the son marries, the mother becomes the typical interfering mother-in-law. She regards her son's wife as a rival for his affections. Later when her other children leave her and she's either widowed or divorced, her thoughts return to the boy on whom she had lavished so much love in earlier years. In her thinking, they were the happiest years of her life and introspect, the only period in which she happily accepted life's challenges and vicissitudes.
Alone and aging, she begins to regret not binding her son closer to her during the earlier years. In her mind she flirts with the notion of sex. If she had seduced her son when he was a boy, he'd be with her still, she rationalizes. This dream-wish now finds expression in mastubatory practices with the fantasy of the beloved son in her mind. In her fantasies, she sees the boy as he looked as a child. And in these same fantasies, she performs violent but highly satisfactory sex acts with him. And each act is climaxed, in her fantasies, with the boy exclaiming his life-long devotion and promising never to leave her.
Eventually, the fantasies with the accompaniment of masturbation, no longer satisfies the woman. She must have an actual, physical presence, a stronger reminder of her son. Then, the woman slides easily into pedophiliacal behavior. In truth, she is not looking for a young boy merely to have a sexual release with. She's looking for her son, as he appeared years ago and this time, she'll bind him to her.
In all cases of pedophilia examined with incestuous overtones, the pedophile invariably forced the boy to keep shouting during coitus. These shouts were affirmations of his love, his loyalty and his promise never to leave her. Compliant to the demands of an older, maternal person, most of the boys complied with the orders of the woman involved.
Teresa J. 66, fit the profile of the typical pedophile with a background of incestuous desires. Abandoned by her husband as a young woman, she reared her only son without help from anyone. The boy became the center of her universe and she even gave up opportunities of a remarriage because she felt it would interfere with her duties as a mother. The child was extremely possessive and when a man came around her displayed signs of jealousy. This drove off her suitors but delighted the woman because such expression of love from her son delighted her.
Once when the boy was recovering from a sick spell, she permitted him to sleep with her. During the night she awoke to discover the sleeping boy had erected. For the first time in her life, the thought of having direct, physical contact with him solidified. Gently, she eased back the covers in order to more closely examine the turgid staff and she found herself both pleased and excited. For the first time, she realized her son was completely normal, that he responded to the closeness of a woman. Previously, raising him without the benefit of a male father figure had given her periods of deep concern. She'd read of boys growing up to become homosexuals under similar circumstances. Now, she knew once and for all that her son was definitely female oriented. And a sudden, almost overwhelming urge came over her to awaken the boy and give him sexual release. However, she managed to stifle this urge. And during the night, she was gratified to note that the boy had a normal, so-called wet dream or night-time emission. The sight of her son's boned-up penis discharging gobs of creamy semen burned an impression in her mind she'd never forget.
From that time on, she began to fantasize scenes in her mind with the boy as her lover. And from that time on, she never did accept another man as her sweetheart. She devoted herself to the exclusive business of raising the boy without any outside interference, or as she referred to them, outside problems, meaning suitors or lovers.
Eventually, the boy left for college, entered the military and on his release married. He never did return to live with his mother and saw her only at infrequent intervals. Growing into an active and independent-minded, young man, he actually sought release from the cloying, suffocating atmosphere of his mother's home. He was simply glad to be free of her.
After her retirement at age 65, the woman had more time to dwell on her past life with her son. The happiest times when they were closest was during his puberty age, about thirteen. Then, he was utterly dependent on her and that was the age she had witnessed his seminal discharge during the night. At first, she began to fantasize the episode of being in bed with her son. Only, in her erotic visions, the boy awakened and gladly had sexual relations with her. Masturbating in tune with the fantasy sufficed at first. Later, the mentally disturbed, aging woman sought young boys to dominate as she had once dominated her son. This time, she was determined not to repeat her earlier mistake that kept her from having physical relations with the youth. Sex would bind the boy to her, once and for all.
This time, she adopted a thirteen-year-old boy from an orphanage who no one else wanted. Despite her age and the fact she'd long been widowed, the orphanage was glad to relinquish the boy in her trust since no one else wanted him at his age. But he suited the woman, perfectly. She re-named him, giving him the same name as her son. She even dressed him in similar clothes and on the very first night seduced him. The boy, terrified he'd be sent back to the orphanage if he refused, complied with her every wish. Living in an orphan asylum with many other boys and girls, he was not entirely ignorant about sex. On several occasions, the adult, female attendants had sexual relations with him. And if having sex with the old woman secured his position in her home, he gladly gave his body to her.
During intercourse, the pedophile insisted the boy call her mother and she constantly called him "son." And she remained throughout the relationship, the dominant partner, the overbearing but concerned mother. With the boy-son, she climaxed easily and often and as she later confessed to the examining analyst, began to experience the most exciting, sexual relations in her entire life. Throughout intercourse, she continued to fantasize the face of her real son as he looked at age thirteen.
Moralists decry cases involving pedophiliacal women with incestuous overtones and insist such behavior reflects the sick age we're living in, today. Nothing could be farther from the truth. As Freud contended, the puberty-aged boy instinctively yearns to have sexual relations with his own mother. And as modern-day psychoanalysts realize, mothers possess a latent desire to feel the penis of their son penetrate their own vagina. This is not a recent occurrence, a symptom of contemporary decadence. Such feelings have always existed between son and mother and between mother and son.
Freud coined the expression Oedipus Complex from the Greek legend of King Oedipus as dramatized by the playwright Sophocles in his Oedipus Rex. Freud adopted the expression to denote the son's sexual attraction to the mother. But in the play by Sophocles, the mother was equally as attracted to the son and did, in fact, marry the boy and bear his two children. Of course, in the play, Jocasta, the queen-mother didn't know the young man was actually her son. Yet, she felt an instinctive attraction to him and had an unusually exciting sex life with her own won. Of course, in the custom of Greek theater, the play ends tragically when mother and son realize their true relationship. Still, the work of great art illustrates the fact that sons and mothers have been drawn to each other sexually for many thousands of years. The female-pedophile with incestuous inclinations is not a recent innovation or a reflection of our own times, exclusively. She's always been around but now we're learning a lot more about her since she, today, is more openly discussed than in previous periods and data gathering methods have been greatly improved upon.
The yearning for an aging woman to return to the happier days of her youth is not the only motive of the female-pedophile with incestuous inclinations. Quite often a woman married to a strong man produces a weak and indecisive child. The offspring is a disappointment and to the horror of both parents becomes a homosexual on reaching maturity. Despite public disclaimers to the contrary, the father repudiates and disowns the son while the mother spends the remainder of her life in a private agony. Where did she go wrong in raising the child? Invariably, the mother blames herself for the son's effeminate nature. Filled with remorse, she's certain that the fault lies in the manner in which she raised the boy. Over and over again, throughout the remainder of her life, she agonizes, "If I only had it to do over again ... " In retrospect and if she is completely honest, she becomes aware of the fact that she did fail her son. In the beginning, as a young boy, when he first began to display effeminate characteristics, she recoiled in horror at his behavior . Instead of facing the situation and giving the boy medical help, she chose to ignore his "sissified" ways and coldly rejected him. The father, of course, had long rejected the boy for "not being like the other kids." Instead of giving the child the love and understanding he was so desperately reaching out for, they coldly turned away from him. Since he had nowhere to go, he turned inward, shunning the association of other children his own age, becoming over imaginative, adopting effeminate ways. He didn't understand why he didn't like football, or athletic games, or why he couldn't compete physically with other boys his own age. Their laughter hurt him and when he turned towards his parents for the answers, they ignored him.
In the wisdom of her older years, alone now and unloved herself, the woman realizes she did ignore her son, she did fail him when he so desperately needed help.
According to the Encyclopedia, "Studies of rejecting mothers show that they are likely to be dissatisfied with their marriage, to have an unsatisfactory sex life, or to resent the responsibility of raising children. The fathers and sometimes the mothers as well, were usually spoiled in their childhood, dominated by their mothers, or subjected to harsh and inconsistent treatment. In their own cases, their own parents were poorly mated and there was excessive friction in the home ... "
This description of the rejected child is so common and has such a strong bearing on the future conduct of pedophiliacal women who earlier failed their son that the effects of this rejection on the son as well as mother must also be documented. "Parental rejection invariably has a damaging effect on the child's personality. Constant disapproval or punishment undermine self-esteem, corrodes self-confidence and gives rise to feelings of frustration, helplessness and insecurity. The child who has failed to receive affection will almost inevitably have difficulty bestowing affection on others. He is apt to feel that the world is a hostile place and will not respect other people to be friendly and when they try to show him affection, his guard will immediately go up and he will become reserved or mistrustful. He will also be inclined to develop symptoms of emotional disturbance: nail biting, stuttering and in some cases aggressive or antisocial behavior ... "
When Cynthia B.'s son was twelve years old, he fit the classic description of the rejected, anti-social acting boy. He made no friends and didn't appear to want any. Disinterested in athletics, the boy's father showed an open contempt which drove the boy further into himself. And instead of trying to understand and reach the boy, he rejected him. A socially-conscious Cynthia tried to make her son interest himself in athletics and become part of the social group. After her very strong efforts were met with failure, she gave up on her son and in her own way rejected him, too. Eventually, he turned to the company of homosexuals where he found acceptance and friendship. Whether or not he became an active homosexual was never discovered. But he identified with individuals and groups who were also rejected by society and didn't fit the mold approved by society. In his late teens, he left home and never returned.
As Cynthia aged, she began to realize that she'd failed her son and by the time she reached her late fifties blamed herself for not trying to reach and understand him. Alone now and more compassionate, she more keenly understood the problems her own son must have faced. Convinced that if she ever received a second chance, she'd be able to win back her son. At that point in her life, the mere sight of a thirteen-year-old boy excited her, sexually. This was the age when her son first became estranged from his parents. Haunted by her past failure and obsessed with the need for a second chance, the woman began to have a series of affairs with young boys. In them, she detected the traits of her son and throughout each affair she emphasized her desire to understand the youth, to become a sort of mother-confessor as well as sweetheart. In this manner, she felt she was compensating for her own failure. And throughout the duration of the love affair with the boy, she'd question him closely regarding home relations, whether or not he had a good rapport with his parents. In one instance, she even contacted the parents of the boy she was going to bed with and tried to counsel them with his problems. Terrified that other young boys would grow up and be rejected by their parents, she tried to search them out and give them the love and understanding denied them in their own homes.
As Cynthia's empathy for rejected boys grew, her compulsion to sleep with them in order to help them psychologically also grew. Her true motives for pedophilical behavior were not selfish or self centered but then, the motives of the great majority of aging women who became pedophiles were unselfish. They were either compensating for past failures, returning to happier times in the past, or trying to help a rejected boy become more aware of his potential for achievement and happiness.
CHAPTER SEVEN
The Pedophile Nymph
Nymphomania is generally associated with young girls with a voracious appetite for sex. The disorder, for the most part mental, can afflict women of any age. In many cases, a strong sex drive doesn't manifest itself until middle or past middle-age in the life of the woman. When older women become suddenly obsessed with sex, they usually channel their efforts in the direction of young boys. They, therefore, become what psychologists refer to as "pedophile-nymphs."
Regarding this type of disorder, Human Sexuality tells us that, "The sexual craving is unquenchable regardless of the number of orgasms and the pleasure received from them. Nymphomania is compulsive and the sexual behavior in the true sense of the word, impelling the victim to irrational and self-defeating activities with all the stresses and problems that any compulsion causes. Typically, the nymphomaniac is consumed with feelings of self-contempt because of society's attitude toward excessive sexual behavior in any form."
This latter statement is no longer true since the sexual revolution of the early 1970s. Excessive sexual conduct is no longer frowned upon or condemned but approved in certain segments of our modern society. And because of these changing social attitudes to excessive sexual activity, more people, especially women, are willing to talk about their sex lives and aberrations. And this tendency to be more vocal about conduct that has always been considered private, provides psychologists with more accessible and authentic documentation than in past surveys.
What causes a woman to develop a seemingly sudden and unappeasable appetite for sex and with young boys?
According to Human Sexuality, "Psychological explanations for genuine nymphomania are that the woman may be attempting to compensate for sexual deprivation in adolescence and early adulthood, or that she is perhaps seeking a means for release of excessive emotional tensions. Furthermore, she may have fears of frigidity or latent homosexuality that through her nymphomania she seeks to disprove, or she may be using the opposite sex as an unconscious means of revenge against her father. Probably the most frequent cause is an irrational need to be loved and accepted, involving a carry-over of early childhood emphasis on the value of physical body as a tool to gain attention, recognition and acceptance ... "
But why do they seek out boys? And why does the disorder strike so many middle-aged and older women? For many years, their desire for sex is either normal or, quite often, absent. Many women, for many years, were frigid before suddenly turning towards sexual activity with a vengeance. And according to The Encyclopedia, "Many of these women not only engage in promiscuous intercourse but also masturbate several times a day ... " And with reference to the older women. "Many nymphomaniacs are basically frigid women who are unconsciously attempting to prove their sexual normality and adequacy. In some cases, constant intercourse is an unconscious attempt to deny or disguise latent, unrecognized homosexual tendencies ... "
The background of most pedophile-nymphs follow a similar pattern: early seduction and a pathological attachment to an older father or mother figure. Other factors enter the picture, too. "In some women excessive sexual activity may be a response to emotional tension. Today, very few investigators attribute the drive to excessive hormones ... "
Pedophile-Nymphomania is almost exclusively an emotional disturbance which afflicts a small percentage of aging women and for a variety of reasons. An investigation often women from age 50 to 70 who displayed pedophile-nymphomaniacal behavior yielded characteristics and behavioral patterns of a similar nature. Until middle age, all of the women questioned maintained a normal sex appetite. Three women were considered totally frigid. Although married, they reported little satisfaction with their husband's or their own sex reactions. They'd prefer not to have sex and performed the act only out of a sense of duty. But on arriving at the age of fifty, they suddenly developed a keen interest in sex and any erotic activity pertaining to sex. Pornographic materials that had formerly revolted them became a source of amusement and excitement. And they started to have sexual affairs outside of marriage. Finally, they took to seducing young boys and found that they were capable of responding more readily to the pedophile type of situation.
In most cases, the women are trying to compensate for what they now consider a wasted life. Suddenly, they've discovered the joys of sex and inwardly berate themselves for the many years of self-denial. They're desperate to make up for lost time and they want to prove that they can still capture desirable males despite their age. The younger the sex partner, the younger as far as they're concerned and so they reach out for young boys. In this particular category, the pedophile-nymph, they have no desire at all to keep their affairs a secret. To the contrary, they want to tell one and all of their seductions, proving to the world they're still capable and attractive women. But most of all, they're proving to others as well as themselves that they possess an enormous sex drive and are not frigid women. Most are inclined to ascribe their former frigidity to a dull husband or inadequate lover and they're fond of quoting the expression, "There's no frigid women, only inadequate men."
In an extremely small percentage of the pedophile-nymph cases, the former frigidity was due to physical reasons. Sometimes, a woman's clitoris doesn't develop normally due to a lack of hormonal growth and quite often this deficiency isn't recognized until middle age. When finally, she does receive hormone shots, the clitoris develops quite rapidly and the woman is suddenly besieged with a variety and overwhelming sexual urges she never had to cope with before.
Charlotte T. was such a woman. A cold and withdrawn sort of individual, she had married a man of similar temperament, a sexual neuter. He was neither homosexual or particularly frigid. He simply wasn't interested in sex and he felt he made a good choice in Charlotte who made no demands on him. In his business, he required a wife to fit into the required social activities and for many years the marriage worked out according to expectation. He became financially successful, Charlotte made no sexual demands from him and she was also an agreeable companion. But at age 51, while being treated for another sort of female complaint, the physician noticed in his examination, that her clitoris began to grow and with the growth she began to be filled with all sorts of sexual thoughts and desires.
Turning to her husband, she was instantly rebuffed. The man was actually horrified by her sudden interest in sex and recommended a psychiatrist. The mental expert however, merely confirmed that her interest in sex was normal and that she'd better do something about it or suffer a mental breakdown. By the time she consulted the psychiatrist, the woman was distraught and completely frustrated. She'd started to masturbate in private but this didn't help. Unknown to her husband, she rented a secret post office box where she could receive sexually-oriented literature. On her shopping trips in the downtown section, she invariably hunted out a movie that specialized in pornographic films.
Her first foray into adultery ended disastrously. Selecting a friend of her husband, the couple met in a motel but the man was so frightened that his performance suffered. And he couldn't keep up with her demands. After reaching one climax, he was through and felt humiliated when she demanded more satisfaction. Her driving need for satisfaction drove her into pedophiliacal behavior and her first seduction of a boy came about by accident.
During an afternoon of masturbation but with no relief, the door bell rang. Slipping on a bathrobe, she ran to the door to find a thirteen-year-old boy peddling magazine subscriptions. The moment she opened the door and found a male, the thought of sex leaped into her mind despite the age of the boy. Inviting the boy into the living room, she promised to buy a subscription and pretended to look in the desk drawer for a check book. When the fiftyish-aged woman turned around, she boldly opened her robe to expose the frontal aspect of her body to the boy. Although she didn't utter a word, her intentions were no secret even from the boy who erected, immediately. The sight of the tell-tale protrusion between his legs excited her all the more and fueled her decision to go through with the seduction.
As for the boy, he was already sexually precocious and already had affairs with older women. The instant, Charlotte opened her robe to him, the boy realized the woman wanted him to sex her. And the smile on her lips was an open invitation for an affair. It didn't make any difference that she was an old woman, that her breasts were flabby and that skin hung down in folds around her too-large belly. The mere fact that she was a female with a hairy, female organ was enough to excite him. Without hesitation, he exposed his erected penis and the couple were in each other's arms in a torrid embrace. Charlotte took him into the bedroom where they performed many different sex acts for the remainder of the afternoon. At thirteen, the boy was capable of erecting almost immediately after a seminal discharge. And that's when Charlotte became a confirmed pedophile. She associated an inadequate sex performance with grown men. But with hot-blooded, young boys, she associated unlimited sex. But even the boy was not able to completely satisfy her. Fortunately, he knew many other boys his own age whom he sent around to visit Charlotte during her lonely afternoons. In this manner, she was able to have sex with a different boy every day that her husband was away at work. During the week-end when her husband remained at home, she suffered in silence and retired to the bathroom where she masturbated. But her appetite for young boys increased daily and she finally left her husband to devote herself exclusively to entertaining boys in her own apartment.
All of her life this woman had denied herself any form of sexual activity and then, at age 51, became sexually aware but found fulfillment only in the advances of young boys. Morally, our society condemns her for having sexual relations with minors. But from her own psychological needs, was she wrong to accept this form of sexual attention?
Today, there is a certain school of psychologists that feel that Charlotte and women in similar circumstances are not behaving in an aberrant way. The moral question expected, they believe that under the circumstances, the life-long deprivation of sex, the neuter, sexually indifferent husband and her ceaseless urge to have sexual relations, her behavior with boys was the correct path for her to take. The woman was compensating for a lifetime of abstinence and the compensation factor in most individuals, according to modern-day psychology is always a positive force which strengthens the personality of the individual.
The Encyclopedia believes the compensation factor is a powerful force for good when no other complications are involved. "Compensation may be a powerful motive for achievement and an effective force in adapting ourselves to handicaps that cannot be corrected. It may lead to emotional security and greater self-esteem and in this way contribute to sound mental health ... "
A pedophile-nymph who suddenly attempts to compensate for a sexually deprived life does increase her own self-esteem and her own self-confidence. Lifelong doubts and suspicions about her own inadequacy are dispelled with each sexual performance. And the fact that she becomes the aggressor, the one to initiate the affair, the one to hunt for an adequate partner also improves her self-confidence. Now, she realizes that she's not really frigid, not indifferent to sex and not abnormal. The fact that she can't seem to get enough sex is psychological, a reaction to the many years of denial. But once such a woman finds a mate whom she respects and who respects her, the insatiable appetite tapers off and she remains constant to the one person who can not only supply her with sexual attention but give her the emotional assurance, she so desperately needs.
Several of the women surveyed by the Independent Research Corporation were found to be true schizophrenics who adopted a pedophile-nymph type of behavior because of delusions and hallucinations characteristic of the schizoid personality. During certain but infrequent periods, they firmly believed they heard voices urging them to have sexual intercourse with boys. The voices, they described, usually told them they were some famous historical figure and that it was vital to have sex with a boy to prove themselves. During rational periods, the women are perfectly normal in speech and actions and rarely remember their behavior during the schizoid period when the inner voices urged them on from one sex affair to another with boys.
The Psychologist states that, "Schizophrenia does not run a single course. It ranges all the way from an acute attack lasting a few hours, days or weeks to chronic, lifelong illness ... " There is no debate among psychologists about the schizoid who adopts a pedophile-nymph attitude. She is in need of immediate psychiatric treatment. But the conclusions arrived at by studying the behavior of aging women who had sex affairs with boys for other reasons were not so definitive. There is no unanimity in condemning a woman who finds sexual release with a young boy. Even as far back as 1949, one famous sex researcher hesitated to call such women perverse.
In one conclusion to his still-quoted report, Kinsey wrote, "In spite of the many centuries in which our culture has attempted to suppress all but one type of sexual activity, a not inconsiderable portion of all sexual acts in which the human animal engages still fall into the category which the culture rates as perverse. The specific data show that two thirds to three quarters of the males in our American culture and some lesser number of females, engage in at least some perverse sexual behavior at some time between adolescence and old age. One half to two thirds of the females engage in such behavior with appreciable frequency during some period of their lives and a fair number engage in such behavior throughout their lives ... "
Kinsey hesitated to label aging women with a preference for boys as perverse unless he could study their backgrounds and arrive at valid conclusions explaining their behavior. The mere act of an older woman having sex with a boy is not perverse, according to an increasing number of psychologists. Of course, Kinsey held that viewpoint in 1949.
Sometimes, a woman of advancing years is awakened to enjoy her own sexuality by the boy who is the aggressor in the initial act. Gerontosexuality is a disorder in which a boy has a distinct preference for an elderly woman as the object of sexual interest. In most cases, he is seeking a parent-substitute. When the woman discovers she is sexually attractive to such a young boy she is flattered and easily seduced. If the affair is successful, she'll become the aggressor in future affairs and hence adopts the pattern of the typical pedophile-nymph.
When this happens is the boy perverse and in need of psychiatric treatment? Is the older woman perverse, a fit subject for social condemnation?
A researcher of the caliber of Kinsey wouldn't make a judgment unless he learned the backgrounds of the subjects and the motivations that drew a sixty-three-year-old woman and a twelve-year-old boy into bed.
The woman in the case, an Alice B. managed a senior citizen recreational center. She was a jolly, outgoing and seemingly well-adjusted woman who had many friends and many of the older men who belonged to the center were attracted to her. Despite her age, traces of her former good looks were still evident and she dressed very well. After a long and happy marriage, she was widowed and had many children and grandchildren. Still, she preferred to live alone and not hinder her family, or so she claimed. She had long ceased to have sexual relations and felt such activity was appropriate only in younger women.
The boy entered her life when he started to wait for his grandfather after school hours. He'd arrive at the senior citizen center and walk his grandfather home. The old man lived with the boy's family. But one afternoon, the boy dropped in to the senior citizen center when there was no social activity in progress. Alice B. was alone in her office going over the books and operating expenses. Instead of going home when he realized his grandfather was not in the center, the boy sat down in the office to keep the 63-year-old woman company.
Flattered that a member of the younger generation should want to spend time with her, Alice B. let him sit down and talk while she went over the books. Unknown to her, the boy was a true gerontosexualist. He associated sex with older women, only. Inadvertently, he had once seen his parents during intercourse and once he saw his grandmother fondling the penis of his grandfather. And since he recently arrived at the age of puberty, he continued to associate genital fondling with an older person. Alone with the older woman in her office, the boy erected, instinctively. In fact, as he later confessed, the moment he found himself alone with her, he made up his mind to have sexual relations with her.
At first, Alice B. tried to ignore the very obvious protrusion between the boy's legs. She realized his penis had erected and didn't quite know how to respond to the situation. Then, she realized that the boy probably wanted to urinate and was too bashful to make such an admission. When asked if he had to go the bathroom, the boy responded in the affirmative. But then, he startled the woman by requesting her to accompany him. At home, he quickly stated, his grandmother always accompanied him to the bathroom and helped him in the bathroom.
Touched that he should compare her to his grandmother, the woman agreed since at that time, she had no idea the boy had sexual conduct in mind. Also, they were perfectly alone in the center and there was no one around to condemn her behavior. Once they entered the bathroom, the boy exposed his penis which was in an extremely rigid state of erection.
The sight of the boy's exposed and boned-up penile shaft electrified the woman and for the first time she began to equate the boy with sexual activity. For many years, she had forced any thoughts of sex from her conscious mind. But a need for sexual attention existed deep within her and now that need surfaced. Her genitals began to tingle and she felt a definite moisture slip through the labial lips. And too, something happened that hadn't manifested itself in many years. Her clitoris erected.
Although she realized the boy couldn't urinate while the rod was in such a stiffened state, grasped the penile shaft with one hand and brushed tightly up against the body of the boy. Now, he felt bolder and made a direct appeal for sexual activity by throwing himself in her arms and peppering the area between her legs with short, darting thrusts of the penis.
Unable to prevent herself, the woman gladly responded by returning his kisses and freely caressing the inflamed tissues of the penis. Without a word being spoken, she raised her skirt, removed the girdle from her buxom lower section and allowed the boy to penetrate her vagina. Seating him on the toilet bowl, she straddled his body and proceeded to become the aggressor. Bucking up and down, she managed to bring both the boy and herself to a quick climax.
After the initial affair, Alice B. met the boy as often as possible. He either came to her apartment or he met her at the center when only she was present. From that period on, Alice B. became an active pedophile-nymph. The boy had awakened a long dormant need for sexual release. But when she became the aggressor, Alice B. took pains to seek out boys who displayed an unmistakable preference for an older woman. In this manner, each supplied the need of the other. And since this type of boy was so pleased and grateful for her attentions, she felt no qualms about her behavior and suffered from no guilt complexes. An examination by a psychiatrist confirmed the fact that she was perfectly well adjusted and coping with her problems in a mature and intelligent manner.
CHAPTER EIGHT
The Exhibitionist Pedophile
Exhibitionism is by far the commonest form of aberrant behavior adopted by the aging pedophile female. To discreetly expose a portion of her anatomy to the eyes of an unsuspecting boy and watch his reaction, thrill her to the point of orgasm. In fact, the exhibitionist pedophile receives her greatest thrill by the mere act of exposing herself and doesn't especially want direct, sexual involvement. Human Sexuality states that, "Its pathology lies in the fact that satisfaction is gained in a vicarious manner rather than through a straightforward sexual experience ... "
Exploring the motives of the exhibitionist pedophile, McCary states, "The inception of this behavior is classically the exhibitionist's feeling of insignificance or inadequacy: she hopes to gain attention through exhibitionism ... Typically, the exhibitionist is a quiet, timid, submissive person who is beset with feelings of inadequacy and insecurity ... "
This might be true. However, the survey conducted by the Independent Research Corporation early in 1973 revealed the existence of quite another type of exhibitionist pedophile and by far the most prevalent. Previously gathered research data in this area was simply inadequate. But in aging females who derive an excitement by exposing a part of their body to a boy, the most common motive turned out to be the most simple one. These women were sex starved and were either going without sexual relations entirely or only on a very small basis. They selected boys because they felt they'd get the most interesting response from a puberty-aged child who had never seen certain portions of the female anatomy. And there was always the possibility that a mature male would laugh at them because of their age. During the actual act of exposure, the exhibitionist pedophile experienced an increase in her self esteem and sexual worthiness. Most women in their late fifties, sixties and even seventies who still experience sexual desires feel that are unworthy of a man's attention because of their age. Older men their age usually respond to younger women. By selecting a twelve, or thirteen-year-old boy who has never seen an exposed female buttock, or breast or even the genitals, they're almost guaranteed of an avid and extremely interested audience. For the first time in a very long while, someone is looking at their body in an admiring way.
Rarely does the act of exhibitionism end in direct sexual contact with the boy. The mere act of exposure is almost enough to make them orgasm and their excitement is greatly heightened when the boy reacts by erecting, or sometimes by masturbating in front of them. More often, the discreet display of their body ends in a mutual masturbatory session.
Exhibitionists are, of course, fearful of rejection and painfully inhibited. They feel bold and daring only when they are exposing themselves. Most acts take place in a public place but the exhibitionist pedophile becomes so skilled, she is very rarely apprehended. And a boy who ogles her exposed body rarely complains to others.
While it would appear that this type of behavior is quite harmless, the exhibitionist pedophile probably is in more urgent need of psychiatric treatment than the women afflicted with the other varieties of pedophilia. She is harming herself more than others because she isn't realizing her true, sexual potential. She'd rather expose herself and settle for masturbation than enter into a relationship with another human being. As long as such an individual achieves her orgasm in such a discreet and silent way, the longer she'll postpone the effort it takes to meet a man of her own age or even younger in which she would be able to establish a relationship. She's settling for a furtive, vicarious type of thrill experience that leaves her more unsettled and empty when it's completed.
This type of aberrant behavior cuts through the various socio-economic backgrounds. A woman of great wealth, a professional woman of high intelligence, or a poor woman with limited means will resort to exhibitionism. The ages most addicted to exposing themselves are from between 58 and 68 and most women in this group are fairly attractive and feel they have something to show. The great and universal problem to all of the groups is loneliness. They need a man and don't have one and don't expect to find one.
The wealthy women in this category admitted freely they'd rather expose themselves in an exciting way and then masturbate than get involved with a fortune hunter, or a man of bad character. The professional women didn't want to get involved with men who were not their intellectual equals and the poor women were simply too timid, too unsure of themselves to seek a man for companionship. All of the women, regardless of category, were missing out by resorting to secretive, sexual acts instead of healthy ones with a partner. When asked the point where they were the most excited, almost all of the women questioned referred to the part of watching the boy's reaction and sometimes getting him heated enough for masturbation.
Matilda D. 59, was returning home from a distant city after visiting her married son and daughter-in-law. On the bus, travelling alone during the summer vacation, her seat companion turned out to be a thirteen-year-old boy who had been visiting his grandparents. The trip of many thousands of miles necessitated overnight sleeping on the bus, During the day, the woman sized up the boy and could hardly wait until they turned out the lights for the night. She'd made up her mind to perform a bit of, exciting exhibitionism for the boy whom she sensed was responding to her. Several times, he had pretended dozing off and his hand had slyly brushed up against her hip. An almost suffocating excitement swept through her when she felt the skin of his hand land softly over her thigh. She felt her genitals respond and she knew the boy was deliberately trying to caress her as she observed his genitals move and the fly part of his trousers tent upward. There wasn't a doubt that he had an erection caused by the feel of her body. The heat from his hand burned through the fabric of her skirt and she could hardly wait to commence her exhibition performance. She decided to go all out and slyly masturbate in front of him as though she didn't know he was watching.
After the bus driver finally turned off the lights, the woman slyly went about the task of inching up her skirt, easing down her girdle and turning her body towards the boy. All this was accomplished under a coat which she had placed over her body, blanket-style. When she was finally ready to expose herself, the subject, pretending to be asleep, permitted the coat to slip away from the lower portion of her anatomy to reveal her thighs and genitals.
Although the lights were out, enough illumination shone through the window to permit the boy to get a good look at the female body, exposed from the waist down. And from the musky odor emanating from the vulva area, he instinctively knew, she was sexually excited. And once she had his undivided attention, she commenced her masturbatory session, slowly at first, fingering her clitoris, permitting the forefinger to dig erotically into the vaginal box and all the while grinding her hips in a lascivious way.
The boy became so excited, he erected immediately and he, too, eased out his rigid penis. Before her delighted eyes, he, too, began to stroke the shaft and from the movements of his hand, she realized he was already a skilled masturbator. This knowledge heated her up all the more and she increased the tempo of the self-play and performed the act in such a way, the boy could clearly see every facet of her organs.
Losing all control, the boy masturbated with such enthusiasm, he quickly orgasmed with semen spurting upward and down over his pubic hair. The pedophile climaxed almost at the same time, wave after wave of cuntal effluent sloshing through the labia. This outpouring from her vagina released the pent-up feeling of frustration and she was able to sleep restfully for the remainder of the night. After the emission, the boy, also, fell asleep. In the morning, the two seat companions uttered not a word about their mutual self-play but chatted on as though they were actually related.
On the second and last night they'd be together on the bus, the exhibitionist pedophile decided she wanted some form of contact with the boy and went as far as a pedophile in her category permits herself to go. After they had skillfully and discreetly exposed themselves to each other when the bus lights went out, the woman reached over and started to stroke the boy's erected penis. At the same time, she took hold of his hand and placed it hard against the hairy vulva area. Guiding his fingers, she silently instructed him on the technique of masturbating a female organ. In this manner, they masturbated each other until an explosive climax was achieved. and as on the previous night, they silently went to sleep after the climax. In the morning, they still made no mention of the sex act that had transpired between them.
Psychologists are still sharply divided about the best course of treatment for pedophile exhibitionists like Matilda B. The fact that women of advanced age suffer from strong sexual drives is no longer a secret. They do. And many psychologist share the opinion that the pedophile who turns to exhibitionism in front of a young boy are merely lonely, sex-starved and quite harmless. They point to case histories of such people which invariably document the secret and silent manner in which they perform their exhibitionist ritual. They don't harm anyone and in the overwhelming majority of the cases, don't even come into direct contact with the object of their temporary affections. Occasionally, such as in the case of Matilda B., they attempt to masturbate the boy if the occasion permits this sort of direct contact. Rarely do they have a coital relationship with a boy.
Psychologists point out that their feelings of frustration are temporarily alleviated, their nerves are soothed and they are able to function normally in their environmental sphere. As far as the boy is concerned, psychologists don't believe he is in any way harmed by the experience. In fact, at puberty, a boy is physically prepared to have sexual relationships. Starting out his sexual life on a discreet basis is probably better for him than a direct vaginal contact for he isn't psychologically prepared to enter into a close relationship with a female.
Dr. Alfred Keiner of Los Angeles, a clinical psychologist and author doesn't agree with his colleagues who view the pedophile exhibitionist as a harmless eccentric who should be allowed to indulge in her harmless, little game as long as it does her good. In his best-selling book, Sex and Old People, he writes, "The symptoms displayed by the exhibitionist pedophile are not only disturbing but dangerous. I agree that she's lonely and starved for sex and companionship but I don't agree with certain colleagues who regard her plight as harmless to herself and others ... "
Dr. Keiner believes that exhibitionism in the aging woman is a first step towards a serious mental breakdown. He further believes that loneliness with the resulting frustrations are merely surface reasons which drive the pedophile to exhibit herself. The root problems into her aberrant behavior go much deeper and since direct interrogation with the aging pedophile rarely yields much meaningful information, Dr. Keiner has resorted to a unique technique with fruitful results. In his clinic, the psychologist and his associates have refined the age-old practice of hypnotherapy and brought it up to date.
Freud used hypnosis to get at the root problems of a patient's aberrant behavioral patterns but the technique of hypnotherapy pre-dates Freud by many thousands of years, as far back as the Babylonians, Egyptians and the Greeks. At the end of the eighteenth century, Mesmer was the first analyst to recognize the importance of systematic suggestion and the relationship between hypnotist and subject. Little was done to follow up his work until the latter part of the nineteenth century when a James Baird renamed the process hypnosis and ascribed its effects to psychological rather than physical forces. A French psychologist in Paris claimed he found a close relationship between hypnosis and hysteria. Eventually the concept of suggestion during hypnosis was developed and applied successfully.
Prior to the work of Dr. Keiner in Los Angeles, the use of hypnosis fell into disrepute since so many charlatans and even show people used the technique as a gimmick for either quick riches or simply an entertainment. Freud himself rejected the technique after developing his psychoanalytic method of treatment in which the patient is not hypnotized but in a rambling, free-association of ideas recounts events from his past life.
In his recent experimentations, Dr. Keiner found hypnosis more useful than psychoanalysis for patients who are deliberately trying to conceal past events, or when the painful memory of past experiences is so deeply buried in the subconscious, the patient cannot recount them by psychoanalytic methods, alone. In his work with exhibitionist pedophiles, Dr. Keiner discovered that they feel in both categories. Either they are totally unable to remember certain, image-destroying events from childhood or during their early adulthood, or they refuse to divulge them since they're still ashamed and embarrassed. Freud, in his early day experiments with hypnosis, wrote of the mechanism of repression, a process in which material is automatically expelled from consciousness because it is unacceptable or threatening. Freud abandoned the process after he arrived at the conclusion that it only temporarily relieved the disturbing symptoms and did not affect a permanent change in the personality.
Keiner felt that Freud didn't explore the possibilities of hypnosis deep enough and gave up too quickly on the process. The Los Angeles psychologist combines hypnotic techniques with analytic approaches and believes that in the majority of the exhibitionist pedophile cases he has treated, he managed to get at the root problems of the disorder and effect a permanent cure. But he quickly pointed out that merely confronting the patient with her past emotional problems will not alone bring about a permanent cure. The pedophile must not only come to grips with her past but with the present as well. If she doesn't get out of her shell and out of the house and find a companion, she'll eventually revert to her old behavioral pattern of seeking sexual release by exposing herself to a boy.
The technique refined by Dr. Keiner and found to be the most useful in treating the exhibitionist pedophile is hypnoanalysis, which combines hypnosis and psychoanalysis. Enlarging upon the methods first developed by the psychologist Lindner in 1946, Keiner uses a three-stage technique which is described in The Encyclopedia. "In the first phase, the patient was given intensive training in hypnosis for about a week, with emphasis on ability to enter the trance state immediately, carry out posthypnotic state suggestions and recapture memories through regression and revivification (reliving) techniques. In the second phase, she was directed to choose a starting point and associate without regard to form or content. But when resistances were encountered, free association was abandoned and the therapist sought to undercut the resistances through the use of either regression or revivification. Then, through the use of posthypnotic suggestion, he had the patient react during the waking state so that his entire personality would share in the benefit. The third phase utilized the transference relationship as the central agent in helping the patient understand her faulty goals and attitudes. The object here was re-education and re-orientation of the personality along more hygienic lines."
In his investigation, Dr. Keiner used a variety of methods to circumvent resistance. As previously noted, the problem with treating the exhibitionist pedophile is her reluctance to divulge painful or humiliating experiences from her past life. Reiter found the following techniques useful: (1) direct association, in which the patient is told that when the analyst counts to a certain number, she will say the first thing that comes to mind in connection with her problem; (2) ordering the patient to dream, or complete an unfinished dream and (3) inducing vivid visual images related to the difficulty.
Keiner feels his carefully studied and documented techniques of hypnoanalysis not only uncover the root of the problem but helps integrate earlier experiences with the total personality. He admits to one flaw to his concept and that is not all patients are capable of being hypnotized. Others are incapable of regressing while hypnotized to the proper depth. But when a patient is able to accept hypnosis and regress in time to the period when the original, disturbing experience originated, the results have been almost always favorable.
One patient, a 54-year-old exhibitionist pedophile resisted all other methods of treatment with the exception of hypnosis. Once hypnotized and regressed to childhood, the illuminating experience was easily recalled and from the basis of the information gleaned in this manner, a permanent change in her personality was affected.
The patient, a Katharine H. suffered from seizures of hysteria which were only alleviated by exhibitionistic pediophilical behavior. When she felt the pressures of an impending seizure, she relieved the pressure by exposing herself to a boy and either masturbated in his presence, or in the privacy of her home. If self-play took place in private, she fantasized the boy's facial and body reactions during the period of exhibition. The act of exhibitionism before a puberty-aged boy of twelve or thirteen excited her tremendously and she even looked forward to the experience. The only reason she consulted Keiner was fear of exposure. She held a high-paying and important position to an executive in a public-relations-oriented type of business. Exposure as an exhibitionist would mean instant dismissal and she would probably find herself unemployable.
And on the surface, the woman didn't fit the pattern of the older pedophile exhibitionist who suffered from feelings of loneliness and neglect. At 54, the woman was still attractive, popular with the opposite sex and dated frequently. Divorced, she preferred not to enter into a love affair with any man and hadn't found anyone she considered as marriage material. She was much younger than the average woman who fell in her category of exhibitionist pedophile and her motivations for such behavior were entirely different. They were not even apparent on the surface and the patient herself was at a complete loss to explain her bizarre conduct. But the symptoms of the disorder were very much the same as the other women in her category. If she didn't exhibit herself in a time period of two weeks, she'd suffer from fits of hysteria which quite often left her psychologically haggard for days. Her work began to suffer and she knew if she didn't find a cure, she'd lose her position.
There was nothing on the conscious level that even remotely suggested the reasons for her hysteria, or her compulsion to expose parts of her body to young boys. As a volunteer social worker to the poor community, she found many opportunities to come in contact with young boys. And when the need to exhibit came over her, she'd find some way to expose herself in a discreet manner as though she wasn't aware of the display. But throughout the exhibition, she scrutinized the boy from the corner of her eyes. Despite the excitement and mental release the act gave her, she lived in perpetual horror of discovery. If she tried to resist the compulsion to exhibit, she suffered more mental anguish and hysteria than a drug addict during withdrawal.
Keiner placed her in hypnosis and found it necessary to regress her to the age of twelve. And at that age, the incident tumbled out of her subconscious. In fearful dread of horses, her socially prominent mother insisted she learn to ride. One day she fell off a mount and injured her thigh. The skin broke and later healed but a scar remained. The mother kept telling the child the scar was a punishment for her cowardice about horses. The woman who had certain sadistic tendencies taunted the girl and told her no boy would ever be attracted to her because of the scar. The girl became self-conscious about the scar.
Although she later married and had children of her own, the scar and the humiliation that went with it, remained in her subconscious. While many factors entered into the subsequent dissolution of her marriage, she inwardly blamed the hideous blemish caused by the riding accident of many years back. She developed an inferiority complex and felt her body was really undesirable to men. While she was well-figured and many men found her desirable, she convinced herself they were only trying to be nice and didn't really mean it. Still, her need for love and affection and for sex remained. Trying to thwart these basic needs led to her hysterical behavior. And by exposing herself to an inexperienced boy and getting his attention, she relieved the pressure of sex without fear of rejection, or having to display the scarred section of her skin. A man, a genuine lover, would have wanted to look at her entire body. Aware, too, that she was trapped in her need to exhibit contributed to rising feelings of hysteria.
While the patient was in deep hypnosis, Keiner relived the accident but this time, taking the role of the mother, he suggested that the scar was a highly beautiful adornment to the girl's body. As a result of the scar, he kept suggesting that she'd be highly attractive to men who would find great beauty in the flaw. Absolute perfection was a boring sight, he told her. The relief of perfection with a slight blemish lent erotic contrast, highly prized in the imaginative, creative type of male.
This suggestion made during hypnosis, proved to be highly effective. When she awoke from the hypnotic trance the woman no longer remembered the incident involving the accident and subsequent taunting by her mother about the ugliness of the scar. She now believed as he firmly thought she had always believed that the scar was a beauty mark. Her need to exhibit herself to boys vanished and she eventually met a man of her own age and married.
Despite the success of this and other cases, the use of hypnoanalysis is not widespread and in many medical communities, still regarded with suspicion and amusement. While Dr. Keiner and others in the field are quick to point out that not everyone will respond effectively to hypnosis, he insists it has an important role to play in psychotherapy and especially in the treatment of the aging pedophile.
CHAPTER NINE
Pedophilia and the Law
The antiquated laws under which pedophiles are prosecuted are clearly in need of overhauling. The aging man or woman who has sexual relations with a minor can be prosecuted under two statutes depending on the seriousness of the charge. One, a misdemeanor, is contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The other and far more serious, is a felony, statutory rape. Exhibitionists are normally charged under the first statute but when a direct sexual contact has taken place, a penetration of the vagina with the penis, or certain oral and anal acts, charges of statutory rape are usually filed against the offender whether the minor cooperated or not.
Rarely if ever has a charge of statutory rape been brought against a female pedophile. On the other hand, many such charges have been brought against men who were found guilty and sentenced to the maximum of five years in some states and to life imprisonment in others. Occasionally a woman is found guilty of the lesser charge, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, but she is rarely sentenced to jail. In fact, in the South, where chivalry apparently still reigns supreme, there is no record of a female being charged with such an offense. In northern states, in the few instances when a woman was found guilty of the lesser charge, she either received a suspended sentence or was advised to seek psychiatric treatment.
The glaring injustice of the laws designed to curb pedophilia were made dramatically apparent recently in two separate cases in the state of New York. One involved an aging man, the other, an aging woman. Both were pedophiles, both over sixty and both were trying to recapture the vitality and joy of their own youth by seducing youngsters of the opposite sex.
Martin B., 63, a garage mechanic, self-employed had direct sexual relations with a fifteen-year-old girl, the same age as his granddaughter. She appeared about closing time one night with a car that seemed to have engine trouble. Wearing a fur coat, the sophisticated youngster from an upper middle-class family background, got out of the car, approached the subject and then flung open her fur coat. As the defendant later testified, the girl was naked underneath. The eyes of the aging man goggled at the firm, curving breast with the aroused, up-thrust, rosy nipples, the slender, curving body, the magnificent spray of black, pubic hair and the beautifully proportioned legs. Rubbing the palm of one hand over her hairy vulva area, the girl whispered a lewd invitation to sex her.
The old man, already aroused with erected penis hesitated but by his own admission in court, he didn't hesitate very long. He did ask the girl her age and she replied that she was well over eighteen, the age of consent. There'd be no trouble from the law and her parents were away for the weekend. That's when she invited the mechanic back to her home where they could sex for two, entire days. The invitation was made with the assertion that she went for older type men.
Later, in court, Martin B. shamefacedly told the judge that he was an easy push-over for such an invitation because of his own unsatisfactory sex life with a wife no longer interested in physical love. Asserting that he was still a very passionate and virile man despite his age, the very sight of the nude girl made him feel like a young man again. He wanted to be a young man again. The girl looked mature enough, her face was rouged and her lips made fuller with lipstick. Also, the development of her body testified to the fact that she was no longer a minor.
Returning to the home of the girl, the couple went to bed immediately and there wasn't a position they didn't try out. They even made love in the bathtub according to court testimony. The girl even initiated certain types of positions and acts that attested to her skill and experience. When it came to oral and anal love, she displayed an expertise that could not be easily or quickly learned. And Martin B. testified that for a few short hours, in the arms of the girl, he did feel young again, filled with confidence in himself and in his future. Perhaps, he was old on the outside but now, he knew he was young inside; young and capable of great things.
The abrupt homecoming of the girl's parents ended Martin B.'s hope for a rosy future. The enraged couple immediately called the police and badgered the city attorney to charge the old man with statutory rape. Their daughter was only fifteen years old and they easily proved that fact. Before a jury, the defendant told his story, admitted to sexual relations with the girl but claimed as his defense ignorance of her age. The girl had lied when she told him she was over eighteen. But the parents of the girl brought her into court wearing pigtails, buster brown shoes and a plain dress that made her appear to be no older than twelve years old.
The verdict came swiftly. The defendant found guilty of statutory rape was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. The expenses of the court case caused him to lose his business and his own family disowned him. Martin B. will never forget his one fling for the remainder of his life.
Three months later, in the very same court, Mabel R., 62, faced a charge of child molestation, or contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The case against the woman paralleled that of Martin B.'s to an amazing extent. The woman, a practical nurse, exposed herself to a twelve-year-old boy in her care. Almost recovered from the flu, the boy felt almost normal. In fact, the episode occurred on the last day of her duty. The parents of the boy were away for the weekend and the nurse was taking care of the patient until their return. Since the boy was almost recovered, her function was more babysitter than nurse.
According to the testimony of the boy, the nurse entered his bedroom in a bathrobe and then proceeded to disrobe in front of him. When she was fully naked, she played with her genitals in a lewd manner and made suggestive remarks to the boy. Since it was the first time he'd ever seen a naked woman, his eyes mirrored his surprise and awe and erotic fascination. The blanket tented between his legs which told the woman of the boy's erection. Then, sitting alongside of the boy on the bed, she leaned over and kissed him passionately on the mouth. In a very short period of time, the woman was in bed with the boy and astride his body. Without hesitation, she inserted his erected penis into her vagina and in the woman-on-top position, she bucked her hips up and down until coitus was achieved by both parties.
Unsatiated by the discharge, the woman slept with the boy and had more physical intercourse with him through the night. His parents, returning unexpectedly, found her in bed with their son while she was performing fellatio on the boy's penis. A complaint was signed, immediately and the woman was arrested on the misdemeanor charge.
Entering court in garb and makeup that made her look 82 instead of her true age of 62, the nurse claimed she had suffered a temporary lapse and while she was thus temporarily deranged was not responsible for her acts. Nursing the boy from the brink of death and making him well had sapped her mental strength.
The judge threw the case out of court and angrily berated the parents of the boy for ingratitude towards a woman who had saved the life of their child. Since the defendant reminded him of his own mother, the judge couldn't believe that the woman had deliberately seduced the boy and committed sexual acts on his body. No one, he reminded the parents of the boy, is legally responsible for their acts while deranged.
Laws designed to protect society from the behavior of pedophiles were written many years ago and are no longer applicable. In the era of the Sexual Revolution and Woman's Lib, they simply don't reflect the morals, attitudes and desires of contemporary society. But before laws can be changed, attitudes must also be altered and that leads us to an examination of old people today and their surprisingly healthy and active sex lives.
According to a University of Florida report, sex is the driving force of men and women over sixty-five years of age. And speaking to the American Psychiatric Association, Dr. Stanley R. Dean stated, "It is indeed strange that what our prejudiced culture regards as virile at 25 becomes lechery at 65. He cited the following examples:
A frustrated Lothario of 78 hurled a molotov cocktail through the window of his unfaithful lady love. The "cocktail" was made of prune juice and kerosene. His addiction to prune juice was well known and led to his arrest.
A jealous husband caught his wife in bed with another man and blasted the intruder with a shotgun. The wife was 65, the lover 81.
A frantic husband whose wife had run off with a new love, hunted her, shot her and shot himself. His intentions were lethal but his aim was shaky and both recovered. He was 75, his wife was 70.
The owner of a Florida retirement home told Dean that romance, flirtation, fondling and sex were the rule rather than the exception among golden agers.
It is a mistaken belief, said Dean, that aging women exhibit a greater sexual decline than their male counterparts. Rather it is the male's loss of capacity that is reflected in her sexual activity.
The psychiatrist pointed out, "There is no reason why the milestone of menopause should blunt the female's sexual capacity, performance or drive. How many elderly women, leading lives of quiet desperation, must secretly envy the aging movie actress who has the means and the effrontery to indulge her sexual whims with a stable of robust studs."
The aging movie actress who can hire a stable full of studs and indulge her fancy for minors gets away with it because society expects the former sex symbol to act in this manner. The average woman in her late fifties and sixties who indulges her fancy for a teen-age stud is sent to a psychiatrist because society believes there must be something wrong with her.
And recently in California, a swap club was uncovered that specialized in matching teen-agers with elderly couples. No one was compelled to join. But girls and boys from fourteen to eighteen willingly joined up with the knowledge they were going to be matched up with members of the opposite sex from their late fifties to middle and even late seventies. The oldsters craved sex with the teen-agers and vice versa.
According to the laws of the land, they were all criminals. But they were all following their own instinctive inclinations in a private setting and bothering no one who didn't want to voluntarily join them. The community in which the club existed knew about the pedophile-teen activities and didn't feel they were threatened, morally or in any other way.
The police closed down the club in compliance with the law. They were only doing their job. Do such laws have a right to exist when they no longer fit the needs, desires or reflect the morals of the community?
Daniel Kroner, 68 and president of the Sunset Age Club doesn't think so. He and his organization are spearheading a drive to have such discriminatory laws abolished. They are not only prejudicial, Kroner believes, but entirely ignorant about the needs of aging people. Agreeing with Dr. Dean, he points out that the need for sex never leaves the individual who retains his or her health. There are women members of the Sunset Age Club who are in their late seventies and eighties, Kroner states, who admit they could handle a good love affair on a daily basis if they could only get it. Of course, they can't and that's why a good many of them turn their erotic energies towards young and virile boys. They become pedophiles.
What sort of laws do Kroner and his group advocate?
Child molestation only is his retort. A consenting pedophile and a consenting teen-ager or puberty-aged minor should have sex with each other if they so desire. Minors are a mature bunch today, he believes and know definitely what they want.
Whether or not the laws will be changed in Kroner's favor remains to be seen.
CHAPTER TEN
Conclusions
Until the recent report on pedophilia by the Independent Research Corporation, the literature about the sex lives and habits of aging people have been filled with nonsensical old wives tales. A male who exhibits a normal and healthy interest in sex beyond a certain age is immediately labeled a dirty old man. A woman who expresses an equally normal and healthy interest in sex beyond a certain age, is carted off to a psychiatrist's couch for immediate treatment. Something has got to be wrong with her mentally, the authorities claim. And since these authorities, by virtue of their positions, are supposed to be the guardians of our morals, they're supposed to be right.
They're wrong.
Psychiatrists like Dr. Dean and others who agree with him have long been voices crying out in the wilderness. But finally, at this late date, they're beginning to be heard. As the life span continues to increase and especially that of women and as the population continues to increase, there are simply more old people around and their habits, attitudes and needs are receiving attention.
If an old person remains healthy in body and mind, his or her sex urge is going to remain vigorous and in need of constant expression. In the vast majority of cases in which an aging woman has sex relations with a young boy, the motive behind her conduct is simple need for sex and nothing more. The woman selects the boy simply because he can deliver and is available and usually is more than willing to have sex with her. Why should society's attitude indulge an aging but still sexy former movie star and condemn a woman of the same age who was a former housewife?
Dr. Carter Bowran believes that the younger people, the ones who are running things, still visualize all gray-haired, matronly women as their own "mom." And the thought that mom would go to bed with a young stud and let her vagina be penetrated by a hot blooded school boy for the mere thrill of the act is abhorrent and repulsive to the middle-aged, middle class philosophy. In his contention it is going to be a long, uphill struggle to convince these people including the law-makers, that mom is really a human being, sexually as well as in every other way. And she'd be a much more happier woman and one living out a fuller life if she did have sexual attention as often as her body and mind told her she required it.
Another important conclusion that can be made from this study is that aging people and especially aging women require sexual attention often. In many cases, they'd prefer sexual action on a much more frequent basis than they did at a younger age. There are many psychological and physical reasons to explain this phenomenon but until now, society has chosen to ignore them. The president of the Sunset Age Club can prove that they definitely do exist.
However, this doesn't mean to say that some pedophiliacal inclined women aren't suffering from serious mental disorders and shouldn't have psychiatric treatment. These women exist, too. And as a rule, the pedophile women with complex, mental problems are the ones who don't really enjoy sex. Their problems can usually be traced to:
1. Sexual incidents in childhood.
2. Innate hostility towards mature men who may remind them of an overbearing father.
3. Lack of proper sex education and isolation from other people. This type shies away from developing normal man and woman relationships and may seek an outlet in exhibitionism in front of a young boy which gives them the impetus towards excessive masturbation.
4. General immaturity and fear of responsibility. This leads to avoidance of normal, heterosexual relationships and paves the way towards brief, almost silent affairs with young boys.
5. Deprivation of normal outlets. A housewife, suddenly widowed, is unable to cope with her new-role in many instances. No longer young and attractive, she no longer knows how to get out and mingle with the opposite sex and meet them for social purposes. Quick, relationless affairs with young boys are the only outlet.
6. Intense feelings of hostility or resentment against society may result in patterns of behavior which is an acting out of inner tensions in the form of antisocial sex offenses. The most anti-social behavior they can think of is in the realm of sex and with young boys. Women who fall into this category have strong anti-Establishment feelings in the area of politics and social legislation. They choose a mode of behavior to defy the Establishment even in their personal lives. And this includes sex. Women in this category aren't particularly attracted to boys. But the sex act of a pedophile with a minor outrages contemporary, Establishment-set rules of conduct. And breaking these rules appeals to this form of pedophilia.
7. Arrested psychological development, or fixation at an infantile level. A happy point was attained at during childhood. The subject, dissatisfied with reality and adult life regresses, tries to recover the lost, childish and innocent happiness of another period. She turns to a young boy who reminds her of a boy during her own childhood.
8. Incest. Either through great love, or selfishness, a woman binds her son in a suffocating relationship. Perhaps, early in the son's life and when the woman was young, there was direct physical contact between them. More often than not, there wasn't. But subconsciously, the woman desired to know her son's body. As an active pedophile, the aging woman is still seeking to regain the lost relationship with the son she wishes to possess and suffocate, again.
9. Heredity. Biological defects which account for pedophiliacal behavior in aging women account for a minute percentage of such conduct. While it is true that the offspring's of deviates show a higher percentage of neurotic conduct than the offspring's from well adjusted parents, today the difference in conduct is usually attributed to environmental rather than hereditary factors.
10. Superior intelligence. Pedophilia is most prevalent among professional women who scored the highest I.Q.'s of all the women groups tested. When they began to age and they still required sexual attention, they turned, in greater numbers, towards young boys for such fulfillment. Since men in their own age bracket were unavailable, their higher intelligence prompted them to seek out young boys who would satisfy their sexual needs without imposing an unwanted relationship upon them.
11. Affluence. Wealthier, aging women sought out young boy studs to satisfy their sexual needs simply because they could afford them and they were wealthy and influential enough to get away with it. One aging former movie star who is past seventy-five maintains a houseful of young studs, all minors, to satisfy her sexual appetite which is enormous. She gets away with it because she's wealthy and because society expects this sort of behavior from her. In general, wealthy, aging women are expected to be interested in sex in greater numbers than poorer, aging women, or even women in the middle-class.
12. Sex Drive. The sex drive in aging, healthy women in as strong if not stronger than in younger women. Modern-day psychologists points out that this is a normal and not an abnormal state of affairs. They explain that the human sex drive is dependent on experience, learning and attitudes. Women who have lived longer, have had more varied sexual experiences and have learned to have more liberal attitudes towards certain sexual positions and acts grow more highly sexed as they age. Despite the obvious veracity of this fact, our contemporary society, steeped in puritanical traditions, still cannot or are unwilling to recognize the sexual needs of older women.
13. Emotional Factors. Emotions such as fear, guilt and shame account most frequently for the aberrant behavior of the fetishist pedophile. Because of their upbringing and a sensitivity towards the accepted moral code, female pedophiles are most likely to experience feelings of guilt and shame after having sexual relations with a young boy. Subsequently, she craves punishment and expresses her remorse in the emotional need to suffer pain while she is also experiencing the joy of sex.
14. Mental Attitude. Mental attitudes acquired over a lifetime of sexual activity play an important role in the sex life of the aging female. Women who become pedophiles have generally been more liberal in their attitudes and more experimentive with sexual techniques. Earlier in life, they weren't afraid to try out oral or anal expressions of sexuality. They condoned interracial sex and as a group expressed tolerance for homosexuals although they, as a group, were not interested in gay activity. In later life, they retained their liberal attitudes towards life in general and sex in particular. When they found themselves alone, without a suitable sex partner, they didn't hesitate to accept a boy lover for the sake of expediency and felt they were not doing anything morally wrong, or perverse. They were sophisticated enough to realize a penis on a twelve-year-old boy can respond to the vagina of a seventy-year-old woman. Knowing this fact, they didn't hesitate to take advantage of it.
15. Sex Role. The attitudes and patterns which govern the individual's sex role are learned and not acquired at birth. In our society, men are expected to play out the dominant role, to be the sexual aggressor and females are expected to be the more submissive. They are roles taught to children and nurtured throughout the life of the individual. But not all children are taught these roles and others who did learn them often discard such notions when confronted by the realities of their lives. To survive, certain women must become aggressors and dominate situations. Some men become submissive in order to survive a certain crisis of the environment. Women who are dominant by nature or who learn to become aggressors because of certain life situations, are more likely to become pedophiles. As aging women, they still retain their lifelong habit of aggressiveness and take sex where they can find it, regardless of the partner's age.
16. The Law. The law which forbids sexual conduct between an older woman and a boy becomes to some women a challenge and they deliberately disobey the law for the sake of disobeying it.
Clearly, the laws that discriminate against the pedophile must be changed and be brought up to date. But first, the misconceptions that society still retains regarding the sex life of older people must be discarded once and for all!
