Er, somewhat against my better judgement, here's a citation that cuts both ways. Make of it what you will. "Using phallometric test sensitivities to calculate the proportion of true pedophiles among various groups of sex offenders against children, and taking into consideration previously reported mean numbers of victims per offender group, the ratio of heterosexual to homosexual pedophiles was calculated to be approximately 11:1. This suggests that the resulting proportion of true pedophiles among persons with a homosexual erotic development is greater than that in persons who develop heterosexually." (TheProportions of Heterosexual and Homosexual Pedophiles Among Sex Offenders Against Children- An Exploratory-Study Freund K. Watson RJ. Journal Of Sex & Marital Therapy. 18: (1) 34-43 SPR 1992 (Abstract)) (from homepage.myevents.com , which I wouldn't advise much casual perusal of, it looked pretty overtly anti-gay. The 11-1 ratio was cited without a source in faculty.ncwc.edu Not a very pleasant topic to do a web search on. I didn't stumble into any porno sites, but there seem to be a whole lot of anti-gay sites out there. Cheers, Dan.

Rambi I just did a google search and found essentially the same information at two sites. One obviously had an agenda, a religiously oriented site, so I checked another and it had relatively the same information. Upon a little further reading, it seems such a charged subject that it would be difficult to believe either side's statistics. The words I used for google were I think, pedophile, homosexual, heterosexual. familyresearchinst.org massnews.com psyclaw.org The last site was the footnotes to the Boy Scout Case (or a Boy Scout case) and has some references to this, but no links.
