All the incest offenders vs. minors had had premarital petting experience. The median individual began petting at sixteen; only the incest offenders vs. adults began later; this belated start seems characteristic of those whose offense is against a postpubescent daughter. While the delay of the incest offenders vs. adults is largely a result of their reaching puberty at a late date, no such explanation exists for the incest offenders vs. minors, who reached puberty at a usual age. Despite their late start, the accumulative incidence (the proportions with petting experience by a given age) is in no way remarkable.

Between puberty and fifteen (inclusive) slightly over half of the incest offenders vs. minors petted: this is a low figure. Yet in the next age-period, 16-20, a large percentage (97 per cent) petted. As yet we have no explanation for the unusual abruptness of this increase. The age-specific incidence of petting to orgasm, while increasing as anticipated, shows no such abrupt rise. The figures are moderate to low in comparison with those of other groups, rising from 10 per cent in the first age-period to double that in age-period 16-20, and then falling to nearly the original figure in age-period 21-25.

These incest offenders vs. minors, like the other incest groups, did not have many petting partners; the average (median) offender had 11—the second smallest number recorded. While they had fewer petting partners than the control group, the prison group, and all but one of the other sex-offender groups, the incest offenders vs. minors cannot be said to have been seriously deprived. The same may be said of their general social relations with females at ages sixteen and seventeen, though they had somewhat fewer female friends and companions than most other groups.

In reaching orgasm through petting, the incest offenders vs. minors display the lowest frequencies (mean and median both) of any group. Sample size permits calculation only for age-period 16-20, but during these years their average frequency was only 2 to 3 times per year. There is nothing unusual about the accumulative incidence of petting to orgasm: ultimately a fifth of these incest offenders had this experience.

Their petting techniques are not particularly distinctive except that they are one of the three groups more of whose members had premarital cunnilingus with female friends (12 per cent) than were fellated (9 per cent). This latter figure is quite small; only the incest offenders vs. adults had a smaller one. The absence of any incest offender vs. minors who had had cunnilingus with a prostitute may be a matter of small sample vagary; other incest offenders display percentages that are small absolutely, but large relatively.
