RESEARCH FINDINGS VARY, BUT DEGREES OF ACTIVITY FOUND INCLUDE 'INTERESTED', 'NO SERIOUS RESISTANCE', 'INDIFFERENT', 'INWARDLY READY' AND 'ACTIVE PARTICIPATION'.
Abstract
ONE RESEARCHER FOUND THAT 10 GIRLS UNDER 14 OUT OF A TOTAL OF 24 PARTICIPATED ACTIVELY, OR AT LEAST MADE NO RESISTANCE. ANOTHER FOUND, IN A GROUP OF 600 GIRLS, 58 PERCENT WERE 'INDIFFERENT' OR 'INWARDLY READY'. THE AUTHOR STATES THAT ONE MUST GET RID OF THE IDEA THAT CHILDREN ARE ASEXUAL. BUT AS GIRLS GROW OLDER, GUILT COMPLEXES DEVELOP WHICH LEAD TO A REFUSAL, AT FIRST, OF ANY ACTIVITY AT ALL. HOWEVER, AS SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES, A GROWING HUNGER FOR EXPERIENCE PROVIDES ANOTHER STIMULUS FOR SEXUAL ACTIVITY. --IN GERMAN
