Adriac said:You know, that's interesting, because 3 : 100 isn't a bad figure for gay men in general.
indigo10 said:95% of sexual assaults on children are carried out by men.
It has been an established fact in the psychology world for some time that most male paedophiles are homosexual as well.
Of course, this little bit of highly inconvenient, politically incorrect, information does not get the airtime it deserves.

First of all, Adriac was responding to indigo10's assertion that "It has been an established fact in the psychology world for some time that most male paedophiles are homosexual as well." The study clearly refutes that statement, since it specifies the ratio of heterosexual to homosexual pedophiles is 11:1, meaning that for every one homosexual pedophile, there are 11 heterosexual pedophiles. So according to this study, most male pedophiles (by far) are straight, not gay (by a ratio of 11 to 1).ChristianCenturion said:Thank you for the link.
Perhaps this sentence should be looked at carefully:
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.
I also note that the APA does not recognize an adult having sex with a child who has reached puberty as being pedophilia - thus the "true pedophiles" comments in your link have questionable results for me in relation to what the general public considers pedophilia.
I also preemptively note, that this does not equate homosexual dictates pedophilia.

CC, you also want us to note that the study points out that relatively speaking there are more pedophiles in the gay population than there are in the straight population. This conclusion is based on statistics which say that the ratio of straights to gays in the general population is 20:1 (5% gay), but that ratio drops to 11:1 (9% gay) when we look at pedophiles only -- a 4% increase. Noted.
Either way, indigo10's assertion is refuted by the authors' conclusion that 9% of pedophiles are gay .... and that 91% of pedophiles are straight.
p.s. I guess indigo10 has confirmed that the OP is not really about jail sentences, but rather is a (poor) attempt to illustrate that most pedophiles are gay ...
Those aren't my numbers, they're the numbers quoted in the abstract that Adriac linked to.ChristianCenturion said:You may wish to do that math over.
I didn't state that the quantity of offenders were greater for homosexuals, I pointed out the reference indicating proportions. One would expect that heterosexuals accounting for anything from 99.5% to 90% of the population would generate a higher number even if the proportions were very low for heterosexuals.
And it isn't a 4% increase, it would be more like "twice as likely" based on your numbers. And speaking of your numbers, I would also like to see where you come up with your given percentages of the population being gay - in specific regarding to males since the article deals with males. Last I checked, the percentage by all reputable sources can't say what that percentage is. Only mythical estimate places it near a 10% range and it is far from being a confirmed percentage in either case.
No, that's actually a lie. But I am sure you have some kind of objective reference from the "psychology world" to show that you are not just hate mongering, right?indigo10 said:It has been an established fact in the psychology world for some time that most male paedophiles are homosexual as well.
beechy said:Those aren't my numbers, they're the numbers quoted in the abstract that Adriac linked to.
The abstract says that the general population is 20:1, straight:gay. So in a room of 21 people, 20 will be straight and 1 (or 4.76% -- I rounded up to 5) will be gay.
It goes on to say that among pedophiles, the ratio shifts to 11:1, straight:gay. So in a room of 12 pedophiles, 11 will be straight and 1 will be gay (or 8.3% gay -- I rounded up to 9 ... more properly I should have rounded down to 8, I guess).
So 4.76% of the general population is gay with respect to their attraction to adults, according to the abstract, and 8.3% of pedophile population is attracted to children of the same sex.
The article does not speak to what percentage of the general population (both gay and straight) are pedophiles.
And again, with respect to indigo10's statement that most pedophiles are gay, I hope we can all agere that Adriac's link refutes that statement (which is what it was intended to do).

Which is neither here nor there, because gays and straights are held to the same standard in this respect.ChristianCenturion said:Uh, huh...
I already made a statement on what constitutes the clinical pedophilia in another post not typically matching the publics perception.
Excerpt~
"while the ratio of gynephiles to androphiles among the general population is approximately 20:1."
I had to look up what gynephiles and androphiles were earlier myself.
Just so that is clear:
Excerpt~
(a) Gynephiles (males who erotically prefer physically mature females), (b) androphiles (who prefer physically mature males),
So again and this is merely a minor point for perspective reference, the 20:1 ratio mentioned would clinically consider a man that was 25, 30, 40, etc. having sex wilth a 13 year old girl that has reached puberty as not being pedophilia.
Like I said earlier, the problem is that the abstract does not say what percentage of the general population are pedophiles.ChristianCenturion said:But again, your argument has nothing to do with what my original post addressed. If one member corrects another member's figures, great. I don't see what members indigo10 or Adriac being closer to the number has to do with MY post. My post was noting the conclusion that Adriac linked:
"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."
Your post tried to make a statement of a 4% increase as if a jump from 20:1 to 11:1 were some small issue. I corrected that in stating it was more like an issue of being twice as likely.
This is true. But that's the study we're discussing.ChristianCenturion said:All that was referencing one exploratory study BTW.
Seems logical and productive, I think some people have difficulty with both those things.cat59 said:Does the fact that they were heterosexual contribute to our understanding of why they abused her or help us help her come to terms with such an horrific experience?
I would suggest that such an outlook which is confinded to the gender preference of the abuser is simplistic and does little other than stigmatise groups. It certainly does not help the victims, nor aid in the efforts to prevent such abuse occuring in the future.
