PEEPERS: SEX DREAMS
Singularly few of the peepers had sex dreams. Of all groups, they had the smallest number (73 per cent) who had experienced nocturnal emissions. In age-specific incidence they also are very low. For example, during age-period 16-20 when nocturnal emissions are at their peak and when from 55 to 79 per cent of the single members of other groups were having them, only 52 per cent of the peepers experienced these “wet dreams.” Too few peepers married to permit age-specific calculations for that portion of the sample.
Even when one examines only those peepers who did experience nocturnal emissions, it is evident that the frequency was low. This is most clearly seen in the calculation of average (mean) frequency in various age-periods from puberty up to age thirty: the peepers are in the lowest or next to lowest position in the frequency rank-orders with rates of only 5 to 10 nocturnal orgasms per year. In terms of median frequency, they are like other sex offenders.
As one could surmise from the above, the proportion of total sexual, outlet the peepers derived from nocturnal emissions is extremely small. The unmarried peepers have either the smallest or nearly the smallest proportions (1-5 per cent) recorded from puberty on to age thirty, after which we have no further data.
In dream content this same deficiency is evident. Nearly one fifth, the largest proportion on record, reported that their emissions were unaccompanied by dreams. Similarly, in the percentages who had homosexual and animal contact dreams the peepers are low in the rank-orders. None had sadomasochistic dreams despite the fact that 8 per cent had sadomasochistic masturbatory fantasies. In short, the tendency displayed by peepers for exotic fantasy is not reflected in their dreams.
