- Based on studies of prison and clinical populations, various authors have claimed correlations between pedophilia and stature, handedness, IQ, and various other physical and mental traits. These authors have also implied generalization of these correlations to all pedophiles, but examination of the non-prison, non-clinical, voluntary, "free range" Internet sample used in this paper does not support such sweeping assumptions. (May 16, 2016)
Encounters with distinctive, repeating patterns of extreme rage on the internet, coming from individuals imagining nonexistent threats to children, occasioned a re-examination of various situations where irrational fury arises in the hypothetical protection of children, the child-raising environment, or child-like innocence.
A novel hypothesis proposes that rage behavior that originally evolved to enable parents to defend children vigorously from predatory wildlife and hostile humans can be triggered in a way that verges on psychosis in sufferers of a disorder termed Heterosexual Hyperaggression Syndrome (HHS). Sufferers of this syndrome tend to experience dramatically irrational rages that go far beyond the basic needs for vigilance and emergency arousal in child-care.
A meta-analysis of all seven relevant phallometric studies reveals that 22% of normal men show greater or equal sexual arousal to child stimuli (individuals up to 13 years old) than to adult stimuli. Combined results of two of these studies reveal male prevalence rates of about 3% for pedophilia (mostly sexually aroused by prepubescents) and about 16% for hebephilia (mostly sexually aroused by pubescents). Details of these studies are described, and implications of the results for sexual science and society are discussed.
