PEEPERS: SUMMARY
The peepers are a mixed group including the sociosexually underdeveloped, mental deficients, situational cases, drunks, and still other varieties. One may summarize this confusion by saying that a large number (possibly a majority) of habitual peepers generally have inadequate heterosexual lives, and the remaining peepers are a miscellany of persons whose peeping is not so habitual and who generally have adequate sexual lives. At this point it should be reiterated that peepers rarely spy on relatives and friends, but seek strangers.
The peepers tend to be either the only child or the youngest child in their families, and also have very few sisters. Their relationship with their parents was good, although the parents themselves did not get along very well. The poor heterosexual life that typifies many peepers was foreshadowed in childhood when two fifths of them lacked female friends.
In adult life relatively few peepers petted and those who did so began late. This is in keeping with the fact that in their midteens they also had few female friends. Premarital coitus was belated but other wise not unusual. A rather small proportion of peepers married and few had extramarital coitus. All in all, the picture is one of a somewhat stunted heterosexuality, which may explain in part their rather strong homosexual component.
The criminal record of the peepers is fairly extensive and they were especially delinquent when juvenile. However, much of their criminal record stems from habitual peeping and some exhibition.
