Data are shown as grounds for hypotheses concerning the current folkways of sexual behavior. These are, first, the older sex mores are breaking down; and, second, it is consequently, increasingly difficult to define sex delinquency, and perhaps meaningless to try to do so, except in certain types of behavior involving cruelty and exploitation.
