Boyhood sexual experiences with older males: using the Internet for behavioral research.

Empirical research into the sexuality of children goes back many decades and, in the past, it has been possible to interview children directly in both clinical and non-clinical settings (Bender & Blau, 1937; Sandfort, 1987). Retrospective surveys of childhood sexual experiences have also been conducted in college introductory courses in the social sciences (see, e.g., Rind, Bauserman, & Tromovitch, 1998).
