Exactly. It doesn’t get serious consideration. Which is exactly what my interview subjects complain about. But that is far afield from the topic of this e-mail list.
The purpose of my inquiry is to look for experienced qualitative researchers who feel this does deserve serious consideration who would like to discuss proper analysis of the data.
Thank you.

This does not sound good. What ages are you talking about? I can't see this being given serious consideration.

Thank you Elliot,
This is interesting. I don’t want to carry on an off-topic conversation here, but I should clarify. This is not about false allegations. This is about juveniles who enjoyed physical intimacy with someone older and hold it to be a positive experience in their lives. Typically, when such a relationship is discovered, the younger party is not asked how they felt about it. They are automatically labeled as abuse victims and the subjects in this research disagree with that.

Regarding existing research on the subject, I’ve done an extensive literature search and find that research mostly, with a few exceptions, stopped after the censure of the Rind study in 1998. Gonzalo, could you give me references to the research you’re referring to? Elliot, could you tell me what search terms you gave Google Scholar that brought up relevant references?
Sure. I tried two different strings which produced similar results. But, I did not plow through the whole list to see which was relevant or recent. I did see that many hits were from non-academic sources
