Is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal?

Adams HE, Wright LW Jr, Lohr BA.

Department of Psychology, University of Georgia, Athens 30602-3013, USA.

The authors investigated the role of homosexual arousal in exclusively heterosexual men who admitted negative affect toward homosexual individuals. Participants consisted of a group of homophobic men (n = 35) and a group of nonhomophobic men (n = 29); they were assigned to groups on the basis of their scores on the Index of Homophobia (W. W. Hudson & W. A. Ricketts, 1980). The men were exposed to sexually explicit erotic stimuli consisting of heterosexual, male homosexual, and lesbian videotapes, and changes in penile circumference were monitored. They also completed an Aggression Questionnaire (A. H. Buss & M. Perry, 1992). Both groups exhibited increases in penile circumference to the heterosexual and female homosexual videos. Only the homophobic men showed an increase in penile erection to male homosexual stimuli. The groups did not differ in aggression. Homophobia is apparently associated with homosexual arousal that the homophobic individual is either unaware of or denies.

Hands up - who’s surprised? Every time I see some asshole spewing anti-gay bullshit, I always think “Get over yourself - you know you want the noodle…” - and now I have the data to back it up.

This is my favorite Stevie Wonder song. It doesn’t compare to the original, but it’s George & Mary J. - I mean, COME ON!

Remember (alleged) Psycho Hottie? I found two more pictures of him. Not the best, but still - RAWR.

Where we live, guys that look like this are a dime a dozen. Also a dime a dozen? Soldiers.

I added a new header to my layout, which was quite fun to make. Yes, that’s me - and yes, I’m in my skivvies. Behind the cut are 3 more that fell short of what I wanted for the layout. By the way, those are my favorite boxer briefs. I call them my Dr. Seuss drawers. ;-)

SO - now I want everyone to comment to this post with a picture of yourselves in

YOUR

underwear. Boys, girls, it makes no difference. GO!
