Is Homophobia Associated With Homosexual Arousal?

Henry E. Adams, Lester W. Wright, Jr., and Bethany A. Lohr​

University of Georgia

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.​

So next time you see a "homophobic" guy, you actually now know he is most likely bisexual, or maybe even fully gay himself.

No-one cares.

Go out there and get your dick sucked, or make love to your girlfriend.

If you're not doing either of those you're wasting your nights.

Stop posting lame shit like this.

Hmmm...what are the p-values for this? Are they significant? I don't have time to read the full article.

It's also a widely known fact, just watch "American Beauty"!

I have always been a strong believer of individuals that are comfortable with their sexaulity and other sexualities are alot less likely to be homosexual if they claim to hetrosexual. Alot of males I know that are homophobic see this as "gay" yet it is merely that they are insecure of their sexuality and have a higher probability of hiding or denying their true sexuality. This research proves this fact!

By the way, sja.. You are the reason why this research was made. You are the ones who become erect after watching homosexual footage. You only prove this theory further. Now does someone feel stupid now?

I Now does someone feel stupid now?

Yes. You must feel stupid for thinking that I would consider an opinion from an 18 year old who just finished the HSC.

Edit: Naw, after glancing through the article, there were actually quite a few p-values's, all of which I came across where significant at the 5% level. Really can't be bothered to go through the whole article.

H_a: μ > 0 (testing for carefactor)

Except the P value is bigger than the sig value so we'll just pretend
