Abstract
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 non-homophobic men (n = 29); they were assigned to groups on the basis of their scores on the Index of Homophobia (W. W. Hudson & A. Ricketts, 1980). The men were exposed to sexually explicit erotic stimuli consisting of heterosexual, male homosexual, and lesbian videsotapes, 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.

Lol. But hasn't this been known for a while, about homophobes?
I love that they were measuring penis circumference lol.
Meh, I'm sure some homophobe will try to dismantle their findings regarding their scientific method...
BTW the Captcha was 'aulee' - made me giggle
It's been suspected, alluded to, theorized...now it's science!
Tell you what's funnier still...
I got a search engine hit for this post under:
"men homosexuality videos"
I think I'm about to get a whole load more traffic from homosexuals perusing the interwebs for gay porn...
xD
