Psychology Today: "Homophobic Men Most Aroused By Gay Male Porn"

[MystikWizard]

I have trouble believing getting aroused by anything having a device attached to your dick. That would seem a little too distracting to actually get into whatever is on the screen.

But that being said, I do suspect Homophobes would secretly become arouse by Gay sex and are likely either Gay or Bi themselves and curious. I simply am looking for assurances of the results of any study that can prove this notion.

I have never found the results of experiments such as these to be shocking. What I have always found shocking is that people will actually allow themselves to be subjected to the experiment to begin with.

I mean, really? Most of us here have known on a fundamental level that we liked cock for as long as we can remember. We didn't just wake up one day and go "Welp...today I've decided I want a cock in my mouth and/or ass." Whether these poor souls admit it or not, they've known just as long as the rest of us. They just chose to bury it behind a wall of shame, denial and self-loathing...but that doesn't mean that it goes away completely.

Shouldn't they be cognizant of the fact that gay porno is going to get them hard (you know, since they're all nelly bottoms waiting to happen) and not put themselves in that position in the first place?

Then again, maybe this is why I shouldn't have avoided psychology in high school and college...Ancient History and Computer Science are confused by this situation.

You don't tell them that's what it's about, you come up with some other explanation for what you're doing. I participated in one once that was supposed to have been about shampoo, but it turned out to have been something about the effect of certain proteins on hair follicles.

The article referred to by Psychology Today was published in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology as long ago as 1996. You can read its abstract here. I don't find the results particularly surprising.

A version of the "index of homophobia" which was used to classify the participants in the study can be seen here.

-T.

In actuality, it's not, but I respect that you believe it is.

That's such a wonderfully cliched typical psych-whatever response.

Do you happen to work in the psych-industry perchance?

Have you tried FleshJack?

Did you once get dragged to a Psych and not like what he/she had to say about you, perchance?

 

[wenchine-mahtapasikan]

While those results seem poetically just, I don't think we can soak in the irony just yet.

I've heard about studies like this. First, as already mentioned here, having a device attached to your dick generates both observer's paradox and... other... bias. Secondly, genuine attraction and desire are not the only sources of what is physiologically interpreted as arousal. "Arousal" can be produced in rape, by chemicals, and by other random factors that have nothing to do with physical attraction.

I did once (voluntarily) begin to see a psychiatrist regarding mental health issues; but upon realising that she had far more mental problems than I did, I immediately terminated my contact with her.

I am also acquainted with several members of the psych professions socially; a psychiatrist, a couple of psychotherapists, several psychologists and numerous psychology students. All, without exception, are barkingly-mad, pretentious asshats, who are completey full of shit ... and yet they pretend to have some deep insight into the 'human condition'.

All their jobs are dependent on an agreement of normalcy. Forcing the 'human condition' into a false dichotomy of either being their 'normal' or not. Case in point? Asperger's Syndrome...

That explains so many men love their Harleys.

Well now that's where the control aspect would come in.

 

[FanofFiction]

By the way, is it just me or does anyone else think the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is the most homoerotic event allowed on TV? I know a lot of homophobes are huge fans of those fights and would not say "that's gay".

I tell straight guys that all the time! It's the gayest thing on tv!

 

[Angdail]

You're about thirty years behind the times.

Actually, farther than that. I remember an article from the first issue of National Review (1950s), called "You'll Never Get Me On That Couch," which espoused a very similar view of psychotherapy. Some people are dead set against it, which is sad, because many people have benefited, and continue to benefit from it.

 

[doetim]

The whole 'homophobes = repressed closet-cases who are gaggging for cock' theory, may or may not be true; but as for psychology, psychiatry, psychotherapy, etc, etc (and anything beginning with 'psych') ... it's all pretty much pseudo-scientific charlatanesque bullshit.

These people produced results from doing research and tests on human beings.
Did you do any research or tests to come to your conclusion that it's all bullshit?

Interesting. I suppose that makes sense, Kul. I'm a very suspicious person by nature so I guess I was projecting my distrust of people in general and their motives onto the test subjects.

Well now that's where the control aspect would come in.

Not on topic at all. I just happen to be from Tallahassee and I found your location to be funny.

On the outer edges.

Like many professions, the weaknesses, quirks or practices of part of the population reflect poorly on others. I certainly know many people who have been helped by seeing someone in the profession, though, and they are in the majority, thankfully.

Still, I understand not everyone has a positive experience, hence my attempt at a contrary but respectful reply. I'm just happy you're still around posting. I miss your contributions when you're away.
