Even a man who thought that women want to have sex with their fathers and that women spend much of their lives distraught because they lack a penis is right sometimes. This person, the legend that is Sigmund Freud, theorized that people often have the most hateful and negative attitudes towards things they secretly crave, but feel that they shouldn't have.
If Freud is right, then perhaps men who are the most opposed to male homosexuality have particularly strong homosexual urges for other men.
One study asked heterosexal men how comfortable and anxious they are around gay men. Based on these scores, they then divided these men into two groups: men that are homophobic, and men who are not. These men were then shown three, four-minute videos. One video depicted straight sex, one depicted lesbian sex and one depicted gay male sex. While this was happening, a device was attached to each participant's penis. This device has been found to be triggered by sexual arousal, but not other types of arousal (such as nervousness, or fear - arousal often has a very different meaning in psychology than in popular usage).
When viewing lesbian sex and straight sex, both the homophobic and the non-homophobic men showed increased penis circumference. For gay male sex, however, only the homophobic men showed heightened penis arousal.
Heterosexual men with the most anti-gay attitudes, when asked, reported not being sexually aroused by gay male sex videos. But, their penises reported otherwise.
Homophobic men were the most sexually aroused by gay male sex acts.
I'm a homophobephile
I'm not a fan of homophobes.
Really? There might have been 1 person on this board that didn't already know that. No I take that back, every single person on this board knows that. Is your comment even on topic? Not really, but I am sure you'll come back to try to argue how it is.I'm not a fan of homophobes.
so you're homophobe-phobic?
Studies like this are a testament to how bad our economy is.
Researcher: Hi, I'd like to show you movie clips of gay porn and attach a 'device' to your penis while me and a team of researchers watch you. We'll pay you $10 for your time.
Participant: $10???? OMFG SIGN ME UP!!

I buy it. It always seems like it's the rabid anti-queer preachers and stuff that get caught at the rest stops.
:thumbsup:
So, all you homophobes out there, have you ever had gay sex? Because it seems that you may be denying who you really are.
Maybe the gay community should turn these ideas inward and admit that they sometimes get aroused thinking about heterosexual sex. That might make them feel conflicted and lead to a Moonbeam type of realization that their self hatred is a sexual obsession.
Really?
Gay guy I met told me a story about meeting some dude in a bar, they go back to his place and have anal sex. In the middle of the whole thing the guy goes "wait, this doesn't mean that I'm gay, does it?"
Based on these comments that would mean that everyone is bisexual. Which is what I'm always arguing.
story is lacking details. Was he giving or receiving? If receiving, definitely gay. If giving, only gay if he was also massaging the other guy's nipples in the process.
There are pretty clear cut rules on this stuff, folks. I don't understand all the confusion.
Ummm, no. Gays don't bother me at all. Watching men kiss each other doesn't affect me one way or the other and gay porn, IMO, is unappealing because I'm just not attracted to male bodies.
Truthfully, though, I'll admit an attraction to REALLY hot Thai trannies, but they're so few and far between that it's almost a moot point.
Homophobic men were the most sexually aroused by gay male sex acts.
