I'm not.
Quote: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.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8772014
OFC, there's also the anxiety based arousal theory of why homophobes get a woody for gay pron. That being anxious, in and of itself, causes arousal in them. Like a coondog with his little pecker poking out everytime he gets nervous about gunfire (though, maybe, coondogs are just gun nuts whereas homophobes secretly want penis).
I don't know which is worse, lol. Perhaps some of our forum homophobes can tell us which conclusion they would prefer?
Wow... in that case I'll be looking at our forum homophobes in a whole new light now, whichever theory is right... ie imagining them looking something like Min's avatar every time they rant
