Something for the Homophobic (23)

Research by Prof Henry Adams of the University of Georgia in the USA suggests that 80 percent of homophobes get sexually aroused by gay erotic imagery, lending support to the theory that overt homophobia is often evidence of repressed homosexual feelings.

In Prof. Adams's test, homophobic men who said they were exclusively heterosexual were shown gay sex videos. Eighty percent got erections. The finding was published in the US Journal of Abnormal Psychology in 1996, backed by the American Psychological Association.

Prof. Adams says his research shows that most homophobes "demonstrate significant sexual arousal to homosexual erotic stimuli", suggesting that homophobia is frequently a form of "latent homosexuality".

This data supports the theory that homophobia is often indicative of repressed, self-loathing homosexual feelings; and that many homophobes use anti-gay rhetoric as a smoke screen to disguise their own homosexuality.

Lipstick lesbians my favourite, mind you they seemed to have rather confused sexuality as well

After a enough pints they'd go after any bloke in a dress...

The non-phobes didn't need scientific reasearch to tell us that.

Shakespeare's 'protest too much' put it out there for us long ago.

I'm sure there are loads of people who, upon seeing someone post expressions of homophobic sentiments, smirk at the poster.

The sad thing is when a person strongly relates anal sex to being homosexual that they can't see it as a sex act, but only as a homosexual act.

Hmmm but most nillas associate crossdressing with being gay, does that mean they're all repressed drag queens ?

that's not the phobic reaction, so according to the reasearch, no... it's just a bizzare relation between the two.

I remember a comic who had a variety show, Flip Wilson. He had a female character and I don't know anyone who figured him for gay... oh, but that was for comedy... not serious dressing.

Which are you yoki? Serious or for comedy? :-D

Both, I'm deadly serious but have to laugh at myself...I mean common I'm nearly 40 and I love dressing up as a school girl and going to sleep with my teddy bears....hardly normal behaviour.

Hmmm it's not really comedy you can't stop having the urges so it's not really a game anymore than someone who is gay really has a choice in the matter you just are who you are. But I'm sure some of the comedians are closet trannies anyway but its easy for them....they're just someone to laugh at so not seen as a threat

I used to believe I just had a fetish....but then growing up my sexuality was the only bit of me that seemed normal, I grew up feeling like I had the wrong mind nothing really seemed right. I'm more bi-gender it's like theres two of me sometimes its confusing lol

But I have to laugh growing up I had more encounters of people being hettie phobic, where I grew cross dressing wasn't exactly the thing to do unless you wanted to be beaten up but there was quite a lively gay scene and well it was the safest place to dress up but I got a lot of hassle in the form of 'who let the hettie in' lol

I take it back what I said about the gay/analsex relationship. What's truely worse is when people are so homophobic that any post of gay sex or homophobic innuendos are suspected as being an attack.
