Anger At Homosexuality--Explained At Last?

Recommended Posts

I've noticed that some men become almost red faced with anger when talking about gays and others have a live and let live attitude. I read an interesting article that just may explain what is actually happening. There is a device called a plethysmograph that can be attached to a man's penis to measure VERY slight changes, not visibly noticeable to the eye. Let's say a child molester, after several years in prison, says he no longer desires young children. They simply attach the plethysmograph and then show him pictures of children in various poses intended to arouse him. If he has really put it all behind him there will be no response. When this device is put on a supposedly straight man that has a strong hatred for gays and he is shown same sex acts, in ninety percent of them there is arousal. When tested on tolerant men there is no reaction. The men that were violently anti gay that showed arousal, claim that it from anger.

 

What seems to be going on is the strongly anti gay men may either know they have desires that they must keep hidden, so an angry response is put out or they may have a very deep desires that they aren't quite aware of, but they know something is bothering them deep inside about same sex.

It would surely be a plausible explanation... I wouldn't be surprised to learn that this is true. However, those plethysmographs aren't exactly the most reliable tools around. I recommend caution. ;)

I agree with Thurisaz that this is a plausible explanation, but it seems too simplistic to me. For example, it seems odd to me that not one of the non-angry straight men registered even a sign of arousal. My understanding that there is a range of homosexuality in all people, with some having very little and others having very much. If this is true, then I would have expected at least some of the non-angry straight men to have some reaction even if not enough to say that they are gay. The whole thing seems too "black and white" and I don't think our sexuality is like that.

 

And like Thurisaz pointed out, there is also the issue of the reliability of that "Peter meter".

Yeah I agree with the previous comments. Those peener meters aren't the most reliable, especially because anger can be confused with arousal. When men become angry, a certain amount of blood rushes to the penis depending on the level of anger and the intensity thereof. I think there may be something to the homophobia and the repression of homosexuality in straight men, but these type of tests certainly aren't very reliable in deciphering those type things.

Maybe the state ahould require peener meter pre employment testing for youth pastors.

The old Shakespeare quote about "doth protest too much" is often seen in pastors that are closet gays. They preach vehemently against it so that they can feel somewhat balanced and prove to their god that they are "really" against it despite what the flesh desires. What a terrible way to live! Religion is such a harmful mind worm. We saw that in Mel Gibson's breakdowns because he's balancing being an uber-strict Latin-only Catholic with being an international sex symbol. Tremendous success and lust directed at him, and tremendous guilt and shame continually roiling in his mind.

A miracle!! Glory!

Keep in mind that there are also medical conditions that will also make a man become erect that have little to do with the thought process.

I don't think I need science to verify the fact that many, many of the most outspoken gay bashers are eventually found out to be closet queens themselves. Particularly true in the religious/political arena.

I've got a believer friend that is the most violently anti gay person that I know. Every time he goes on a rant about the evils of gays, his face gets red and veins pop out of his neck. I like to kid him by saying "maybe it's time to hook you up to a plethysmograph". I'll see if I can locate the article that made the claim, some of my details may be slightly off, but it does make some sense.

I know, it is very hard to believe isn't it. Once in a while, this is true. lol

This hypothesis seems to be supported by the number of anti-gay people who are eventually found to have same-sex encounters or relationships.

Then again, maybe we need to be careful here. Just how often would those cases be reported where rabid homophobes are NOT caught with male hookers or such? ;)

I think it's just tied to sexual repression somehow.

Now that I've deconverted and no longer have guilt over sexuality I am suddenly no longer upset by homosexuality at all.

For sure, but it's still an interesting exercise to review instances where they have been.  For schadenfreude if nothing else ;)

Interesting point.  It makes me think, when a person views sexuality through the lens of "godly" behaviours and "sinful" behaviours, judging homosexuality becomes an obvious response to that.  Once that binary framework is gone, and replaced by "what consenting adults do in private is their business" there is no particular reason to be upset by homosexuality.  The discrimination often just evaporates.

Can't argue that... even if I wanted to :fdevil:
