Homophobia Linked To Repressed Homosexual Arousal, Authoritarian Parenting
By ROXANNE PALMER
April 10, 2012 3:36 PM EDT
Here's a recipe for homophobia, psychologists say: Mix repressed same-sex attraction with authoritarian parents. Simmer for 18 or more years.
College students who said they felt more controlled or pressured by their parents tended to have a greater discrepancy between their reported sexual orientation and their actual orientation as determined by a psychological test, researchers from the University of Essex, the University of California, Santa Barbara, and the University of Rochester (N.Y.) found.
And students who had the greatest sexual identity conflict -- young men and women who reported a straight identity while scoring highest on homosexual tendencies -- also exhibited a number of behaviors consistent with homophobia. They tended to report more negative or fearful attitudes toward gays and lesbians, tended to be biased against homosexuals in hypothetical situations, and were more likely to endorse anti-gay policies.
"In many cases these are people who are at war with themselves and they are turning this internal conflict outward," co-author Richard Ryan, a professor of psychology at the University of Rochester, said in a statement.
The scientists described their results in a paper published last week in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
The conjectured link between homophobia and unwanted homosexual tendencies has its roots in Sigmund Freud's description of "reaction formation," a defense mechanism wherein a person overcompensates for emotions and impulses that cause them anxiety by aggressively pursuing the opposing tendency.
Other researchers have unearthed physical evidence to support this theoretical framework. In 1996, the Journal of Abnormal Psychology published a study from three University of Georgia researchers who studied homosexual arousal in self-identified heterosexual men.
In this experiment, the researchers hooked the subjects' penises up to devices that measured the degree of their erections, and showed them pornography. All the men responded to videos of heterosexual and lesbian intercourse, but only the men that showed signs of homophobia based on a questionnaire developed erections in response to homosexual male coupling.
"Homophobia is apparently associated with homosexual arousal that the homophobic individual is either unaware of or denies," the Georgia researchers wrote in 1996.
One of the challenges to studying repressed homosexuality is, obviously, how to identify same-sex attraction in someone who says they are straight. No technique is fool-proof.
In the current study, researchers used a technique to identify subjects' "implicit sexual orientation" that involved sorting words and pictures into "gay" and "straight" categories.
But before the subject began the task, he or she was primed with a subliminal message: The word "me" or "others" was flashed across the screen for a fraction of a second, long enough to be unconsciously perceived but too quick to be consciously noted.
The researchers then measured how long it took the students to sort the pictures into the categories. If a subject was quicker to identify words and pictures associated with homosexuality than heterosexual ones after being primed with "me," their implicit orientation leaned gay.
There are other limitations to these studies, the authors acknowledge; all of the subjects in the four studies conducted no longer live at home with their parents.
"It may be helpful to test these effects in younger adolescents still living in the home and in older adults who have spent a longer time away from parents' influence," the authors wrote.

Aside from the flaw in the argument (GarMan isn't actually homophobic by definition), I laughed out loud at the this thread. Chizad does have a good sense of humor after all.
And yes, what Snags said - trouble.

Yes. I understand this article. Mommy and daddy held me back and now I want to try it all. In the 60's it was drugs and free love. Now it is sucking cock. It is still a choice that is made. To suck dick or not suck dick. It's all mommy and daddy's fault.
An article about men sucking cock by a woman! The beta male transformation is being reaffirmed.

S-o-r-r-y... The TigersX advocates will stop at no end to justify and legitimize alternative behaviors. Whether it be a faggot, a street thug like Trayvon, or whatever else tickles their tender spots... There's no reasoning with irrational people.

Several in this thread doth protest too much. Just sayin'.
Studies have scientifically proven what was already obvious to most of us.

Studies... You can find a so-called study that attempts to excuse, legitimize or impugn virtually anything nowadays. That doesn't always mean that the findings or conclusions are necessarily correct. Scientific studies have been used to prove a lot of things that we have later learned to be false. And, your obvious love for cock is irrelevant here.

That's all good and great and all, but why do you love dick so much?

Well, it was entertaining...
But back to the article, if their theory, underlying premise and foregone conclusion were to hold true, that would also suggest that the equally negative responses that many of us have toward murderers, rapists, pedophiles, burglars, arsonists, meth-heads, pot-heads, street bums and other degenerates would indicate that we all maintain some repressed desire to be degenerates. Aside from that lunacy, I'd love to learn more about these supposed psychological measures, tests and determinations of tendencies and orientation. I guess it's all scientifical according to the self-proclaimed experts on the subject.

Following the premise of the study, I suspect that means you have a repressed desire to be more like us.

They might have taken some lessons from the Turkish Army:
Proving you're gay to the Turkish army
By Emre Azizlerli
BBC World Service
Military service is mandatory for all Turkish men - they can only escape it if they are ill, disabled or homosexual. But proving homosexuality is a humiliating ordeal.
''They asked me when I first had anal intercourse, oral sex, what sort of toys I played with as a child."
Ahmet, a young man in his 20s, told officials he was gay at the first opportunity after he was called up, as he and other conscripts underwent a health check.
"They asked me if I liked football, whether I wore woman's clothes or used woman's perfume," he says.
''I had a few days' beard and I am a masculine guy - they told me I didn't look like a normal gay man.''
He was then asked to provide a picture of himself dressed as a woman.
''I refused this request,'' he says. ''But I made them another offer, which they accepted.'' Instead he gave them a photograph of himself kissing another man.
Ahmet hopes this will give him what he needs - a "pink certificate", which will declare him homosexual and therefore exempt from military service.
Over the years, gay life has been becoming more visible in Turkey's big cities. Cafes and clubs with an openly gay clientele have been opening in Istanbul, and last summer's gay pride march - unique in the Muslim world - was the largest ever.
But while there are no specific laws against homosexuality in Turkey, openly gay men are not welcome in the army. At the same time, they have to "prove" their homosexuality in order to avoid military service.
...
Gokhan, conscripted in the late 1990s, very quickly realised that he was not made for the army.
''I had a fear of guns,'' he reminisces.
As a gay man he was also afraid of being bullied, and after little more than a week he plucked up the courage to declare his sexual orientation to his commander.
''They asked me if I had any photographs.'' Gokhan says, ''And I did.''
He had gone prepared with explicit photographs of himself having sex with another man, having heard that it would be impossible to get out of military service without them.
''The face must be visible,'' says Gokhan. ''And the photos must show you as the passive partner.''
The photographs satisfied the military doctors. Gokhan was handed his pink certificate and exempted from military service. But it was a terrible experience, he says,
''And it's still terrible. Because somebody holds those photographs. They can show them at my village, to my parents, my relatives.''
...
The Turkish army refused BBC requests for an interview, but a retired general, Armagan Kuloglu, agreed to comment.
Openly gay men in the army would cause "disciplinary problems", he says, and would be impractical creating the need for "separate facilities, separate dormitories, showers, training areas".
