GinaSmith wrote:The hypothesis that arousal to pedophilic stimuli is a function of general sexual arousability factors was supported in that pedophilic and adult heterosexual arousal were positively correlated, particularly in the physiological data. Subjects who were highly arousable, insofar as they were unable to voluntarily and completely inhibit their sexual arousal, were more sexually aroused by all stimuli than were subjects who were able to inhibit their sexual arousal. Thus, arousal to pedophilic stimuli does not necessarily correspond with pedophilic behavior.
Maybe I'm tired but I feel like there are a few sentences missing before the last one here. What do you mean by this? Just that lots of adult males are aroused by paedophilic stimuli but don't abuse?
Of course, I did not write that; I was just quoting the abstract, but your understanding is accurate.

Thanks for that correction. I've edited my post.

Why would you need to see that?
"Visual stimuli consisted of slides of nude prepubescent girls". This is considered pornography?
*sigh* Must be the Bible Belt trying to study the World.
I wish it were just the Bible belt, but this is actually federal law enforcement policy. And it gets even worse. As a result of a Supreme Court case,
Knox v. US, the Dept. of Justice issued new guidelines saying that photos of
clothed children could now be considered kiddy porn. Parents have been convicted of kp for photos of their infants breastfeeding, their kids in the tub, and grandmothers for photos of a grandkid bare-assed crawling on the floor.
