Apparently homophobic men are more likely to get a boner watching gay male porn than non-homophobic men, according to this study.https://www.psychologytoday.com/files/u47/Henry_et_al.pdf
"In the homophobic group, 20% showed no significant tumescence, 26% showed moderate tumescence, and 54% showed definite tumescence to the homosexual video.

Bunch of closet gays.
Fact: A hungry researcher can obtain a study favoring anything for a fee. So can 9 out 10 doctors. Comes down to how much it will cost to obtain the desired results. According to another unrelated story, we're not supposed to be hear based solely upon what we don't know.
Faith can deceive in many ways and it's all predicated upon the gullibility of the faithful, how much it costs to sell them and what the return is on that investment. Sometimes a white paper on a subject is shilled and posted on sites as links, like you've just done, and from there it becomes a meme that reaches countless numbers and gains some traction in the cranial air spaces of the IM (Ignorant Masses). Once imprinted there, it sticks around a while and gains some adherents of the notion who stand to gain some notable relevance in their otherwise obscures lives so they feign intellect by parroting such stuff with words like the above as well as "experts say...".
People follow patterns like the one you are a forwarding here and that's how non fact based hearsay gets around. It's also know as gossip.
Well, I do think that this study as at least somewhat trustworthy, although I am somewhat skeptical of the methods.
I have heard of such studies of course, but am weary for a number of reasons. Not least is if it were true then I'm not sure what is being demonised here, if it's homophobia then fine, but sometimes it seems like just another excuse to be homophobic. That's to say it seems to imply something insidious that there are two types of homophobes, real or straight homophobes and closet gay men or women. This makes me uneasy. Homophobia like racism is just plain wrong and deeply pernicious. I think it would be better if research focused on the positive contributions that gay people have and do make to our societies, and to highlight how deeply pernicious homophobia is, and the number of young lives it cuts short every year when gay people are demonised by religious bigotry. We should make it the goal of every civilised society to denounce homophobia and make it clear than no belief no matter how deeply held entitles people to demonise and destroy the lives of others because of who they are.
Sexual material will always be sexually stimulating. Even rape victims can feel guilty or confused by their own unwanted orgasms or excitement. That does not mean the victim wanted the rape, or that the men in this study are secret homosexuals.
Breezy is right. Humans sexuality is an extremely wide open topic.
