A LATENT HOMOSEXUAL?

A LATENT HOMOSEXUAL?





Latent homosexuality is an erotic inclination towards people of the same sex that is not consciously experienced or expressed. First termed by Sigmund Freud, latent homosexuality is repressed, suppressed, unrecognised and/or not acted upon.

There is a theory of homophobia based on latent homosexuality. Researchers from the University of Georgia published their research findings on latent homosexuality and homophobia - see Adams H E, Wright Jr, L W & Lohr B A (1996) Is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal? Journal of Abnormal Psychology 105(3) pp440-445.

They conducted an experiment on 64 homosexual men, 35 of whom exhibited homophobic traits and 29 did not. The experiment involved penile plethysmography, which is the estimation of blood flow to the penis by measuring the circumference of their penis. In psychology, it’s a common way of measuring male sexual arousal.

Both the homophobic and non-homophobic groups were shown the same three types of pornography - heterosexual, lesbian and gay porn. The researchers found that there was no difference in sexual arousal between the two groups when shown heterosexual and lesbian porn.

However, when the two groups were shown gay porn, 24 per cent of non-homophobic men displayed signs of sexual arousal but 54 per cent of homophobic men showed signs of sexual arousal.

Three explanations have been put forward to explain their findings. The first (environmental) explanation is that homophobic men haven’t been exposed to homosexuality or have been exposed to homophobia in their upbringing.

A second (physiological) explanation, based on the finding that anxiety sometimes enhances sexual arousal, is that the homophobic men were anxious watching porn and thus got a hard-on.

The third and most intriguing (psychoanalytical) explanation is that men conceal their homosexuality by being homophobic. Thus, more homophobic men will get an erection watching gay porn than non-homophobic men.

In his book Natural Selection and Social Theory, Rutgers University’s Professor Robert Trivers argued that the more antagonistic a man is towards homosexuality, the greater extent of his latent homosexuality.

Do any of the three images above and below sexually arouse you?
How do you deal with homophobia?
Do you think you may have a latent sexuality?


Below is a piece of homoerotic art from the Finnish artist Touko Laaksonen, better known by his pseudonym Tom of Finland.

As a man who's tried to expand his sexuality and acceptance of all, I've played there. So far I haven't ever been aroused - gotten hard - from direct homosexual experience or porn. I have overcome my own homophobia this way however. I can give a blow job, just as I can lick pussy (though I have far more experience with pussy) I just don't get any arousal from it myself, whereas with pussy I almost always do.

The pictures do nothing for me. Never had any experience with homophobia, so it something I don't deal with. Never had any interest either. My philosophy is to each their own

No they don't arouse me personally....I love the male form but these photos do nothing for me.

I have rarely encountered homophobia in my life....not that I have led a sheltered life but I guess I instinctively avoid narrow minded people...or ignore them if I have to.

I experimented with bisexuality when I was much younger but not any more.

I've tried touching another man but it didn't do much for me. Either I'm not latent or very latent!

Each to their own, unless there're animals and children involved, is my philosophy too.

    Quoting AmeliaCox:
    I found the images of real people sexy but the TOF one has unnatural proportions that I find tasteless and not the least bit arousing.

    I perceive homophobia as a disease of the mind and try my best to ignore it. I was once bailed up by some moron who accused me of being a homo and I stuffed with his reality by standing up to him by saying that if I was, his arse wasn't safe and he should get as far away from me as he could.

    If by latent, you mean repressed, suppressed, unrecognised etc... No, I'm not trying to consciously subvert any secret urges and I'm sure I have no hidden ones as whatever urges I have I give into them and don't care how they are identified by others but I see myself as a heterosexual female that has birth anomalies. Those who want to argue otherwise can eat shit.
I don't think I have any latent sexuality unless it's too latent for me to see!

That's the problem with latent sexuality is that no one can be sure whether they have anything latent!

I think about a third of my work colleagues are gay, lesbian or bisexual.

    What it is is what it is!
    Do you think you may have a latent sexuality?
    If I had, at 53, I would know about by now!
It's one of the few advantages of getting older that you tend to know yourself quite well.

The homophobia I tend to come across the most (and it's not a lot) are comments dressed up as jokes.

    I think I have latent sexuality, everything arouses me, lol!

    That might change if I actually *had* sex, though...
That's one wide range of sexuality you have.

You've crushed a lot of men's egos saying that a dildo is more pleasurable than their cocks. I follow your logic totally.
