The article presents a study that examines the relative erotic value of male and females for homosexual males and compares patterns of erotic reactions of heterosexual and homosexual males in Toronto, Ontario. The phallometric test of erotic preference was used in the study and sexual reactions in the form of penile volume changes to potentially erotic stimuli were measured during two sessions. Penile volume reactions of homosexual and heterosexual males were compared using slides of nudes of both sexes and slides of bland sexually neutral pictures. Researchers conclude that studies did not support the hypothesis that homosexuality is a neurotic symptom.
