A comparison of structural patterns of sexual arousal in male and female homosexuals.
Patterns of sexual arousal were examined for eight male and eight female homosexuals. Comparisons were made in terms of physiological and subjective arousal. The results indicate that for each group there exists very distinct arousal responses, with each group showing the greatest response to same-gender homosexual activity. Results are discussed in relationship to establishing normative data for assessment and clinical function.
