Brain Scan Can Reveal a Person’s Sexual Attraction

An international team of scientists has devised a hemodynamic brain scan using MRI that can empirically measure a person’s sexual attraction, whether to male/female, adult/child. This test is much like a polygraph test, except using blood flow in the brain instead of skin conductivity/blood pressure to quantify a test subjects’ attraction to different images. The full publication can be viewed here.

Previously, scientists used a phallometric device, which girds the penis to measure inflation, to quantify a man’s attraction. However, the ability of some men to manipulate their penile responses during the phallometric measurement makes the statistics derived from penile plethysmograph tests substantially less accurate than these hemodynamic brain scans. Plus, females can now be tested, though were not present in this study’s sample.

The findings of the study seem to corroborate the original published draft of the Diagnostic-Statistic Manual 5 (DSM-5), where they controversially labeled pedophilia an “orientation” before changing the wording to “sexual interest” upon public outcry. No tests have been done to ascertain to what degree these attractions may be “acquired,” if at all. In the sample group of men tested, self-professed heterosexuals are attracted predominantly to women, homosexuals are attracted predominantly to men, paedo-homosexuals are predominantly attracted to boys, but interestingly paedo-heterosexuals are predominantly attracted to both girls and women.

"...paedo-homosexuals are predominantly attracted to boys..."



And there are a lot of them about!!!


Homosexuals make up less than 1% of the population of this country but a third of child sex abusers are men who target only boys.




Thanks for that dodge!!!

Still promoting the same error again I see Tommy
How many times have I corrected you on this?
20 times and you still keep being in denial

The percentage of male homosexuals among convicted child molesters is many times higher than the percentage of male homosexuals in the general population.

Several studies have shown that approximately 33% of convicted male child molesters molest males (Holland, 2007). In the study by Erickson, et al. (1988), 86% of the male sex offenders who assaulted boys (approximately 35% of the 229 convicted child molesters in the study) self-identified as homosexual; thus, approximately 30% (86% of 35%) of the male sex offenders who assaulted boys self-identified as homosexual. Now let’s compare this 30% to the percentage of self-identified male homosexuals in the general population. According to Wikipedia, 1.0%-1.6% of adult males self-identified as exclusively homosexual in random surveys worldwide. Even if we use the higher-end figure of 1.5% found in the most recent random survey in Great Britain (Doughty, 2012) as a reference point, we find that the percentage of convicted male child molesters who self-identified as homosexual in this study is 20 times as high (30% divided by 1.5%) as the percentage of males in the general population who self-identify as homosexual, thus demonstrating that this point is true and valid. Furthermore, studies using the more objective phallometric methods to assess the sexual orientation of convicted male child molesters have also validated this point (Marshall et al., 1988; Freund and Watson, 1992).

lol a Christian site Zack uses, dear me.




Most pedophiles are gay
Nope. The American Psychological Association (APA) explicitly states that "homosexual men are not more likely to sexually abuse children than heterosexual men are." 
According to the APA, accurate statistics on the prevalence of child and adolescent sexual abuse are difficult to collect because of issues of underreporting as well as the lack of a single definition of what constitutes sexual abuse among minors. The National Institute of Justice conducted a telephone survey that consisted of a national probability sample of 2,000 children between the ages of 10 and 16 for a report on Child Sexual Molestation. The survey found that 3.2 percent of girls and 0.6 percent of boys had suffered, at some point in their lives, sexual abuse involving physical contact. Other more recent reports often mingle child abuse, child sexual abuse, and child neglect. In a 2011 study, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services found that 27.4 out of 1,000 children were abused in some way; three-fifths (61.0%) of the perpetrators neglected children, 9.7 percent physically abused children, 6.2 percent sexually abused children, while another 15 percent were associated with more than one type of maltreatment.
It is true that possible biases against reporting homosexual encounters exist; a young boy might be less inclined than a young girl to report molestation for any number of reasons. That said, the comparative ratio of boys and girls who report molestation, the frequency of repeat offenders, and other factors suggest to those who have studied the matter that, even when compensating for underreporting, the number of same sex molesters would still be far less than opposite sex molesters. A majority of sexual offenders are men, family members, or in some way acquainted with the child. Women cannot be entirely excluded from the population of sex offenders as there are infrequent cases of women who molest children.
Research by A. Nicholas Groth, who has written extensively about sexual abuse, finds that there are two types of child molesters: fixated and regressive. The fixated child molester would not be considered homosexual or heterosexual because he often molests children of both sexes as he finds "adults of either sex repulsive." On the other hand, regressive child molesters are generally attracted to other adults, but may "regress" to focusing on children when confronted with stressful situations. Groth also found that the majority of regressed offenders were heterosexual in their adult relationships.

You can't 'correct' the truth dodge... you can only 'politically correct' it by burying it in lies and spin!!!

Yet another hysterical and emotive irrelevant reply from Tommy

To be fair, that's quite funny.

Hardly dodge... you claim to have corrected me over my post before but this never happened!




The facts remain... and your op just adds weight...

Like I say Tommy you are very deluded as you have made this same claim many times before where it showed up not only are you poor at maths but failed to even read correctly information from the NSPCC. lol

But please continue to be deluded, that is something you seem to be an expert in. lol

Which bit is wrong then dodge!?

This part:

but a third of child sex abusers are men who target only boys.

That is not wrong.


It is almost exclusively men who are perpetraters of child sexual abuse, and of those, about a third target only boys!!!


And your op says...

"...paedo-homosexuals are predominantly attracted to boys..."

Its wrong, because you are basing this off the known victims and not the known offenders.

No I'm not.

Boring.

However... your pathetic attempts to deny the truth are... most amusing!!!

What truth.
Your claims is based off known victims and not known offenders.
Its just you spouting gibberish and why I again will hae to send you to the insignificant section as you are so immature and stupid. lol

So enjoy talking to yourself again for a while.

Think about what you just claimed. If 33 percent of child abusers target only boys, then 67 percent of child abusers target both genders, or girls exclusively.

I still have to wonder why you care so deeply about the gender of the child being abused -- obviously it's just as bad in either case.

I care about them all.


The statistics speak for themselves.

He is not very good with maths, understanding statistics or rational thinking.
He is one dimentional Ben.

Hope you are having a lovely weekend

Catch you later

Not really. If you were well educated and thought rationally, you would have never managed to convince yourself that the Earth's axis had tilted ...

Why do you persist in acting as though being gay is related to being attracted to children of your own gender? You know that being straight has nothing to do with being attracted to children of the opposite gender.

NASA say the earth has shifted... the question isn't "if"... but "how much?"...


Dodge's op claims there is such a thing as a "homosexual peado"... something that has previously been vehemently denied by some here in previous debates!!!

Shifted imperceptibly as the result of a massive tectonic event. Imagine how badly the Earth would have to be shaken for the stars to actually change positions in the sky! It would at least take a collision with another large object.

The latter is a debate over terminology, what you want to label something. When we speak of gay rights, we aren't talking about pedophile rights, which you seem to be confused about. We're talking about consenting adults.

NO what is denied is you saying they are the same thing

A pedophile is a pedophile and it is doesn't matter the gender of the victim
A homosexual Likes MEN not little boys

GOT it MORON  there is no such thing as a 'homosexual Peado' because they are JUST PEADOS dumb ass,  Do you understand that Being Attracted to Something that is not sexually mature IS NOT THE SAME as being attracted to Adults of the same gender?
THEY ARE NOT RELATED AT ALL. THEY ARE 2 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS.

Think you need to read the op again vexa... clearly claims that there are homosexual peados!!!

Why do some posters use insults in replying to post that don't agree with, can't they just say "i don't Agree with that because------it's like little children in a play ground calling each other names.No need for it !!

nicko wrote:Why do some posters use insults in replying to post that don't agree with,   can't they just say "i don't Agree with that because------it's like little children in a play ground calling each other names.No need for it !!

Absolutely agree Nicko, there is no need for name calling.  It's very childish and says more about the name caller that the poster on the receiving end.  We are all adults after all, being polite and respectful regardless of whether you agree costs nothing.  As do manners

Homosexuals are attracted to men of their own age category.
Paedos are attracted to children.
Homosexual-Paedos are attracted to male children.

It's that flippin simple Tommy!

And there are homosexuals who are attracted to both...


Plenty of evidence of this available if you want to see some of it!



But the main thing is that the existence of homosexual peados has been vehemently denied by some on here in the past, including Didge, although he now posts an op that confirms the existence of homosexual peados!

And there are heterosexuals attracted to both women and girls?

What's your point?

My last paragraph...

nicko wrote:Why do some posters use insults in replying to post that don't agree with,   can't they just say "i don't Agree with that because------it's like little children in a play ground calling each other names.No need for it !!

To put it Bluntly
Calling People that Are not Pedophiles, Pedophile or implying they are IS FUCKED UP AND SHOULD NOT BE ACCEPTABLE
the fact you find calling him a moron worse than the way he keeps Imply Gay people rape kids makes you fucked up too.


We are all Adults ?
REALLY the dumb ass shit that some people post makes me doubt it. And Seriously, Adult finds 'rude words' an issue but thinks imply/labeling people Peados is Cool??  Or do you just think it is ok because he is labeling gays?
Intolerance/prejudice exists Because too many people are too chicken shit to call Tommy the ---- he fucking is.

Basically sums up so many of tommy's posts

Lots of homosexual peados out there... but homosexuals only make up less than 1% of population.



About a third of child sex abusers are men who target only boys...

Tommy I'm still, not really getting the point you keep labouring!
Yes, some gay men are paedophiles but not all gay men are paedophiles, just as the same goes for heterosexual men.

Yes... I agree...


But of those who are... an extremely high percentage of child abusers are homosexuals compared to their numbers in general population...



And the existence of homosexual peados has been vehemently denied in the past by dodge and others... although now dodge puts up a post with a claim that homosexual peados are a distinct reality!!!

Denied what?
Again paedophiles are paedophiles as they abuse children.
You keep making unfounded claims, where those who abuse boys are in the main not attracted to men, yet it is hetrosexuals who are attracted to both girls and women. So you then have little to fear from homosexual men in a homosexual relationship, do you not Tommy? Though then if you looked at the study which I know you have not of which is linked, it will show you those attracted to both boys and girls as well. This does not even include women who prey on children. So your views are as per usual absurd,

Waffle...

I hear Tommy went for a brain scan.....


the medics retired defeated.....



they couldnt find it..........

Because they still had the machine set  to look for the brain of the previous test subject, victor, in the little toe area...

too slow tommy...too late.....

Tommy Monk wrote:Think you need to read the op again vexa... clearly claims that there are homosexual peados!!!

If you insist on labeling pedophiles by which gender of child they prey upon ...

1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys is a victim of child sexual abuse

https://www.victimsofcrime.org/media/reporting-on-child-sexual-abuse/child-sexual-abuse-statistics

Around a third of child sex abusers are men who target only boys...

Tommy Monk wrote:Around a third of child sex victims are boys...

Corrected

Twisted more like...

No your claim is unfounded, where you seem to think there is no female child sex absuers, let alone the men who abuse both boys and girls. Hence your reasoning is utterly flawed.

Men who target only boys dodge!!!

Oh dear someone cannot read the NSPCC stats very well, it says a third of the victims are boys.
And you wonder why you are sent to the insignificant section and hence why Victor was bang on the money that if they scanned to look for your brain they would find nothing lol.

So many times I have had to correct this with you and everytime its as if you have had a memmory loss where you were shown to be in error. That is a clear case of you being delusional.
