How about addressing the questions I posted...

1 - How does an erection from homosexual stimuli prove a man would have sex with a man under any circumstance?

2 - How does one know without a doubt that a man sees 2 men engaging in sexual activity and said man is not visualizing himself doing the same with a woman??

3 - Can you draw an irrefutable conclusion that any man who gets an erection from homosexual stimulus is in fact homosexual??? Even if you exclude the two questions presented above??

I know this.... phallometric testing is a SEVERELY flawed measure. Just like much of the pseudo-science backing the homosexual agenda.
What 'test' did you read?

Your questions show you don't understand what phallometric testing was used for in the research I am referring to. Most of the research has been done with convicted sex offenders.

Voluntary control of penile tumescence among homosexual and heterosexual subjects.
Adams HE, Motsinger P, McAnulty RD, Moore AL.
Arch Sex Behav. 1992 Feb;21(1):17-31.


Abstract
"Voluntary control of erectile responses represents a major threat to the validity of penile plethysmography. This study was designed to determine whether individuals can mimic a sexual orientation that differs from their actual sexual orientation. Since the presumed mechanism underlying voluntary control of penile tumescence involves a shift in attentional focus, a recall test was employed to assess the relationship between the ability to influence erectile responses and recall of critical test stimuli. Homosexual and heterosexual subjects were exposed to sexual materials under standard and "faking" instructions.

The faking instructions consisted of asking subjects to suppress erectile responses to preferred stimuli and to enhance penile tumescence in the presence of nonpreferred stimuli. Across groups, results revealed some degree of suppression of erections but no significant enhancement of erections.

Self-reported cognitive arousal under both conditions was consistent with erectile data. However, subjects' perceived control over erectile responses tended to be greater than their actual performance. No significant differences in recall were obtained. The recall procedure appears to interfere with subjects' ability to control erectile responses. Implications for clinical applications of penile plethysmography are summarized with suggestions for future research."

The level of misinformation, denial and ignorance on this thread about child sexual abuse is a good example of why child molestors so often get away with their crimes, and why so many children still get abused every year.
