The present study tested the possibility that more males than females have positive feelings about child sexual abuse and/or regard the experience as inconsequential because their abuse is less serious (i.e., less invasive) due perhaps to the lesser incidence of incestuous abuse in males. College students who self-reported child sexual abuse on an anonymous sex survey and who described the nature of their abuse were compared on two measures of severity of abuse: (1) the objective severity of what they said happened and (2) the subjective amount of stress they felt at the time it occurred and now. Results affirmed that males were more likely than females to report retrospectively having liked the child sexual abuse (28% vs. 5%), and absolutely more males than females reported having experienced no stress from the abuse in the past or now (21% vs. 7%). As expected, incestuous child sexual abuse was objectively more severe than non-incestuous abuse, and there was a much greater incidence of incestuous abuse of females. Unexpectedly, however, the abuse of males was not significantly less severe than the abuse of females, whether measured objectively or subjectively.In spite of the greater severity of incestuous child sexual abuse and its greater incidence in females, female victims subjectively rated incestuous abuse as less stressful than non-incestuous abuse, while males rated it more stressful. Because incestuous abuse of females was exclusively heterosexual, and 2 out of 3 cases of incestuous abuse of males was homosexual, females may defensively diminish the impact of incestuous abuse by older male relatives, while males are less able to use this defense, because their incestuous abuse is mostly homosexual.

Biological and stepfathers who committed incestuous acts on their daughters were compared on sexual history and preference and on personality, using the Phallometric Test of Erotic Preference (Freund & Blanchard, 1989), the Clarke Sex History Questionnaire (Langevin, et al, 1990), and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). The cases were drawn from a data base of 200 incest offenders seen for psychological assessment. Results showed that the two groups of fathers did not differ significantly in their penile responses to pictures of men, women, boys, and girls, and most showed largest responses to adult females. However a significant percentage of both groups showed largest responses to children, indicating pedophilia. Although there was considerable individual variation in sexual history, offenders in both groups had most of their sexual experiences with adult females. Experiences with males were infrequent and limited to adults. The two groups showed few differences in personality. Nevertheless substantial numbers of offenders in both groups showed anxiety, disturbed family background and confused thinking. The results overall showed few differences between incestuous biological and stepfathers in sexual history and preferences and in personality. Similar dynamics appear operative in the two groups, i.e., pedophilia, limited sexual history, and personality pathology are present in selected cases. Possible group differences in other factors prominent in sexual offenders, e.g., substance abuse or neuropsychological impairment, have yet to be examined.
采用情色偏好的性取向测试(Freund & Blanchard, 1989)、Clarke性史问卷(Langevin, et al, 1990)和明尼苏达多相人格量表(MMPI),比较对其女儿实施乱伦行为的亲生父亲和继父的性史、性偏好和个性。这些案例是从一个数据库中挑选出来的,该数据库包含200名被用于心理评估的乱伦罪犯。结果显示,两组父亲对男性、女性、男孩和女孩图片的阴茎反应没有显著差异,大多数父亲对成年女性的反应最大。然而,两组中都有很大比例的人对儿童的反应最大,这表明他们有恋童癖。尽管在性史上存在相当大的个体差异,但两组罪犯的性经历大多是与成年女性发生的。与男性的接触很少,而且仅限于成年人。这两组人在性格上几乎没有什么不同。然而,两组中都有相当数量的罪犯表现出焦虑、家庭背景混乱和思维混乱。结果显示,乱伦的亲生父亲和继父在性史、性偏好和个性方面几乎没有差别。在这两组中出现了相似的动态,即在某些病例中存在恋童癖、性史有限和人格病理学。在性犯罪者的其他突出因素上可能存在的群体差异,例如药物滥用或神经心理障碍,还有待研究。

Within a population of 5132 sexual offenders referred to an outpatient sexual abuse clinic, the first 100 cases receiving Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (MPA) as a long-acting intramuscular injection were retrospectively reviewed and compared to a matching cohort which did not receive the drug. MPA appeared to be a safe and effective short-term supplement to an ongoing treatment program emphasizing behavioral, cognitive, group, and family therapy approaches. Data indicate no interference with concurrent treatment approaches and no irreversible side-effects, although caution is advised regarding prolonged use of this medicine, as long term effects of MPA were not examined.These findings also help in defining the characteristics of sexual offenders who are most likely to need, and to benefit from, MPA. Those with histories of hypersexuality, poor sexual impulse control, developmental disabilities, aggressive sexuality, homosexual pedophilia, multiple paraphilias, and predatory patterns of inappropriate sexual behavior merit consideration for MPA. However, the drug should be employed as an aid, particularly early in therapy, rather than as a treatment by itself.Findings are offered with the caution that data collection and statistical analyses were relatively unsophisticated. Recommendations for further investigation are offered.

Indices of cardiovascular function were measured in seven men while they masturbated to ejaculation. Cardiac electrical activity, respiration, finger pulse, and anal contractions were monitored. Orgasm was determined by the onset of anal contractions. While there were marked individual differences, reliable changes were observed in heart rate, pulse transit time, pulse amplitude, and pulse rise velocity during masturbation. In addition, we were able to identify specific changes in some of these measures during the few seconds prior to the onset of anal contractions, during these contractions, and after their termination. Based upon these observations, we propose a characterization of the autonomic activity associated with sexual arousal and orgasm in men which differs from that currently provided in the literature. Specifically, we propose that the critical autonomic event associated with orgasm is an acute increase in parasympathetic activity in the presence of elevated sympathetic tone.

Defensiveness in sex offenders (DISO), although a very common phenomenon, is poorly understood by clinicians. Three explanatory models of DISO are explored. Thepathogenic model postulates from a psychodynamic perspective massive repression and denial are operative in the service of ego functions. Thecriminogenic model associates deception with the antisocial characteristics of sex offenders. Theadaptational model assumes that the sex offender is faced with a highly adversarial setting and chooses defensiveness based on its expected utility. Models of malingering are compared and implications of DISO for clinical treatment and management are discussed.

Two separate investigations were conducted to develop an objective self-report instrument, the Sexual Awareness Questionnaire (SAQ), designed to measure four personality tendencies associated with sexual awareness and sexual assertiveness: sexual-consciousness (attention to internal private sexual cues), sexual-monitoring (sensitivity to others' evaluation of one's sexuality), sexual-assertiveness (self-reliance in sexual decision making), and sex appeal-consciousness (awareness of one's own public sexiness). Factor and reliability analyses from both studies confirmed the factorial validity and reliability of the Sexual Awareness Questionnaire. Other results provided evidence supporting the convergent and discriminant validity of the SAQ. All four SAQ subscales tended to be negatively related to measures of sex-anxiety and sex-guilt for both males and females, and sexual-consciousness was directly related to erotophilic feelings. Other findings indicated that men's and women's responses to the four SAQ subscales were related in a predictable fashion to their sexual attitudes, dispositions, and behaviors. Research and clinical applications are discussed.

Work on the long-term mental health sequels of child sexual abuse in Britain and Canada, in relation to family context, is reviewed. It is argued that the Canadian data show that sexual abuse in childhood is quite prevalent for both males and females, and is particularly prevalent in dysfunctional families. Such abuse often has a negative impact on self-esteem, and increases depression, suicidal feelings and behavior, and poor mental health. Further cross-cultural work in this field is proposed.

The rationale for dividing the clinical spectrum of DSM-III-R male heterosexual gender identity disorder into three types was examined. The DSM-III-R category of fetishism for female attire, was included in the analysis. There were 266 male participants divided into three groups: 172 fetishists for female attire or gender identity patients, 52 androphiles, and 42 gynephiles. A 16 item questionnaire was used to examine the groups. A three factor scale ("Fetishism", "Gender Dysphoria" and "Androphilia") was derived from the questionnaire. Only the Gender Dysphoria Factor Scale successfully differentiated between all four conditions, supporting the notion that the three types of gender identity disorder represent a continuum of degree of severity of gender dysphoria. Defining two of the three types of gender identity disorder in terms of the patients' self-reports on fetishism, as DSM-III-R does, is therefore unnecessary.

Eighteen men were instructed to fake penile responses to discrete sexual stimuli presented auditorily or visually. The same stimuli were presented a second time following instruction on faking. Sexual responses were monitored using a penile plethysmograph (PPG). Further physiological response measures to detect faking attempts included the Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) and respiration (RESP). Faking attempts were found to be more successful to audio than visual stimuli, especially if the stimuli were relatively weaker. Arousal was much more difficult to fake than suppression. The more intense the efforts to fake, and especially following faking instructions, the more transparent the faking efforts. GSR and RESP added measurably to the detection of faked PPG responses which would have appeared otherwise to be genuine responses.
