<DIV><FONT size=4>Joan,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Thank you for this bit of research. This is not the only
time this experiment has been conducted -- with the same results.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>If you remember we have pointed out that many of the loudest
homophobes in the CCC, and especially Cultmaster salivating Douglas Wilson
himself, fit very handily the profile of those suffering from
reaction-formation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>The therapy for this is simple. However, in view of the
HIV problem in Moscow, prudent precautions should be taken. Perhaps they
could "keep it in the cult" to avoid public exposure.</FONT></DIV>

other night that mentioned a test conducted some years ago by psychologists at
the University of Georgia. A group of young college men was divided into two
groups: homophobes and those comfortable with their own (heterosexual)
orientation. The young men were ushered, individually, into a room where each
sat in a comfy recliner and watched gay porn with a "penile function" meter
attached to his John Thomas. The result? The self-identified homophobes
registered physical arousal when shown images of men engaged in gay sex. The
non-homophobes registered nothing. What was equally interesting was that
despite the physical evidence to the contrary, the homophobes steadfastly
denied that they had had any reaction other than revulsion to the gay scenes
they had watched.<BR><BR>Now, I want to make it clear that I absolutely <B>do

Hoover in my club. I would much prefer that all GLBT people (or those below 5
on the Kinsey scale) were marvelously self-accepting and well-adjusted.
Unfortunately, the University of Georgia is against me, and it would seem that
those who negatively obsess about what gay men and lesbians do in bed are
often sad, latent, and repressed individuals who could do with an
understanding, kind, and patient therapist.<BR><BR>And that's one of the many
