Deviant sexual interests such as pedophilia (interest in prepubescent children), biastophilia (interest in forced sex), and peo-deiktophilia (interest in exposing one's penis to strangers) are important to consider in the assessment and treatment of male sex offenders. Phallometry, the measurement of erectile responses to sexual stimuli, is the best available measure of male sexual interests. This article summarizes the research on the discriminative and predictive validity of phallometrically-measured sexual interests, discusses common professional or ethical objections to the clinical use of phallometry, and comments on the advantages and disadvantages of two alternative measures (visual reaction time and sexual offense history scales). |
