Plethysmograph measures sexual arousal

Sexual Health

Robert Stacy McCain in The Washington Times:

The critics' latest target of outrage: $26,000 in federal funds for a conference on sexual arousal next month at the Kinsey Institute in Bloomington, Ind. ... "If this conference needs funding, they ought to hit up [pornographer] Larry Flynt, not taxpayers," said Rep. Jeff Flake, Arizona Republican. ... It was a $147,000 NIH grant for a Bailey project — paying women to view pornography while using an instrument called a plethysmograph to measure their sexual responses — that prompted 20 Republican members of Congress to sign a letter to the agency's director, demanding an explanation for what they called "a bizarre spending decision."

Lawmakers assail NIH funding for sexual-arousal conference

Comments

The Congressmen are right to question the spending of tax payer's money on measuring women's sexual arousal to pronography. Few women are aroused by looking at pronography. They are not visually orientated. What does arouse women sexually is money, men with power, extravegant living and men that are easily controlled by women. Since the advent of sin, by Eve, in the Garden of Eden, women have been controlling men with sex; usually by witholding their sexual favors. Something, that as a Jew, I believe in, is that women must be deciplined, by men, to behave properly. The Moslem Koran says that women should be beaten daily, to keep them from blaspheming against God and the Koran. I would not go this far; but women should not be allowed to use sex as a weapon to control men. A married man has the right to demand sex from his wife when ever he so desires. It is God's law.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Plethysmograph measures sexual arousal. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
