Gynandromorphophilia (GAMP) is sexual interest in
gynandromorphs (GAMs; colloquially, shemales). GAMs possess a combination of
male and female physical characteristics. Thus, GAMP presents a challenge to
conventional understandings of sexual orientation as sexual attraction to the
male v. female form. Speculation about GAMP men has included the ideas that
they are homosexual, heterosexual, or especially, bisexual.
We compared genital and subjective sexual arousal patterns
of GAMP men with those of heterosexual and homosexual men. We also compared
these groups on their self-ratings of sexual orientation and sexual interests.
GAMP men had arousal patterns similar to those of
heterosexual men and different from those of homosexual men. However, compared
to heterosexual men, GAMP men were relatively more aroused by GAM erotic
stimuli than by female erotic stimuli. GAMP men also scored higher than both
heterosexual and homosexual men on a measure of autogynephilia.
Results provide clear evidence that GAMP men are not
homosexual. They also indicate that GAMP men are especially likely to eroticize
the idea of being a woman.
