Studies of male arousal often make use of phallometry which refers to measuring penile tumescence in response to the presented images and which allows objective measurement of the men's involuntary sexual arousal. Many studies have been done to assess the male arousal profile in response to erotic stimuli featuring females of various ages. | |||
One of the first major studies on this subject (Freund and Costell, 1970) involved 48 healthy young men of average age 20 enrolled in compulsory military service with no prior history of any mental or physical problems. These men underwent phallometry during the presentation of pictures of naked males and females of various ages: children 4-10 yrs, adolescents 12-16 yrs, adults 17-36 yrs. | |||
The strongest penile response overall was to adult females. However, the response to adolescent females was almost exactly as strong as the response to adult females. Furthermore, 52-58% of healthy men experienced a positive penile response indicating some level of arousal to female children. The control response to males of all ages was low. | The strongest penile response overall was to adult females.

The conclusion scientific researchers in this field have drawn is that arousal by child pornography is not necessarily indicative of the paraphilia to be attracted to females under the legal age of consent, and indeed, such arousal is likely 'normal'. | ||
Similar results have been found by Hall (1995) who examined pedophilic stimuli among N = 80 men drawn from a community sample of volunteers recruited by newspaper advertisement. He found that 20% of men self-reported some level of sexual interest in pre-pubescent female children and 26.25% exhibited strong (equal or greater than their arousal to adult female erotic stimuli) objective penile arousal to sexual stimuli that was clearly stated as depicting pre-pubescent female children. | Similar results have been found by Hall (1995) who examined pedophilic stimuli among N = 80 men drawn from a community sample of volunteers recruited by newspaper advertisement.

All of the men in the study had reported prior sexual contact with adult women, and the authors of the study noted that sexual arousal to children was not necessarily predictive of actually going on to commit child sexual abuse, as prior research had demonstrated that a large amount of child molesters do not actually exhibit a "deviant" sexual arousal pattern whatsoever (in terms of being exclusively or equally attracted to children vs adult women), when monitored. | All of the men in the study had reported prior sexual contact with adult women, and the authors of the study noted that sexual arousal to children was not necessarily predictive of actually going on to commit child sexual abuse, as prior research had demonstrated that a large amount of child molesters do not actually exhibit a "deviant" sexual arousal pattern whatsoever (in terms of being exclusively or equally attracted to children vs adult women), when monitored. | ||

Only a minority of men in the sample seemed to have any intentions of acting on these fantasies, however, 4% did indicate that they would possibly engage in sexual activity with a child if there was no risk of exposure. | ||

Many people in modern society will attempt to label any man who is sexually aroused by any female under the legal age of consent "a deviant." Scientifically, however, we can see there would be nothing deviant about any such arousal. It would in fact be completely normal. Whether any such arousal should be acted upon is a different subject altogether. Regardless, it can likely be agreed that vilifying men for simply possessing and acknowledging the natural, healthy sex drive they were born with is not helpful or productive. | Many people in modern society will attempt to label any man who is sexually aroused by any female under the legal age of consent "a deviant."

The attraction of males to [[neoteny]] may have to do with men's [[Scientific Blackpill (Supplemental)#Women_were_historically_predominantly_involved_in_cooking_and_they_never_dominated_men|natural provider role]]. Men want to minimize the risk of investing in other men's offspring (cuckoldry). Hence, they prefer juvenile, submissive and easily controllable females, resulting in women being selected for these traits. In fact, contrary to feminist anti-patriarchal views, this is not only men's preference. Historically, marriages were predominantly arranged by the parents and the marriage concerned questions of inheritance (cf. Apostolou 2019). Hence, entire families have an interest in choosing easily controllable women as partners for their male offspring and relatives. Cross-culturally, one can observe that both men and their mothers [[female subordination and submissiveness|heavily limit women's reproductive freedom]].
