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.
One of the best indicators of men's involuntary sexual arousal in response to images is ''phallometry'' which consists in measuring penile tumescence. Multiple studies have been done to assess the male arousal profile in response to erotic stimuli featuring females of various ages.


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.
One of the first such studies by 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 in three age groups: children (4-10 yrs), adolescents (12-16 yrs) and adults (17-36 yrs).


This result has since been replicated many times over the following decades. 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'.
The strongest penile response was found for adult and adolescent females without significant difference between the two groups. 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.

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.

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.

Similarly, Becker-Blease et al. (2006) found in a sample of N = 531 undergraduate men that approximately 18% report having fantasized in the last 12 months about perpetrating child sexual abuse (e.g. "how often have you had fantasies about sex with a child?") and 8% had masturbated to these fantasies. 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.

The scientific consensus is that arousal by child pornography is not necessarily indicative of the paraphilia to be attracted to females far under the legal age of consent, and indeed, such arousal is ''normal''.

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.

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, men may have evolved to monopolize women at early to assure sexual exclusivity. Alternatively or additionally, men may also have evolved to 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). Entire families have an interest in choosing submissive women as partners for their male offspring and relatives for paternity assurance. Cross-culturally, one can observe that both men and their mothers [[female subordination|heavily limit women's reproductive freedom]]. Gowaty (1992, 231-40) writes:
