In this study I investigated the relation between normal heterosexual attraction and autogynephilia (a man's propensity to be sexually aroused by the thought or image of himself as a woman). The subjects were 427 adult male outpatients who reported histories of dressing in women's garments, of feeling like women, or both. The data were questionnaire measures of autogynephilia, heterosexual interest, and other psychosexual variables. As predicted, the highest levels of autogynephilia were observed at intermediate rather than high levels of heterosexual interest; that is, the function relating these variables took the form of an inverted U. This finding supports the hypothesis that autogynephilia is a misdirected type of heterosexual impulse, which arises in association with normal heterosexuality but also competes with it.
在本研究中，我调查了正常异性恋吸引力与自体性欲亢进（男性因将自己想象成女性的想法或形象而产生性唤起的倾向）之间的关系。研究对象为427名成年男性门诊患者，他们均报告有穿着女装、感觉自己像女性或两者皆有的经历。数据是通过问卷调查对自体性欲亢进、异性恋兴趣及其他性心理变量进行测量所得。正如所预测的那样，自体性欲亢进的最高水平出现在异性恋兴趣处于中等而非高水平时；也就是说，这些变量之间的函数关系呈倒U形。这一发现支持了以下假设：自体性欲亢进是一种被误导的异性恋冲动类型，它与正常异性恋相关联地产生，但也与之相互竞争。
