In many different cultures, some men express sexual interest in male-to-feminine (MtF) transgender individuals, but others do not. We examined whether, in Samoa, men who are sexually interested in fa'afafine (Samoan MtF transgender individuals) (MSF; N = 40) differed from men who were exclusively sexually interested in women (MSW; N = 41) in terms of their self-reported sexual attraction and viewing times responses to images of MtF transgender individuals who were feminine (e.g., had feminine hairstyles, makeup) but had not undergone gender-affirming surgeries (e.g., breast augmentation), cisgender women, and cisgender men. MSF reported that images of MtF transgender individuals were sexually attractive, although somewhat less attractive than images of cisgender women. In contrast, MSW reported that images of cisgender women were sexually attractive, but images of MtF transgender individuals were not. The groups did not differ in their sexual attraction ratings of men, which were uniformly low. MSF viewed MtF transgender individuals and cisgender women for a similar length of time and viewed both longer than cisgender men. In contrast, MSW viewed cisgender women longer than MtF transgender individuals and they viewed MtF transgender individuals longer than cisgender men. The present study indicates that responses to MtF transgender individuals vary among Samoan men who share a sexual preference for women.
在许多不同的文化中,一些男性对男性到女性(MtF)跨性别者表现出性兴趣,但也有一些男性没有。我们研究了在萨摩亚,对 fa'afafine(萨摩亚 MtF 跨性别者)(MSF;N=40)有性兴趣的男性与仅对女性有性兴趣的男性(MSW;N=41)是否在性吸引力和观看时间方面存在差异,这些男性对有女性化特征(例如,有女性化的发型、化妆)但没有接受过性别肯定手术(例如,乳房增大)的 MtF 跨性别者、顺性别女性和顺性别男性的图像。MSF 报告称,MtF 跨性别者的图像具有性吸引力,尽管不如顺性别女性的图像有吸引力。相比之下,MSW 报告称顺性别女性的图像具有性吸引力,但 MtF 跨性别者的图像没有。两组在对男性的性吸引力评价上没有差异,男性的评价普遍较低。MSF 对 MtF 跨性别者和顺性别女性的观看时间相似,都比顺性别男性观看时间长。相比之下,MSW 对顺性别女性的观看时间长于 MtF 跨性别者,对 MtF 跨性别者的观看时间长于顺性别男性。本研究表明,对 MtF 跨性别者的反应在对女性有性偏好的萨摩亚男性中存在差异。
