This study attempted to differentiate two clinical types of fetishism-fetishism proper and tranvestism-and to determine if tranvestites are truly fetishistic. The transvestites were further divided into gender-conforming and gender-noncomforming groups according to their score on a gender identity scale. These groups were compared using a self-report scale measuring fetishistic interests, and a set of questionnaire items regarding their childhood history, parental characteristics, and their emotional closeness with their parents. In addition, the penile responses of a subset of fetishists and tranvestites were recorded while they were presented with visual depictions of female and male public regions and potentially fetishistic objects (nylon stockings, female and male shoes, panties, male underwear, female and male feet). The fetishists proper and the transvestite subgroups did not differ from each other in terms of self-reported fetishistic interest or childhood and family histories. Moreover, there were no differences between these groups in their penile response to the potentially fetishistic stimulus they were most aroused by, relative to the depictions of the pubic region of their preferred gender. These results suggest that transvestites are in fact fetishistic, and that they are difficult to distinguish from fetishists proper.
本研究试图区分恋物癖的两种临床类型——真性恋物癖和异装癖——并确定异装癖者是否真的具有恋物癖倾向。根据性别认同量表的得分，异装癖者被进一步分为性别相符组和性别不符组。使用一个测量恋物癖兴趣的自我报告量表以及一组关于他们童年经历、父母特征以及与父母情感亲密度的问卷项目，对这些组进行比较。此外，在向一部分恋物癖者和异装癖者展示女性和男性公共区域的视觉描绘以及潜在的恋物对象（尼龙长袜、女鞋和男鞋、内裤、男式内衣、女性和男性的脚）时，记录他们的阴茎反应。真性恋物癖者和异装癖亚组在自我报告的恋物癖兴趣或童年及家族史方面没有差异。此外，相对于他们偏好性别的耻骨区域描绘，这些组在对最能唤起他们性欲的潜在恋物刺激的阴茎反应上也没有差异。这些结果表明，异装癖者实际上具有恋物癖倾向，并且他们很难与真性恋物癖者区分开来。
