Penile volume and galvanic skin responses to nude female and male film sequences were studied in 10 transsexual patients, 44 patients requesting treatment for homosexual impulses, and 60 heterosexual students. Student controls and homosexuals showed significantly greater galvanic skin responses to the preferred than to the nonpreferred sex. Transsexuals tended to show larger galvanic skin responses to females than did male homosexuals. No strong relationships were found between penile volume and galvanic skin response to the preferred sex. It is concluded that transsexual patients differ significantly from homosexual patients in autonomic responsivity, which may have diagnostic usefulness.
对10名变性患者、44名因同性恋冲动寻求治疗的患者以及60名异性恋学生，研究了阴茎体积以及对裸体男女影片片段的皮肤电反应。学生对照组和同性恋者对偏好性别的皮肤电反应明显大于对非偏好性别的反应。变性者对女性的皮肤电反应往往比男性同性恋者更大。未发现阴茎体积与对偏好性别的皮肤电反应之间有强烈关联。得出的结论是，变性患者在自主反应性方面与同性恋患者有显著差异，这可能具有诊断价值。
