*Sorry, I had to shorten the title

Am I the only person who finds this a bit disturbing? I didn't even know they were doing this.

Learn something new everyday... and this is fucking sick.

Pardon my French.

[Choban]

I believe there was a story on here about this last year.

What's to pardon when you've said it right?

I hope I read something wrong, and they aren't showing porn to kids.

The penile plethysmograph continues to be used in prisons in Canada and the United States to monitor adult sex offenders. The device was developed in the 1950s by East Bloc Cold War scientists to determine if officers refusing military service on claims they were homosexual were telling the truth.

Okay, now it all makes sense. It's covered in Witch-Hunt 101.

...that phallometric response to stimuli depicting children is the single most accurate (with 32% accuracy) method of identifying which sexual offenders will go on to commit new sexual crimes.

32% accurate, and this is the best method.
I'm guessing one of the other methods is a psychiatric evaluation.

Quote:

...and clinical experience suggests that subjects can simulate response by manipulating mental images.

If they show you porn and the gizmo says your dick doesn't twitch, you're CLINICALLY ABNORMAL.
Now how do you possibly differentiate the rest?
Witch Hunt 101 for sure.

Yeah, and they said they would stop then, I thought. But hey, lots of people on here want to show no mercy to young offenders (I'm often one of them) and want to torture and kill sex offenders (I'm not one of them, just want them locked away). So from that pov, what's wrong with catching them early?

To be clear, I'm against this practice.

I'm 100% against using it on minors, adults I could care less what they do with.

It's Stephen Harpers fault.

You're not getting bitter, are you? I liked you better in your rah rah Harper mode than this defeatist sarcasm. C'mon, the majority may be slipping away, but he'll still have the most seats in parliament, and he's become really good at manipulating it to get his way. Maybe do another prorogue if things get too hot for him with all the slime that's coming to the surface.

Worse I think they are showing child porn to kids, atleast that is what I got from the article. Idk who's dumbass idea it was to do all this. Both the parts of showing child porn to kids and hooking up meters to there dicks. Gets me wondering what kinda person thought this one up.

Are they zapping these kids? With adults they show them child porn and then zap em when they get aroused. Unlike in Clockwork Orange tho, it doesn't seem to work.

They invented it to test soldiers if they were really gay, I meant the person who's idea it was to use this on kids, by showing them child porn and hooking up electronics to there dicks to see if they may be future sexual assaulters in a failed test.
