Abstract

Phallometric data are reported on 128 rapists who were classified according to the Massachusetts Treatment Center (MTC-3R) criteria. These offenders were assessed used two widely used phallometric assessments for sexual arousal to rape, the Oakridge stimulus set and the Barbaree stimulus set. It was hypothesized that those men classified as sadistic would have more deviant sexual preferences according to the Oakridge set; however, this hypothesis was not supported. Rather, it was found that sadistic offenders were deviant with both stimulus sets, while opportunistic offenders were not deviant with either. Results are discussed in terms of recent findings from other studies.
