Abstract
Binocular rivalry is a perceptual phenomenon that occurs when two different images are presented, one in either eve, in a binocular viewing device. Past studies have indicated that people's perceptual reports in a binocular situation reflect their actual feelings, affinities, and dispositions. In this study, groups of self-identified heterosexual (straight) and homosexual (gay) men served as subjects. They were presented with a series of sexually contrasted pairs of slides (heterosexual content paired with homosexual content) in a binocular device. The pictures they viewed contained specific heterosexual or homosexual visual stimuli with respect to the sexual preferences of men. It was found that perceptual reports significantly corresponded to sexual preference, with gay men reporting images of men and straight men reporting images of women.
