Kobe vs. The Plethysmograph

Iron Chef

I saw an interview on CNN today with a Colorado defense attorney discussing the scenario if Kobe is found guilty and sentenced.

Part of the parole requirement for some sex offenders in Colorado is regular testing with a plethysmograph to "test the levels of deviant arousal.."

A test result that displeases the parole board, while certainly not admissable in a court of law, is sufficent reason to deny or recind parole...

Here is a link to a page describing the device in question and its function.

Here are the good parts from that page:

The penile plethysmograph (PPG) is a machine for measuring changes in the circumference of the penis. A stretchable band with mercury in it is fitted around the subject's penis. The band is connected to a machine with a video screen and data recorder. Any changes in penis size, even those not felt by the subject, are recorded while the subject views sexually suggestive or pornographic pictures, slides, or movies, or listens to audio tapes with descriptions of such things as children being molested

The plethysmograph . . . directly measures the outside evidence of sexual arousal. We know-- it's established throughout the literature that when a man becomes sexually aroused--there is engorgement of the penis. It's a one-to-one relationship.

In a polygraph, galvanic skin responses are measured, and we have to make a leap of logic to think that galvanic skin response is related to anxiety, and therefore truthfulness. And it is that jump in logic that leads to a lack of reliability at times with that instrument . . . .

We know when the penis becomes engorged, we are measuring sexual arousal. So it's much more akin to ... blood pressure measurement.

i'd be screwed if i had to take that test :/

wtf i'm not supposed to get a stiffy listening/watching that porno shit?
 
They used that to find out that men are aroused during gay porno. The uptight assholes/wifebeaters/homophobes are the most aroused.

I'm pretty sure the thought of pedophilia would be enough to make mine stay down.

yeah but then they switch to jenna jameson (or ur favorite pornstar X) and ur like "whoa sweet" and then they go back to pedo and ur still hard and they lock u up for life.

or they play a tape of panting and moaning and as u start enjoying it they go

"and that's a 15 year old girl you sick sick fucker. take him away!"
