Viewing Time Behavior in a Diverse Sample of 320 Pedohebephilic and Teleiophilic Men Who Have Committed Child Sexual Offense and Who Have Not
With this study, we explored the complex interplay between sexual preference, behavior, and viewing time (VT) as an assessment tool for pedohebephilic interest by using a 2 × 2 factorial design. The design included two factors: sexual preference (pedohebephilic vs. teleiophilic) and history of child sexual abuse (with vs. without a prior child sexual offense [CSO]). A total of 320 men participated, including individuals with a sexual preference f…
Opening the Discussion on the Costs of Pedophilic Disorder as a Mental Health Concern
Despite recent advances, pedophilic disorder remains a highly stigmatized and underexplored condition. While its classification as a mental disorder is debated, we adopt this assumption provisionally to apply a cost-of-illness (COI) framework. COI studies, though methodologically limited, offer a pragmatic tool to translate individual impairment into societal costs—thus enabling health policy discussions, identifying service gaps, and supporting …
The Viewing Reaction Time as a Diagnostic Tool of Pedohebephilia in the Dunkelfeld
Diagnosing pedohebephilia is fraught with obstacles given the tabooed nature of this sexual preference. The viewing reaction time effect (VRT) provides a non-intrusive indirect measure of sexual interest in minors. In forensic populations, the ability of the difference between the latencies while viewing child and adult sexual stimuli (VRT index) to discern child sexual offenders from a range of control groups has been ascertained meta-analytical…
Physical and Psychological Child and Adult Sex Cues and Their Association with Sexual Age Preferences
This study combined research on human mate preferences and attraction to physical and psychological features of children. Specifically, we used the Ideals Standards Model (ISM) as a conceptual framework to investigate the sexual relevance of adult and child sex cues within the general population. A sample of 589 men (mean age 30.6 years, SD = 16.6) answered questions about their sexual age preferences as well as different child and adult sex cues…

An Exploratory Study on the Central Nervous Correlates of Sexual Excitation and Sexual Inhibition
The Sexual Inhibition/Sexual Excitation Scales (SIS/SES) measure sexual excitation and sexual inhibition proneness. We used SIS and SES scores of 62 heterosexual teleiophilic men ( M age 34.3, SD = 9.9) to predict brain activation levels during the presentation of male and female visual sexual stimuli in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. Statistical analyses revealed significant correlations. SES and SIS1 scores were positively associat…
