The penile circumference responses of 44 rapists to audiotaped narratives describing neutral heterosocial interactions, consenting sex, rape, and nonsexual violence towards women were related to ratings of the amount of physical damage to the rape victims as described in the offenders' police reports.
Abstract
A ratio formed for each rapist by dividing the average penile response to nonsexual violence narratives by the average response to consenting sex was significantly related to whether or not the rapists had seriously injured their victims. (Publisher abstract)
