		The penile plethysmograph has value in screening organic versus psychogenic erectile dysfunction.
		The penile plethysmograph is not intended to be used as a guilt or innocence tool, but rather as a supplemental device to add to a complete psychosexual evaluation.

	Plethysmograph - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A plethysmograph is an instrument for measuring changes in volume within an organ or whole body (usually resulting from fluctuations in the amount of blood or air it contains).
		Although some researchers use this device to assess sexual arousal and sexual orientation, the data are not generally considered scientifically reliable and are usually not admissible in court cases in the United States.
		An approximate female equivalent to penile plethysmography is vaginal photoplethysmography.

		Penile plethysmography is a test utilized to make subjective determinations about an individual's psychological condition with regard to certain sexual disorders and deviant behavior in the male.
		If use of penile plethysmography is to be translated into the admission of expert witness testimony in criminal cases, the reliability and validity of its use is at the heart of the admissibility issue.
		Although researchers and clinicians seem to be evenly split on their view of the reliability of penile plethysmography, the dispute seems to center less on the role that the technique should play in the assessment of sex offenders and more on a simple contention that limitations do exist which warrant caution in its use.

	Psychological Testing
		The penile plethysmograph is a technique which attempts to measure sexual arousal by recording the penile responses during the presentation of sexual stimuli.
		During the presentation of the stimuli, the penile responses are recorded with a volumetric or a circumferential device.
		Plethysmograph researchers claim that plethysmography can be useful in treatment, but is of limited use with known sex offenders in predicting future behavior, and is of no use in screening a normal population.

		Penile circumference changes were measured using a D. Davis mercury-in-rubber strain gauge that each subject fitted on the shaft of his penis.
		If the plethysmograph indicated that the subject's penile circumference was greater or less than 85 mm, the subject was asked to disconnect the 85 mm gauge, which the subject replaced with a gauge corresponding to his penile circumference.
		Penile tumescence raw score data were not transformed because of the lower reliability and validity of such data transformations (Hall, 1990) and because this was a descriptive study rather than a study of the discriminative validity of penile tumescence measures.

	The A-Team. Wrongly Accused Syndrome-Disordered Thinking
		Steinhauser (1989) called the plethysmograph "the most objective, reliable, and valid means for assessing deviant sexual arousal." The plethysmograph device (called a strain gauge) is a small rubber-like ring which the person places on his penis in total privacy.
		While the Plethysmograph cannot prevent the possibility of negative outcomes for sexual offenders and the community, it can certainly minimize these risks because it is one of the most reliable and valid instruments we currently have to assess patterns of sexual arousal that may be consistent with sexually abusive behavior patterns.
		The plethysmograph can serve as a direct and objective measure of sexual arousal patterns which oftentimes can help sexual offenders identify their inappropriate arousal patterns, and stop their pattern of distortions, which is a critical component of clinical treatment.

		1, 134-35 (1989) (problem with the reliability of penile plethysmograph testing is that penile response is subject to voluntary control, and the test should not be used to determine whether or not an individual has engaged in deviant behavior).
		Therefore, even giving the plethysmograph the benefit of the doubt on scientific reliability, the question whether the defendant can be classified as a pedophile has little correlation and is not probative on the issue of whether he molested children.

		If the penile plethysmograph is not a reliable indicator of sexual deviancy, it cannot serve the court's interest in determining whether unsupervised visitations with Delmas place his son at risk of sexual abuse.
