Previous research for individuals with intellectual disabilities in the successful suppression of arousal has been inconsistent. There had been at least four previous studies of arousal suppression with ID prior; this study introduced new methods. The subjects were fitted with penile strain gauges and shown a series of thirty-one videos, three videos for each male and female: kindergarten, six to seven years, eight to nine years, teen, adult, and one set of adult male fishermen to serve as a neutral stimuli). The three videos for each set depicted different physical features and
