Abstract
Storms' theory that erotic orientation results from an interaction between eroticization process onset and social development during early adolescence was tested. The constructs of eroticization process onset and homoeroticism were developed and tested in the present study. A variety of measures of eroticization process onset and homoeroticism were collected. A hypothesized model of erotic development was proposed in which the variables measuring eroticization process onset loaded on one factor, the variables measuring homoeroticism loaded on a second factor, and the factors were negatively related. This hypothesized model was found to account for the actual data better than two null models, when tested in a LISRL analysis. Sex differences in erotic orientation development were also discussed.
