Oh boy — where even to start with this one . Use of penile plethysmography ( PPG ) , which measure your penis for arousal while viewing questionable content , is being ceased by the Canadian government . After being used on kids for 25 twelvemonth .
PPG examination , almost too obstinate to believe it was actually a government - sanctioned procedure , was employed in British Columbia as a way of interrogate tiddler sexuality offenders . A detector was strapped to a child ’s penis , monitoring bloodline period while the kid was subjected to figure of other nude minor , and audio descriptions of rape . Reread that sentence if necessary . The abstract thought — if you could even call it that — behind the exam was to discern whether a child wrongdoer was lying about his or her desires , though we have a feeling this discussion probably created far more sociopaths than it screen . As Boing Boing points out , and as any teenager can tell you , erections are n’t exactly the most objectively predictable phenomenon , refuting altogether the purpose of the test .
British Columbia ’s Minister of Children and Family Development has put an remainder to PPG after the revelation that a technician deal the trial was himself a gender wrongdoer . The point of perversion - within - perversion here are dizzying . The Canadian government will now begin an official enquiry into trauma victims among the children subjugate to PPG over the past ten — an investigation we have a feeling will not be a short one .
