摘要：
Previous studies have demonstrated positive correlations between pathogen disgust and preference for mates with sex-typical characteristics in heterosexuals. However, evidence on correlations between pathogen-related factors and masculinity preference in homosexual men is limited. The current research extends this evidence by exploring the association between pathogen disgust (measured using the Three Domains of Disgust Scale) and masculinity preference in the domain of voice among homosexual men in China. We observed that homosexual men's preferences for lower pitched (masculine) voices in men was negatively correlated with pathogen disgust, but not with moral or sexual disgust. In other words, homosexual men who have high levels of pathogen disgust tend to prefer feminine cues in male's voices. The findings help us understand the role of pathogen disgust in mate preferences of homosexual men in China.
