Wouldn’t say so, you still kinda need gay tendencies to find a kink in your taboo that is himusexuality itself.
Comment on is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal

I could also imagine that the causality is (partly) the other way around. Demonizing homosexuality makes it a taboo for them and taboos are the base for all kinds of fetishes.

I’m not a scientist, so I’m just guessing here. But looking at popular search terms on porn sites, you’ll find a lot of taboo stuff like (step-)mom, (step-)sis, poop, BDSM, gang bangs etc. But just because people find it interesting in porn, I wouldn’t argue that they necessarily want to act accordingly in real life, bang their relatives etc.
Some time back I also read an article somewhere (sorry no source) that taboos in porn can get somehow addictive in a way that you’re permanently looking for harder taboos.
But as said, I have no clue if that applies here or if there’s scientific evidence for/against this hypothesis.

Erection doesn’t always mean sexual arousal, so it might be anger or they were extremely religious guys that don’t watch porn or have sex for anything but recreation and so on.
