The association between sexual victimization history and consensual and nonconsensual rough sex: Findings from a U.S. Nationally Representative Survey.
Engagement in rough sex is associated with sexual victimization history, pointing to the potential for vulnerability and exploitation within rough sex. Additionally, these results speak to the need to assess for experiences of nonconsensual rough sex, and they provide some preliminary evidence for the validity of a single item that could be added to existing victimization measures.
