Abstract

The authors examined by questionnaire the prevalence and the possible relationship of childhood sexual abuse and dysfunctional family background to the later sexual dysfunctions in a nonclinical male and female student sample. Of the 202 females, 44 (21.8%) reported a narrowly defined childhood sexual abuse, of the 301 men who completed the questionnaires 29 (9.6%) reported any kind of a sexually abusive experience, and 17 (5.6%) were victims of a marked childhood sexual victimization. 66 (32.6%) females and 79 (26%) males reported an adverse family background. Long-lasting adverse familial relationship to attachment figures were significant to later sexual dysfunctions in both sexes. Women, who reported repeated childhood sexual abuse, reported significantly more frequently sexual desire disorder and orgasm disorder. However, males who experienced-in most cases single-childhood sexual abuse, showed not more frequently sexual dysfunctions than nonvictims.
