TY - JOUR PY - 1994// TI - Sexual fantasies, gender, and molestation history JO - Child abuse and neglect A1 - Briere, J. A1 - Smiljanich, K. A1 - Henschel, D. SP - 131 EP - 137 VL - 18 IS - 2 N2 - A total of 314 university students (107 males and 207 females) completed a questionnaire examining reports of childhood sexual abuse history and extent and type of adult sexual fantasies. Multivariate main effects of gender and abuse history were found, as well as a multivariate interaction between these variables. Males had more fantasies of forcing someone to have intercourse with them, participating in an orgy, and having sex with a stranger. Subjects with histories of sexual abuse had more sexual fantasies than their nonabused peers in four of five categories. Finally, sexually abused women reported more fantasies of being sexually forced than did women without sexual abuse histories or men regardless of molestation history. In several instances, fantasies correlated with especially early and extended abuse.
