TY - JOUR PY - 1991// TI - History of child sexual abuse and adult sexual fantasies JO - Violence and victims A1 - Gold, S. R. SP - 75 EP - 82 VL - 6 IS - 1 N2 - The study investigated the hypothesis that women with a history of childhood sexual abuse would report different sexual fantasies from women with no childhood sexual abuse. Women with a history of abuse had more force in their fantasies, had more sexually explicit fantasies, began having sexual fantasies at a younger age, and had more fantasies with the theme of being under someone's control. Women with a history of childhood physical abuse did not have a similar pattern. It was suggested that the sexual fantasies may reflect the sexualizing effect of childhood sexual experiences and that fantasies of the abusive experience may become intrusive.
