Abstract:
Research has revealed a significant prevalence of sexual problems in adulthood among child sexual abuse (CSA) survivors, yet many survivors do not report such difficulties. This study examined the moderator role of relationship satisfaction in the association between CSA and sexual difficulties in adulthood. Questionnaires assessing history of CSA, sexual difficulties, and relationship satisfaction were completed by 320 adults in intimate relationships. Analyses indicated that CSA survivors who were highly dissatisfied with their relationships reported more sexual difficulties than those who were satisfied with their relationships. Results highlight the importance of positive intimate relationships when working with CSA survivors.
