Survey Eyes Characteristics of Sexually Abusive Adolescents


 

I took baths or showers with my sexual abuser.

The abuser put their tongue in my mouth.

The abuser was a relative living in my house.

I was molested by more than one person.

For females, fewer factors were identified, perhaps because there were fewer subjects. They are, in order by P value:

I was less than 9 years old when sexually abused.

I was touched by a woman.

Sometimes when my girlfriend or boyfriend rubs my chest, I have flashbacks of when I was abused.

Sometimes I got a strong sexual feeling between my legs when I was being sexually abused.
