5. Silbert and
Pines (1981)
The experiment: Researchers interviewed 200
San Francisco prostitutes. The interviews touched on history of sexual
abuse, including rape and child sexual abuse.
The results:
-
178 of 200 prostitutes reported child sexual abuse.
-
193 of 200 prostitutes reported being raped as
adults.
-
In other words, only 7 of these 200 prostitutes had
never been raped or molested.
-
Without being asked about porn, 24% of the rape
survivors spontaneously added that their attacker had specifically cited
his porn use during the crime.
-
This was also true of 22% of the child sexual abuse
survivors.
