Estimates of the incidence of sexual coercion in men's prisons are notoriously variable and fraught with conceptual and methodological problems. In 2006-2007, we conducted a computer-assisted telephone survey of a random sample of 2,018 male prisoners in New South Wales and Queensland. Of 2,626 eligible and available inmates, 76.8% consented and provided full responses. We asked about time in prison, sexual experience, attraction and (homo/bi/heterosexual) identity, attitudes, sexual contact with other inmates, reasons for having sex and practices engaged in, and about sexual coercion, including location and number of perpetrators. Most men (95.1%) identified as heterosexual. Of the total sample, 13.5% reported sexual contact with males in their lifetime: 7.8% only outside prison, 2.8% both inside and outside, and 2.7% only inside prison. Later in the interview, 144 men (7.1% of total sample) reported sexual contact with inmates in prison; the majority had few partners and no anal intercourse. Most did so for pleasure, but some for protection, i.e., to avoid assault by someone else. Before incarceration, 32.9% feared sexual assault in prison; 6.9% had been sexually threatened in prison and 2.6% had been sexually coerced ("forced or frightened into doing something sexually that [they] did not want"). Some of those coerced reported no same-sex contact. The majority of prisoners were intolerant of male-to-male sexual activity. The study achieved a high response rate and asked detailed questions to elicit reports of coercion and sex separately. Both consensual sex and sexual assault are less common than is generally believed.
对男性监狱中性胁迫发生率的估计通常存在较大差异，并且存在概念和方法学问题。2006-2007 年，我们对新南威尔士州和昆士兰州的 2018 名男性囚犯进行了一项基于计算机辅助的电话调查，调查对象是一个随机样本。在 2626 名符合条件且可接受的囚犯中，有 76.8%的人同意并提供了完整的答复。我们询问了他们在监狱中的时间、性经历、吸引力和（同性恋/双性恋/异性恋）身份、态度、与其他囚犯的性接触、发生性行为的原因和实践以及性胁迫，包括地点和施害者人数。大多数男性（95.1%）认为自己是异性恋者。在总样本中，13.5%的人报告在其一生中与男性发生过性接触：7.8%仅在监狱外，2.8%在监狱内外都有，2.7%仅在监狱内。在访谈的后期，144 名男性（总样本的 7.1%）报告在监狱中与囚犯发生过性接触；大多数人的伴侣较少，没有肛交。大多数人这样做是为了获得愉悦，但有些人是为了保护自己，即避免被其他人侵犯。入狱前，32.9%的人担心在监狱中遭受性侵犯；6.9%的人在监狱中受到性威胁，2.6%的人遭受过性胁迫（“被迫或被恐吓从事他们不想做的性行为”）。一些被胁迫的人没有报告同性接触。大多数囚犯不能容忍男性之间的性行为。该研究的回应率很高，并详细询问了胁迫和性行为的报告。自愿发生的性行为和性侵犯的情况都比普遍认为的要少。
