This paper examines Kluft's construct of "weaponized sex" through the prism of long-term clinical and research involvement with individuals subjected to ongoing sexual abuse during adulthood, a group that by definition has been exposed to more sexual abuse and for longer than any other defined victim population. Examples of the same sort of phenomena described by Kluft are repeatedly observed in therapy with members of this population, but usually not in a dramatic form. As might be anticipated, in order to survive, when an individual is closely attached to a long-term and extreme abuser, the sort of enduring ambivalence carried by the victim towards their primary abuser is manifested in compartmentalized states that wish their abuser dead, while other states in equally compartmentalized ways maintain the attachment via the use of sex-by continuing to be sexually involved with their primary abuser (usually their father), by fantasizing about sex with their abuser, by being sexually involved with those who co-abused with their father, or by staging reenactments with individuals whose sexual behavior re-evokes the abuse by the absent (or deceased) father. The process of healing means that inevitably some manifestations of the responses to such abuse spill over into therapy.
本文通过长期临床和研究介入成年期遭受持续性性虐待个体的视角，审视了克卢夫特提出的“武器化性”概念。从定义上来说，这一群体遭受性虐待的时间比其他任何明确的受害人群体都更长、更频繁。在对这一群体成员的治疗过程中，克卢夫特所描述的同类现象屡见不鲜，但通常并非以戏剧性的形式呈现。不出所料，为了生存，当一个人与长期且极端的施虐者紧密相连时，受害者对主要施虐者所怀有的那种持久的矛盾心理，会以一种分隔状态表现出来：一方面，某些状态希望施虐者死去；而另一方面，同样处于分隔状态的其他状态则通过性行为来维系这种依恋关系——继续与主要施虐者（通常是其父亲）发生性关系、幻想与施虐者发生性行为、与和其父亲共同施虐的人发生性关系，或者与性行为能再次唤起不在场（或已去世）父亲虐待行为的人进行重演。治愈的过程意味着，对这种虐待的反应的某些表现不可避免地会在治疗中显现出来。
