There is substantial evidence that women experience unwanted sex under nonviolent duress from partners. This study examined the relationship between coercive control and sexual coercion in heterosexual couples. Among a sample of 136 men arrested for domestic violence, extent of coercive control was used to predict the likelihood of using eight specific sexual coercion tactics. Findings indicated that coercive control predicted significantly greater likelihood of using covert tactics, but not physically violent or overtly aggressive tactics. The tactics that demonstrated the strongest relationship with coercive control seem indicative of a toxic relational environment that may subtly erode victim autonomy and sense of self over time. Implications discuss how use of more covert and insidious tactics maintain invisibility, isolation, blame, and perceived complicitness of victims in clinical, legal, and social settings.
有大量证据表明，女性在伴侣非暴力胁迫下会经历不情愿的性行为。本研究考察了异性伴侣中强制性控制与性胁迫之间的关系。在因家庭暴力被捕的 136 名男性样本中，使用强制性控制程度来预测使用八种特定性胁迫策略的可能性。研究结果表明，强制性控制显著增加了使用隐蔽策略的可能性，但不会增加使用身体暴力或公开攻击策略的可能性。与强制性控制关系最密切的策略似乎表明存在有毒的关系环境，这种环境可能会随着时间的推移逐渐侵蚀受害者的自主权和自我意识。研究结果还讨论了在临床、法律和社会环境中，使用更隐蔽和阴险的策略如何保持受害者的隐形、孤立、指责和看似共谋的现象。
