Research on the link between childhood sexual abuse experiences (CSAE) and pedohebephilia is limited by its focus on events that the respondents rate as abusive. We asked 199 German-speaking (Study 1) and 632 English-speaking (Study 2) men with and without self-reported pedohebephilia to complete the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and scales to assess perceived non-coercive childhood sexual experiences with adults (PNCSE-A), and peers (PNCSE-P, only Study 2). A substantial number of participants with PNCSE-A disagreed with all items of the CTQ Sexual Abuse subscale (e.g., 35% and 26% of pedohebephilic men in Studies 1 and 2, 38% of teleiophilic men in Study 2). While pedohebephilic men reported more CSAE than teleiophilic men, the effects for PNCSE-A did not consistently point in the expected direction. In Study 2, conviction status for sexual offenses among pedohebephilic men was linked to higher rates of CSAE, PNCSE-A, PNCSE-P, physical neglect, and physical abuse. Pedohebephilic men in Study 2 also reported more PNCSE-P than teleiophilic men. Our results highlight the importance of assessing different (positive or neutral) perceptions of CSAE. Better controlled designs (e.g., matched case-control studies) are needed to substantiate whether and how perceived non-coercive childhood sexual experiences relate to pedohebephilia and sexual offending.
对儿童期性虐待经历（CSAE）与恋童癖之间联系的研究受到限制，因为它主要关注被调查者认为具有虐待性的事件。我们要求 199 名讲德语的（研究 1）和 632 名讲英语的（研究 2）有和没有自报告恋童癖的男性完成儿童期创伤问卷（CTQ）和评估感知非强制性儿童期与成人（PNCSE-A）和同伴（PNCSE-P，仅研究 2）发生的性经历的量表。相当一部分具有 PNCSE-A 的参与者不同意 CTQ 性虐待分量表的所有项目（例如，研究 1 和 2 中 35%和 26%的恋童癖男性，研究 2 中 38%的性欲旺盛的男性）。虽然恋童癖男性报告的 CSAE 多于性欲旺盛的男性，但 PNCSE-A 的影响并不总是朝着预期的方向发展。在研究 2 中，恋童癖男性的性犯罪定罪率与 CSAE、PNCSE-A、PNCSE-P、身体忽视和身体虐待的发生率较高有关。研究 2 中的恋童癖男性也报告了比性欲旺盛的男性更多的 PNCSE-P。我们的结果强调了评估 CSAE 的不同（积极或中性）感知的重要性。需要更好控制设计（例如，匹配的病例对照研究）来证实感知非强制性儿童期性经历与恋童癖和性犯罪之间的关系以及如何存在这种关系。
