Attempts to downplay the sexual component of sexual assault may actually result in an injustice to sexual assault survivors as it may desensitize professionals working with sexual assault survivors to the possible development of sexual problems. Of 371 sexual assault survivors evaluated, more than 40% reported that they were experiencing sexual problems as a result of their assaults. In addition, these assault-related sexual problems can be chronic, enduring for many years. The need to screen for and provide treatment when necessary for such sexual problems is apparent.
淡化性侵犯中性方面的因素，实际上可能对性侵犯幸存者造成不公，因为这可能会使为性侵犯幸存者提供服务的专业人员对性问题的可能发展变得麻木不仁。在接受评估的371名性侵犯幸存者中，超过40%的人报告称他们正因遭受侵犯而出现性问题。此外，这些与侵犯相关的性问题可能是慢性的，会持续多年。显然有必要筛查此类性问题，并在必要时提供治疗。
