This is the first book to examine the relationship between sexual and psychological functioning in terms of its effects on patterns of sexual practice over the lifespan. The authors explore: the impact of both voluntary and involuntary sexual experiences in childhood on adolescent sexual activities; the consequences of childhood and adolescent sexual experiences on women's sexual behaviour in adulthood; and the influence of adult sexual abuse.
