以前的研究已经确定了儿童期性虐待与成年后从事卖淫之间的联系。这项研究的目的是通过探索成年后被强奸是否与金钱交换有关来扩展这一文献。对一个大都市地区的102名强奸幸存者进行的访谈显示，23.5%的人在强奸后从事卖淫。那些以性换取金钱的人更有可能是有色人种女性，受过高中或更低的教育，失业，有孩子要抚养，而不是那些在袭击后没有从事卖淫的人。卖淫子样本也有显着更高的水平的心理困扰，身体健康和物质使用。幸存者被问及强奸是否与卖淫有关以及如何与卖淫有关：大多数人（75%）说，他们认为这与袭击有关。这些幸存者从事卖淫最常提到的原因是，她们试图重新获得对自己生活和身体的某种控制权;以性换取金钱被视为控制男子接近她们的一种方式。对今后的研究受害和卖淫的影响进行了讨论。
Previous research has established a link between childhood sexual abuse and engaging in prostitution as an adult. The purpose of this study was to extend this literature by exploring whether being raped as an adult is associated with exchanging sex for money. Interviews with 102 rape survivors in a major metropolitan area revealed that 23.5% had engaged in prostitution post-rape. Those who had exchanged sex for money were more likely to be women of color, to have a high school education or less, to be unemployed, and to have children to support, than those who had not engaged in prostitution post-assault. The prostitution subsample also had significantly higher levels of psychological distress, physical health symptomatology, and substance use. Survivors were asked whether and how the rape was associated with engaging in prostitution: most (75%) stated that they felt it was related to the assault. The most commonly cited reason for engaging in prostitution by these survivors was that they were trying to regain some control over their lives and their bodies; exchanging sex for money was seen as one way to control men's access to them. Implications for future research on victimization and prostitution are discussed.
