Männer, die Sex zur Stressbewältigung nutzen, sind häufiger sexuell aggressiv. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass die zugrunde liegenden Gründe, warum eine Person sexuelle Aktivitäten ausübt, als Frühindikatoren für das Risiko von Zwangsverhalten dienen könnten.

>A new study published in The [Journal](https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00224499.2025.2593526) of Sex Research has found that men who seek sex primarily to cope with negative emotions or to affirm their self-worth may be more likely to engage in sexually aggressive behaviors. These findings suggest that the underlying reasons why a person pursues sexual activity could serve as early indicators of risk for coercive behavior.

>Sexual violence remains a significant public health challenge in the United States. Statistics indicate that a large portion of the population has experienced some form of non-consensual sexual contact. While perpetrators can be of any gender, men commit the majority of these acts, particularly against women. Consequently, scientists have sought to understand the psychological factors that drive some men to use coercion or force.

>Previous academic models have attempted to explain this behavior. One prominent theory is the Confluence Model. This model suggests that a combination of hostile attitudes toward women and a preference for “impersonal sex” leads to aggression. Impersonal sex refers to a noncommittal approach where an individual disconnects sex from emotional intimacy.

I wonder how this differs from men who might use porn or masturbation to cope with stress?
