The prevalence of sexual aggression was examined in a non-forensic sample of 393 university males. A history of sexually abusive behaviour was reported by 25% of respondents, with six per cent reporting an act of sexual aggresssion that met the legal definition of rape or attempted rape. The results of a discriminant analysis indicated a significant relationship between sexually abusive behaviour and attitudes supportive of sexual dominance and aggression. These findings are discussed in terms of their implications for research and primary prevention.
