Not one to draw many conclusions from (the 'Big Kink Survey' was more interesting if you know about it). The biggest problem is that "CSA" is not defined, so self-reported "CSA" equals neither AMSC nor instances of assault/non-consent. Then you have all the typical limitations of survey. Still worth visiting, and then someone in the comments, a trauma expert, is complaining about Aella's recommended book, The trauma myth, not because they dislike the book (which they haven't read, and I confess I haven't read it yet) but because MAPs like it.
