ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to report the aggressive sexual behaviour of alcohol dependent men and its implications on clinical practice. A total of thirty women of male alcohol dependent partners were taken from the psychiatric clinic and matched with a control group of spouses of healthy non-drinking men for the variables of age, gender, ethnicity and social class. These groups were tested for sexually induced marks over a one month period, areas of the body that were marked, duration of the body marks and love making experiences. Our findings indicate that the spouses of alcohol dependent men are subjected to more aggressive and painful sexual experiences, more body marks in more regions that lasted an average of 7 days and more biting of body surfaces than wives of non-alcohol dependent men. These behaviours are interpreted as subtle signs of domestic violence which should not be ignored in clinical practice.
