We compared the relationship between maladaptive sexual beliefs and sexual perpetration. Hostile beliefs about sex was the best single predictor of sexual aggression in the last year, and hostile beliefs about sex and the desire to dominate others were the best predictors for lifetime sexual perpetration.
