Abstract
We examined the prevalence and predictors of sexual aggression between men and women in Iran. A pre-registered survey (N=530) with behaviorally specific questions showed high prevalence of heterosexual victimization and perpetration. Child sexual abuse, risky sexual behaviors, and hostile masculinity (among men) predicted higher sexual aggression among women and men.
