While intimate partner violence is now recognized as a major societal and international issue, sexual violence between partners remains understudied despite its significant prevalence rates and the specific contexts in which it occurs. The aim of this study was to analyze the links between different dimensions of sexual consent and sexual coercion experienced within intimate relationships in order to identify targets for prevention campaigns. The study was carried out during a time of transition in the sociopolitical and legislative context in Belgium linked to the implementation of a reform to the sexual criminal law, which has made the expression of sexual consent central to the qualification of sexual offenses. A total of 431 young adults (88.40% female; M_age = 22.19 years; SD_age = 1.79) were recruited from the general population through an online survey to analyze the links between attitudes and beliefs toward sexual consent, attachment style, mental health, and sexual victimization between partners. Results showed that a lack of perceived behavioral control over establishing sexual consent, as well as the avoidance of intimacy, predicted sexual victimization. The clinical implications of these findings are discussed and potential public policy responses for prevention and awareness are suggested. Future research should further investigate and conceptualize sexual consent as it relates to sexual coercion in a more representative sample from an intersectional perspective.

虽然亲密伴侣暴力现在被认为是一个重大的社会和国际问题，但伴侣之间的性暴力仍然没有得到充分研究，尽管其发生率很高并且发生的具体环境也不同。本研究的目的是分析亲密关系中性同意和性强迫不同维度之间的联系，以确定预防活动的目标。这项研究是在比利时社会政治和立法背景的转型时期进行的，该时期与性刑法改革的实施有关，该改革使性同意的表达成为性犯罪资格的核心。通过在线调查从普通人群中招募了 431 名年轻人（88.40% 女性；M _age = 22.19 岁；SD _age = 1.79），分析态度之间的联系。以及对伴侣间性同意、依恋方式、心理健康和性受害的信念。结果表明，缺乏对建立性同意的行为控制以及避免亲密关系，预示着性受害。讨论了这些发现的临床意义，并提出了预防和提高认识的潜在公共政策对策。未来的研究应该从交叉的角度进一步调查和概念化性同意，因为它与更具代表性的样本中的性强迫有关。
