The current rapid review searched for studies that reported on CSA and sexual fantasies through PubMed, PsycInfo, and Violence &amp; Abuse Abstracts databases. Included in the review were empirical studies involving a population of adults who experienced CSA before the age of 18 and which reported on survivors\u2019 sexual fantasies. The impact of CSA on adult sexual fantasies was found across three main dimensions: prevalence of sexual fantasies, content, and appraisal of the fantasies. Overall, 13 studies that addressed the sexual fantasies of survivors of CSA were identified. This review found an association between CSA and adult sexual fantasies, indicating that survivors of CSA are more likely to report: unrestricted sexual fantasies, more atypical sexual fantasies, more sexual fantasies that involve force, and more fantasies that include elements of sadomasochism, submissiveness, and dominance. Survivors of CSA also begin having sexual fantasies at a significantly earlier age and report their sexual fantasies as being significantly more intrusive than do nonabused subjects. When treating CSA survivors, therapists should acknowledge that a history of CSA can impact the survivors\u2019 sexual fantasies. Further studies with adult survivors of CSA are needed to determine how these sexual fantasies develop subsequent to the abuse, how they are perceived by survivors, and what their effect is on survivors\u2019 and their partners\u2019 sexual health, function, and satisfaction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/15248380211030487","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,7]],"date-time":"2021-07-07T05:29:54Z","timestamp":1625635794000},"page":"441-453","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["The Sexual Fantasies of Childhood Sexual Abuse Survivors: A Rapid Review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8221-9425","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ateret","family":"Gewirtz-Meydan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Social Work, University of Haifa, Mount Carmel, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eugenia","family":"Opuda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health and Human Services Librarian, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-15248380211030487","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chiabu.2016.11.023"},{"key":"bibr2-15248380211030487","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.sexol.2019.07.002"},{"key":"bibr3-15248380211030487","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/0092623X.2020.1814917"},{"key":"bibr4-15248380211030487","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10538712.2015.1042184"},{"key":"bibr5-15248380211030487","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10538712.2020.1825148"},{"key":"bibr6-15248380211030487","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0146167211410986"},{"key":"bibr7-15248380211030487","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00224490802624406"},{"key":"bibr8-15248380211030487","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10508-012-9934-6"},{"key":"bibr9-15248380211030487","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0145-2134(94)90115-5"},{"key":"bibr10-15248380211030487","first-page":"327","volume-title":"Handbook of sexology","author":"Byrne D.","year":"1977"},{"key":"bibr11-15248380211030487","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/14681994.2010.494659"},{"key":"bibr12-15248380211030487","volume-title":"The relationships among disposition toward fantasy, force fantasy, sexual dysfunction, satisfaction, and female sex abuse history","author":"Covarrubias L.
