Abstract
A sample of 116 female rape victims were-studied over a 48-week period to determine their emotional and sexual functioning. A small sample of women were interviewed an average of five years after the rape. Most rape victims' sexual activity had returned to normal within 4-6 months after the rape, but 10-20% had difficulties which persisted over a long period of time.
