The article is used to report a study that was conducted by the authors which was intended to add value to the existing literature that discuss the causes of executing sexual violence among intimate partners. Further to that, the article was set to investigate whether there are any other exclusive sexual violence predictors that tend to make it different from physical abuse. The study was based on a hypothesis that the controlling trait in men as well as verbal abuse, dominance and jealousy are likely to increase the level of sexual coercion in intimate partners and subsequent execution of a physical sexual assault. The study sampled one hundred, fifty nine couples and put them through a cross sectional analysis of selecting the couples with male partners who is violent and subjects their partners to assault. This was done with an intention to confirm the hypothesis.

The results of the study indicated indeed that the controlling and dominating behavior in men was a major predictor executing physical assault as a result of sexual coercion among married and unmarried intimate partners. Moreover, the study found out that behavioral jealousy in men also was a common reason behind execution of sexual coercion and eventually sexual assault among partners. However, the studied predictors in the article did not did not seem to predict sexual coercion in a better way than it did to the execution of physical assault. The article made a conclusion that sexual abuse among intimate partners does not have unique predictors and is therefore just another form of physical assault.
