The confluence model of sexual aggression is a theory that attempts to explain how factors, both psychological and behavioral, interact to contribute to acts of rape and sexual coercion. The theory primarily focuses on men being the perpetrators of these acts. Hostile masculinity and impersonal sex orientation are two focal points of the theory. This entry delves into the framework of the theory, as well as its implications for prevention of the acts of rape and coercion. Researchers and practitioners are better able to develop better strategies to reduce sexual violent acts by better understanding the factors that influence sexual aggression.
