Traumatic sexualization, according to the theory of David Finkelhor, is the shaping of a child's sexual feelings and attitudes in a manner inappropriate for the child's level of development. For example, traumatic sexualization may produce concerns about a homosexual identity in a young male molested by an adult male; sexual dysfunctions; overall confusion about sexual matters; and interpersonal relationship problems.[1]

Virtually none of the studies conducted to date have examined traumatic sexualization, nor have they included measures relating to sexual well-being. Several authors (e.g., Tsun-Yin, 1998) have suggested that traumatic sexualization could have a negative effect on self-esteem, particularly self-esteem in relation to social and sexual relationships. Thus, further research is necessary to understand the complex relationship between traumagenic dynamics and the psychological adjustment of CSA victims.[2]
