Sexual narcissism and hypersexuality are linked to sexual coercion perpetration during college hookups, according to a study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior. The research found that individuals with higher levels of sexual narcissism and hypersexuality were more likely to engage in sexual coercion after facing rejection during a hookup encounter. The study also revealed that sexual coercion was prevalent among both men and women, with no significant gender differences. The findings highlight the need for further research on risk factors and psychological mechanisms associated with sexual coercion in casual sexual relationships among college students.
