The Sexually coercive behavior increases in mens when they faced incidents like physical or sexual abuse . Boys with this history of their childhood causing four times more likely to use sexually coercive behaviour against an female partner in later life.
The researches conducted by Erin Casey, a University of Washington Tacoma assistant professor of social work, has found that victims of childhood abuse are at an increased risk of indulging in sexually coercive behaviour as an adolescent or a young adult.
“Although there can be physical force involved in sexual coercion, it more often involves such tactics as pressure, persuasion, insistence, manipulation and lying to have sex with an unwilling female partner,” said Erin. In the study involving nearly 5,650 males, 45 per cent of the respondents reported sexually coercive behaviour. Men who experienced only physical abuse were half as likely to engage in sexual coercion as those who did not experience any abuse. “The higher the frequency of childhood abuse the more likely an adolescent or young adult was to engage in sexually coercive behaviour,” added Erin.
“There is a lot of evidence indicating sexual coercion and aggression is a complex behaviour with an array of risk factors. There is this whole group of men for whom we have yet to fully understand what their risk factors are,” she added.
The study also found that men who experienced childhood sexual abuse were more likely to report becoming sexually active at a young age as well. The findings appear online in the Journal of Interpersonal Violence.

Never tell a bad joke, It might effect to your health.
Every one cannot be a good joke teller. A good joke mainly depends on situtaion, listeners mood and the way of presentation. US linguist at the Washington State University researched on effect of bad jokes, and found that people who tell bad jokes often endure an astonishing outpouring of hostility from the listeners.
“These were basically attacks intended to result in the social exclusion or humiliation of the speaker, punctuated on occasion with profanity, a nasty glare or even a solid punch to the arm,” said researcher Nancy Bell.
For this research she used many kinds of jokes including jokes that contain offensive material or slurs. The worest response that she received for this small joke (act its not joke, its riddle) in her bad joke research is “What did the big chimney say to the little chimney? Nothing, chimneys can’t talk.’’ The responses to this childish riddle included insults, glares, silence or even blows. “The predominant verbal reaction to failed humour in our study was oriented exclusively toward attacking the speaker,’’
Nancy’s findings would come as no surprise to most professional comics, who know that humour can sometimes turn very, very ugly.
