ABSTRACT

Several factors contribute to sexual victimization, including cultural practices
and gendered expectations. The current study considered one aspect of purity
culture, adolescent virginity pacts, and their potential effect on sexual
victimization in adolescence and adulthood. Using data from all five waves of
the Add Health, longitudinal mixed gender and gender-specific analyses were
conducted. The results indicated a gendered association between virginity pacts
and sexual victimization. Virginity pacts were associated with lower odds of
sexual victimization for women, while men who took a virginity pact had higher
odds of sexual victimization compared to their counterparts who did not take a
virginity pact. Theoretical explanations and practical implications are
presented, highlighting the potential importance of gendered socialization in
preventing gender-based violence.
