N2  - The purpose of this study is to report the aggressive sexual behaviour of alcohol-dependent men and its implications in clinical practice. A total of thirty women of male alcohol-dependent partners were taken from a psychiatric clinic and matched with a control group of spouses of healthy non-drinking men for the variables of age, gender, ethnicity and social class. These groups were tested for sexually induced marks over a one month period, areas of the body that were marked, duration of body marks and lovemaking experiences. Our findings indicate that the spouses of alcohol-dependent men are subjected to more aggressive and painful sexual experiences, more body marks in more regions that lasted an average of 7 days and more biting of body surfaces than wives of non-alcohol-dependent men. These behaviours are interpreted as subtle signs of domestic violence which should not be ignored in clinical practice.<p />
