Abstract

Sexual assault cases occur frequently, and the number of victims of sexual assault continues to rise. This paper investigates the acceptability in marriage and love relationship of “non-virgins” such as women who have premarital sex and victims of sexual assault through questionnaires and analyzing relevant comments from Sina Weibo (A Chinese social platform). Using the SPSS software to conclude that “a sexually assaulted girlfriend” (28.1%) is more unacceptable than “a girlfriend who has had sexual experience” (13.1%). This article will provide a simple analysis of the reasons why victims of sexual assault are less likely to be accepted among the two types of “non-virgin” women under the influence of the “virginity obsession”. And we make recommendations to improve the unfair treatment of sexual assaulted women.
