Another cause of slutty behavior may be childhood sexual abuse (CSA), which increases chances of engaging in "risky sexual behavior" by factor 3,<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0145213416302848</ref>. However, causality is unclear in this case, as many children are abused by those genetically related to them.<ref>https://www.huffpost.com/entry/12-confronting-statistics-on-child-sexual-abuse_b_587dab01e4b0740488c3de49</ref> Thus, it is challenging to disentangle genetic influences that may both result in promiscuity in the child and the greater propensity to commit acts of molestation on behalf of kin caregivers who have greater access to the victim.

There is evidence that early CSA may accelerate women's life history speed on a broad phenotypic level. In support of this hypothesis, Vigil et al. (2005), controlling for several socioeconomic factors (and lack of paternal investment, presumably a potent indicator of the father's life history strategy), did find that CSA was associated with several indices of a faster life history strategy, including earlier age at first menarche, younger age at first sex, and increased reported desire to have a child earlier on behalf of abused girls.<ref>https://web.missouri.edu/~gearyd/Vigiletal%5BDP2005%5D.pdf</ref>
