Examples where there are two types of taboo on CSA (incest, prostitution, pornography) are often indistinguishable from other cases re. their outcomes. That is to say, a variety of forms and reactions have been recorded, with seemingly no greater burden of trauma.

• Ramey, J. (1979). "Dealing with the last taboo," (SIECUS Report).

  "Drug abuse was the original concern of this investigation. During the course of the research, nine girls between the ages of 8 and 12 were encountered who admitted involvement in prostitution and/or pronography. They were not runaways. Rather, they had been introduced to their careers by relatives. Their initiation into sex seemed to be motivated by fear of rejection, their drug involvement did not appear to be associated with their sexual activities, and they did not seem to be traumatized by their early association with sex."
