There is almost a theoretical vacuum concerning sexuality and eroticism when it comes to sexual abuse towards children. This paper can be seen as an attempt to, in some degree, fill this vacuum. Various theories claim that sexual abuse is not primarily an act of sexuality. Instead, sexual abuse is motivated by aggression, hostility, revenge and a need to reclaim power and control. This paper, which is built upon in-depth interviews with 29 perpetrators of child sexual abuse, addresses the problem of a lacking sexual dimension. The perpetrators' resistance to talk about sexual acts and erotic feelings, as well as unwillingness among professionals to ask, will be discussed and the consequences this ''denial'' might have for the abused child. A deeper understanding of the dynamics behind sexual abuse towards children it is hoped will result in more efficient treatment methods, with the aim of reducing the risk of new perpetrations. A more profound understanding of concrete sexual actions directed towards the child will also be of value to the adult helping the exposed child to work through experiences of sexual abuse.
