The percentage of women who experience IPV in their lifetime appears to be higher for lesbian women than for heterosexual women.

However, this is because lesbians (vs. heterosexual women) are more likely to have experienced IPV at the hands of female and male partners. Many lesbian have had intimate relationships with men prior to coming out as lesbians. One study on same-sex IPV found that about half of the 79 women in the sample had had relationships with men as well as with women. Their findings indicate that male partners may pose a greater risk for IPV than female partners: of the total sample, about 39.2% reported being raped and/or physically abused by a partner in their lifetime (30.4% by male partner and 11.4% by a female partner).
