The article deals with the sexual behavior of Austro–Hungarian soldiers during World War I. It is mostly based on autobiographical data from soldiers and their contemporaries. These show that, owing to the brutality and length of the war, sexuality eventually turned more aggressive, prostitution flourished and the number of infections with sexually transmitted diseases increased.
