I forgot how my midwife phrased it, but I believe I remember her telling me that women who have precipitous labors were often sexually abused. Or perhaps she phrased it that if you were sexually abused you have a higher chance of having a precipitous labor. In any case, if that were true, I would imagine the opposite would be true and that women who were sexually abused would have a lower c/s rate. I have no idea if her statistics were accurate or if my conclusion is at all on target. Just thought I'd throw it out there as an anecdote.
