 Male survivors of childhood sexual abuse and male
rape have until recently been the silent, unseen victims of sex
crimes; often forgotten by the support services and legal system. In
the last couple of years this has fortunately begun to slowly change.
As many as 1 in 5 males will be sexually abused before the age of
18. According to FBI figures in the USA, about one in 5 adult rape
victims are male.
Male rape does not only happen
in prisons, it also happens in peoples homes, parks, the army, children's
homes; in
fact male rape can happen almost anywhere. It also matters little how
strong you are, it can happen to almost any male.
We have a male sexual abuse
survivor only
section in our forums and male only chat rooms as well as mixed
gender sections.
