It happens more than you'd think.

But, as you've seen, many men won't report it, as is the case for women, so the figures are inaccurate.

IIRC, somewhere around 10-15% of rape victims are male, I don't have it to hand.

I am shocked at how many men that I know that said that they wouldn't because of the massive stigma they would have to bear, and the social after effects they would have to live with...


Edit: Lets say that he either drugged you, or there's more than one of them so you can't fight, or kill them before it happens...

And lets say no revenge either, would you report it or not?
Ridiculous.

You live in Los Angeles? You must be an early riser because each day, you start posting around 4:00am LA time. Too early for most people. But its okay, if you are an east coaster and dont want people to know where you live.

I've live in Los Angeles my whole life, and lately I am an early to bed, early to rise person.

You must be keeping an eye on me, and my posts. I'm flattered...

You are never 100% invincible. You can minimize the risk by taking some self defense classes and firearm and weapon training. I love that some dirtbags are reading my posts that I make. That's right, do you feel lucky, well do you punk? Personally, in the U.S. with the number of firearms out in the civilian market, I wouldn't chance it. Especially after 911.

I remember the subject of a man being raped brought up in of all places a sitcom called "Too Close For Comfort". Ther was a character named Monroe played by Jim J Bullock, and he describes to the family how he was abducted and raped by two big women in this case. The police scoffed at it, and so Henry (Ted Knight) went off to look for the rapists.

I was probably less than ten years old when I watched this, which is why I have such a distinct memory of this. I tried to find something on youtube, but according to this clip, the episode has not been aired in syndication ever.

Rape is a traumatic and violating experience whether the victim is male or female, or whether the perp is male or female.
