Sexual Assault: A Look at
Male Victims
Emily Edwards
Are adult male victims of
sexual assault overlooked and
if so, why?
Question:
Hypothesis
 Because men are ideologically viewed as being
masculine, sexually aggressive/wanting, and
physically dominant, adult male sexual assault
victims are overlooked and are often not considered
victims at all.
Common
Myths
 Men are rarely sexually
abused:
1. Self-reliant
2. Defensive
3. Sexual identity
 Women cant sexually
assault men
 Sexual assault against men
only occurs in prison or
other institutional settings
 Male rape is about sexual
orientation
And the
Victims are:
 Ages 18+
 1 out of 25 men
 Rates fall between 0.6%-7.2%
 Rate for college men falls at
8.3%
 Men with disabilities are twice
as likely to be sexually abused
 20% of male prison inmates
report forced sex incidents
 Homosexual, bisexual, and
feminine appearing men are
the most targeted victims
Who are the
Offenders?
 White, heterosexual men
-Desire to dominate and use
sex as a weapon
 Women tend to use
persuasion rather than
force
 Intimate partner
 Men are more likely than
woman to have multiple
assailants
Male Sexual Assault in the
Media
The Aftermath
 Sexually assaulted men report greater symptomatology than
assaulted woman
 Men tend to deny the assault and repress the situation
-Due to sex role violation associated with sexual victimization in society
-Fear of appearing powerless, weak and unmasculine
 More likely to be victims of depression, substance abuse, hostility,
violence, suicide, etc.
However
 Information on male sexual assault is very limited
 Not large enough sample sizes to determine the
severity of the issue
 Issue of underreporting
 Most male sexual assault victims are offended as
children
In Conclusion
 The sexual assault of men is an important issue that
has been overlooked and underexamined
 Due to male rape myths, stigmas against male
victims, and fears of questioned sexuality, men do
not feel comfortable reporting their incidents and
therefore, the sexual assaults are underplayed
 Awareness is increasing and becoming more
frequently studied and talked about
