Many, but not all, states use the phrase sexual assault. Many states are beginning to recognize the sexual assault of males as a problem. Boys tend not to be taught to empathize. Males are only beginning to recognize how many of them have experienced sexual assault. For reasons similar that female survivors, male survivors deny their victimization.
All sexual assault is an expression of power, hate, and control.
This demonstrates, again how straight culture confuses sex with sexual assault. Any male who has been assaulted by another male has a disincentive to report the incident because many people assume that any male assaulted by another male is automatically gay. Some sexual assaults of gay males are committed by perpetrators who self-identify as heterosexual. The motivations of these men to assault gay males is similar to their motivation to assault females-to dominate and express hatred. Some sexual assaults of gay males are committed by other gay males.
