Those who claim that rape of males happens only in prisons contribute to the continuing denial o fthe problem of rape in the larger community. Sexual assault can occur anytime, anyplace. The overwhelming majority of men who rape other men are heterosexual . This is also true of the victims of their assaults. Rape is a crime of violence rather than o fpassion.
Rapists seek to dominate and humiliate their victims.
Rape is not an erotic act, and is unrelated to a person's sexual orientation. Males are always raped by people they don't know. Men have reported being sexually assaulted by family members, friends teachers, clergymen, therapists, physicians, and other acquaintances. All rape vicitms are young and weak. Any male, no matter how old or strong, can be the victim of sexual assault.
