What exactly is unreal about it?

(shudders)

I imagine that men being raped by other men as well as by women happens far more frequently than any of us would care to imagine, it just almost never gets reported. Kind of like women physically abusing men, they'd never admit to it until the relationship was long over.

Does Leverage live in Houston?

But not any worse than the thousands or rapes that happen to women every year.

That said, I'm sure it's more prevalent than is reported, as someone else already stated.

Wow, this dude is a serious pain in the ass.

I don't know if it is true, but I have read claims that if you counted prison rape, more men are raped than women.

Some of those who engage in such practices inside must surely continue them after they are released.

I figured you had a picture of Ned Beatty you wanted to post.

Damn! I didn't think of that!

 

[MakersandIce]

He may have more victims that aren't coming forward for fear of being the butt of bad jokes.

cause you dont hear about that kind of thing everyday.....

 

[katiebarthedoor]

Some victims may be reluctant to come forward...

Interesting:

Myth Vs. Reality
Let's take a look at some mistaken beliefs about male sexual assault and uncover the realities behind the myths...

Myth: Men can't be sexually assaulted. Reality: Men are sexually assaulted. Any man can be sexually assaulted regardless of size, strength, appearance or sexual orientation.

Myth: Only gay men are sexually assaulted. Reality: Heterosexual, gay and bisexual men are equally likely to be sexually assaulted. Being sexually assaulted has nothing to do with your current or future sexual orientation. Your sexuality has no more to do with being raped than being robbed.

Myth: Only gay men sexually assault other men. Reality: Most men who sexually assault other men identify themselves as heterosexual. This fact helps to highlight another reality -- that sexual assault is about violence, anger, and control over another person, not lust or sexual attraction.

Myth: Men cannot be sexually assaulted by women. Reality: Although the majority of perpetrators are male, men can also be sexually assaulted by women.

Myth: Erection or ejaculation during a sexual assault means you "really wanted it" or consented to it. Reality: Erection and ejaculation are physiological responses that may result from mere physical contact or even extreme stress. These responses do not imply that you wanted or enjoyed the assault and do not indicate anything about your sexual orientation. Some rapists are aware how erection and ejaculation can confuse a victim of sexual assault -- this motivates them to manipulate their victims to the point of erection or ejaculation to increase their feelings of control and to discourage reporting of the crime.

Wow, look at all the jokes in a rape news story thread. Whatever parody thread LT makes in answer to this one will surely be deserved.

Where the hell did you find that quote, Mr. Perg?

not sure about that...

yes, the rape itself will be just as awful...but a lot of the pain is afterwards.

the "well you could've have fought hard enough!" crowd...because the victims were adult men, not frail women.
then they'll be tagged as homosexuals, emasculated...

i can get away from being around men, going to the ladies room, in shop/pool changing areas...but they've got nowhere to run to if the panic hits them. taking a pee break becomes a huge and distressing ordeal.

rape crisis help and support groups are almost all geared towards women. i've heard some real horror stories from guys trying to get help.

honestly, i really feel for these poor guys.

hope they catch the SOB soon.

It is going to be just awful for those guys. I hope they all have halfway decent personal support systems available to them.

hopefully, with it being so high profile, the authorities will want to be seen to be providing.
