More than four in 10 teenage boys and young men say they’ve been coerced into unwanted sexual behavior, according to a new study.

The study published by the American Psychological Association journal Psychology of Men and Masculinity was based on a survey of 54 high school students and 230 college students, ages 14 to 26.

The survey, which was completed by high schoolers in the classroom and by college students electronically or in the classroom, found 43 percent of respondents had at least one unwanted sexual experience.

In those cases, 95 percent of respondents said the aggressor was a female acquaintance.

According to the survey, 18 percent reported sexual coercion by physical force, 31 percent reported verbal coercion, 26 described unwanted seduction through sexual behavior, and 7 percent said they were compelled after being given alcohol or drugs.

Half the students had unwanted sexual intercourse, 10 percent reported an attempt to have intercourse, and 40 percent said they were coerced into unwanted kissing or fondling.

In written descriptions, 40 percent of Latino students reported sexual coercion, compared to 22 percent of black students, 19 percent of white students, and 8 percent of Asian students.

Oh you kids!

Shit like this is ridiculous and insulting to people that really have been abused.

Let's make sure everyone is a victim of something.

During copulation, I was quit willing, eager even. She made love like a freight train--all steam and friction, punctuated by screeches and hard stops. It was only afterward, when my friends pointed out her other train-like qualities, that I realized I must have been coerced.

That sounds like the start of a great story. Maybe title it: IT TAKES A TRAIN TO LAUGH, or LAST TRAIN TO FUCKSVILLE, or WHO'S THE COWCATCHER?, or TIED TO THE RAILS or something like that.

I tried to ride in her caboose. The relationship kind of went off the rails after that. She needed John Henry and his nine-pound hammer, and I was more of a Jesse James with his six-gun. I have a hobo's heart, and she was a monorail kind of girl. Got some good one-liners out of it, though.

Don't like Casey Jones?

I worried that another train reference might seem overly engineered.

you have a one track mind.

 

[AMoveableBeast]

you have a one track mind.

I do tend to chug along.

Speaking of which, I do believe this thread was hijacked right out of the station. I apologize. I should conduct myself better.

Okay, I'm done.

Wait. You should know that I didn't choo-choo-chose to be this way; I was railroaded into it.

Okay, really finished now.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

The problem isn't new, nice guys lose out when they wont put out. Girls want it, and moms push their boys to do it.

Damn, it looks like I was in the wrong half. That's my kind of luck.

 

[mynameisben]

Think how stupid I must feel. I didn't even know there was such a thing as unwanted sex.

Now, here we seem to have a difference in use of the word "Abused".
To me, it implies non-consent at best, probably with violence.
Whereas to be coerced is nothing of the kind. More like "persuaded".

Damn, it looks like I was in the wrong half. That's my kind of luck.

I know what you mean; me too!

The other half are smiling and humming to themselves.

You can't rape the willing.

Thanks for this Jack, LJ reloaded should be here any minute now

Now if only there was so much concern for the girl date raped in Ohio(you know the girl, the people in the town are blaming her for those fine young football players losing her career) and the girl who was date raped and the pictures put on facebook and the Canuck shithead cops still said it was her fault and she killed herself.

But these poor boys!

The US considers itself civilized, but bottom line women still ask to raped and men are the victims in the court of law.

Fuck these assholes, really.

And fuck you too Jack I wish some mod would start putting all your current events bullshit in the GB where it belongs and where you would put it if you had any balls.

I know for a fact that I coerced more than one guy, in my teen years. One guy who had intended on 'saving it for his wife' which I thought was hooey and still do, but yanno-- that was his desire, and it's hard to say no to a girl that is unbuttoning your jeans.

I don't think the article is trying to compare apples and oranges, it's just pointing out that oranges exist too.

 

[patientlee]

What's the definition of "unwanted sex"- that it was unwanted before it happened or that they decided it wasn't such a good idea after they came?

 

[Cruel2BKind]

There is gray area here, but I did still try to persuade a lot of boys who slept with me. I persuaded hard.

Laughing at coercion of men or pretending like it doesn't matter doesn't help anyone. The truth is that there are men who don't always want to have sex all the time, or don't want to sleep with a particular person, and men can also feel guilty or icky about sex.

Also rape and abuse of men ESPECIALLY by women is really underplayed.

You guys are being part of the problem.

Just because at one point you wanted sex, and didn't get it, doesn't mean that men who got coerced into sex are somehow being massive whiners about it.

 

[sr71plt]

God. This is an erotica site. Loosen up. I can see another round of "gotta preach using condoms in your stories" thread coming on.

Lc68, thank you for your input, but you can avoid or "Ignore" my threads if they upset your delicate sensitivities. Just so you know, I put these types of articles up to stimulate conversation about odd subjects that don't get much play what with all the incest, wife swapping and butt sex.

I take freedom of speech seriously. (Well maybe not always seriously, but...) I think that you and the Pilot have done enough damage to congenial discourse since you have determined that you are the arbitrators of whats important and within the bounds of correct intercourse.

As for fucking me, well let's leave that for those who are equipped to actually do that, I seriously doubt that your dick could reach me herein La La Land.

Naw, Jack, you put up threads like this to make fun of someone or other--and usually to be totally irrelevant to the AH with GB material.

Is coerced male sex irrelevant? It is a subject for discussion and perhaps writing about in a meaningful way. It is one side of Non-Con that gets little coverage.

As for making fun of someone, I was actually making fun of sex and silly studies that state the obvious.

As for GB fodder, there have been many articles today that would excite RWCJ a lot more than this one, but they are too stupid to even quote to them.

I suggest that you and LC get a life and stop clogging the board with your derp sniping.

 

[Stella_Omega]

This particular silly study is highly not-obvious-- obviously.

And it's always fascinating to watch manly men types react to the notion that boys might not want to fuck the women who want to fuck them.

 

[sr71plt]

You're about the last one on the planet who has standing to tell anyone else to stop clogging the board with derp.

And maybe, to be posting in the AH, you just might start contributing stories again--haven't done so for over a year. Too busy looking up derp to drop here, I highly suspect. Talk about needing to get a life.

LC and I, at least, have good standing to be posting to the AH. We're actually authors with currency here.

 

[Stella_Omega]

Say Pilot, have you ever asked Laurel about that? What does she say the requirements are for AH posters?
