“Nicholas Groth, a
clinical psychologist and author of Men
Who Rape: The Psychology of the Offender, says all
sexual assault is an act of aggression, regardless of the
gender or age of the victim or the assailant. Neither sexual
desire nor sexual deprivation is the primary motivating force
behind sexual assault. It is not about sexual gratification,
but rather a sexual aggressor using somebody else as a means
of expressing their own power and control. “

Male rape overview: "Male survivors of sexual
assault, regardless of their sexual identity or orientation,
face deep-rooted and complex perceptions and prejudices. The
confusion of violence with sex blames the victim; when the
perpetrator is another man, since the survivor “wanted it,”
the conclusion is that the male survivor must be
gay."

“In October
of 1988 the first professional Conference on Male Sexual
Victimization was held in Minneapolis. This ground-breaking
conference, organized by a few dedicated mental health
providers, brought together professionals who wanted to better
understand and treat adult male survivors of childhood sexual
abuse. At that time, nearly a decade ago, only limited
information could be offered to those who participated. But
those present had great enthusiasm and the clear recognition
that the conference was a necessary and valuable resource,
where professionals could share practical information and ask
questions. And it was a safe place for some to acknowledge
their own sexual victimization.”
