Nearly Half of Young Men Say They’ve Had ‘Unwanted’ Sex
New study says it's possible for women to rape men: 18% of surveyed guys say women used physical force to make them have sex against their will


A new study challenges some widely held assumptions about coercion, sexual assault and gender. According to a paper published in the American Psychological Association journal, Psychology of Men and Masculinity, 43% of high school and college-aged men say they’ve had “unwanted sexual contact,” and 95% of those say a female acquaintance was the aggressor.

Researchers surveyed 284 young men and found that 18% reported sexual coercion by force, 31% said they were verbally coerced sex, and 26% said they’d experienced “unwanted seduction by sexual behaviors.” Half of those surveyed said they ended up having sex against their will, 10% said sex was attempted, and 40% said the coercion resulted in fondling or kissing.

Dr. Bryana French, who teaches counseling psychology and black studies at University of Missouri and co-authored the study, says that male victims are often less willing to describe sexual coercion in detail, “but when asked if it happened, they say it happened.”

But what about the, urm, erectile aspect of sex? French says that the study defined “sex” as oral, vaginal, or anal, so it’s possible that the sex didn’t involve an erection. But she also said that it’s not impossible for men to have an erection even if they don’t want to have sex. “Sometimes when women are experiencing sexual violence, their bodies respond in ways that don’t correspond to how they feel,” she said. “They can not want the experience to happen, even if their bodies said otherwise.”

French’s survey sample was small, nonetheless, she hopes her research helps upend our assumptions about sexual violence and gender. “That’s an unfortunate myth, that men can’t be raped by women,” she said. “This is not to deny the gendered impact of sexual violence, but it’s important not to ignore that men are victimized too.”


The study, if you care to read it:

This doesn't surprise me. I remember in college there was this chick and she would blatantly go around sexually assaulting guys when they were piss drunk. People used to joke about it like she was some sort of man eater and shrug it off but clearly what she was doing fell under the legal definition of rape. I'm sure every guy has been exposed on some level to the uncomfortable experience of having some woman throw themselves at you forcibly and try to shrug it off, or wake up in a bed next to some shyt you wanted no part of :whoa:. Obviously as a guy you're supposed to say it's whatever and it's on to the next one, but that's part of the culture we've created for ourselves in a sense, that any sex is a W and that we always wanted.

Obviously men commit sexual assault at much higher rates than women do, but it's interesting to note.
post a twin thread in TLR.... you'll go 2.5X platinum breh.... :ehh: :birdman:

:russ: Nah, fukk that shyt. Someone else can do that shyt. A lot of those guys aren't mature enough to look at this from a mature standpoint. They're just gonna flip this into some women hating shyt :smh:

Yet another case where hyper-masculine gender roles work against men. Men who have been legitimately made to suffer are discouraged from reporting it and not taken seriously because they're seen as weak and blamed for not being able to defend themselves, or just exaggerating something that doesn't actually count as a violation, especially if the attacker was a woman.

This is what a lot of MRA types don't like to address when the subject of male sexual assault and rape comes up. If a man is sexually assaulted, then it's not seen as a problem because men are 'supposed' to always have the objective of getting laid all the time. If they do bring it up, peers will lambaste them as a p*ssy or fakkit because they see rape as exclusively some sort of physical overpowering act.

I think we all need a break from "studies".

Then criticise it or keep it moving. I do think that it has a small sample size, fwiw.

Sexual assault isn't defined by dikk in vagina, nor does it necessitate you having an erection. read the article.

Interested to hear what @No_bammer_weed
