BOOK: Male on male rape: The hidden toll of stigma and shame. New York, NY, USA: Insight Books/Plenum Press. 1997, xxii, 311p.
(from the jacket) "Male on Male Rape: The Hidden Toll of Stigma and Shame" examines a form of violence that, despite worldwide prevalence, remains vastly underreported and unrecognized. Michael Scarce, coordinator of a rape education and prevention program and a survivor of adult male rape, investigates the substantial effects of male-on-male sexual violence on individuals and society, dispelling popular myths and questioning why most communities cannot or will not confront the problem of same-sex sexual violence. This book is the culmination of years of research that includes numerous interviews with straight and gay male rape survivors, and analysis of popular media, case studies, and the author's own personal and professional experience. This book shatters the silence surrounding this form of sexual violence in US society while offering concrete initiatives and strategies for addressing the rape of men by men. It is a resource for anyone with a personal or professional interest in the prevention of rape or the healing of rape's devastating effects. ((c) 1998 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved)

53-55. Abstract
Suggests that problems in treating the male rape victim include the reluctance of many men to report sexual assault, lack of facilities for helping men, and lack of knowledge about the phenomenon. Most male rape is by other men, and males often sustain more injuries than do females. Three phases in the rape trauma syndrome are discussed: acute, reorganization, and latent.

Amnesia as a consequence of male rape: A case report. Source
Journal of Abnormal Psychology. Vol 97(1), Feb 1988, p.100-104.
A male patient suffering from a generalized functional retrograde amnesia, for all autobiographical information, was admitted to a psychiatric inpatient facility. Psychological testing indicated possible sexual assault. Following five hypnotic sessions, the patient regained his memory, and a violent sexual attack by two males was validated. The amnesia is discussed in terms of the constructs of implicit versus explicit memory, and reasons why a male rape victim might suffer such an extreme reaction.

ABSTRACT: College students from psychology courses at a midwestern university rated their agreement with statements reflecting myths that male rape cannot happen, involves victim blame and is not traumatic to men. The results are discussed.

Source International Journal of STD & AIDS. 2(4):258-60, 1991 Jul-Aug. Abstract Epidemiological data in 13 cases of sexual assault on men who attended a sexual assault referral centre are presented. All the assailants were male. The sexual orientation of the victims was predominantly heterosexual (7 of 13), 3 considered themselves to be homosexual and 3 were confused about their sexual orientation. The average age at the time of assault was 21.6 years. The most common form of assault was anal intercourse which occurred in 8 cases, followed by forced oral penetration which occurred in 6 cases. The proportion of known:unknown assailants (8:5) shows similar characteristics to those seen in female rape, use of weapons and multiple assailants were more common in assault on men. Seven men (54%) developed psychological problems following assault, and this was their main reason for presentation to the centre. <2> Unique Identifier 91242684 Authors Hillman R. O'Mara N.

Title Adult male victims of sexual assault: an underdiagnosed condition. Source International Journal of STD & AIDS. 2(1):22-4, 1991 Jan-Feb. Abstract The records of 28 male victims of sexual assault were analysed retrospectively. The mean age at time of assault was 21.7 years and the mean number of assailants was 2.8. Sixteen victims (57%) reported skin or mucosal damage and 25 (89%) sustained penetrative anal intercourse. The threat of transmission of HIV was used by the assailant in 16 cases and sexually transmitted diseases, presumed consequent upon the attack, were found in 5 (18%). These observations suggest that male victims of sexual assault may be at particular risk of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV, and that efforts should be made to encourage them to come forward for help.

Recent literature discusses the medical, legal, and psychological management of the female sexual assault victim, but little has been written regarding appropriate management of male sexual assault. Twenty-nine male sexual assault victims were examined at University Hospital from 1976 to 1980. This study reviews evidence of genital and extragenital trauma and the percentage of those requiring gonorrhea prophylaxis. It further studies the background and characteristics of the sexual assault victim, characterization of the assailant, as well as the details and time of the assault. Information concerning male sexual assault and the unique problems associated with this group is scarce. This study is intended to aid in the development of an effective protocol in dealing with this group of patients and to sensitize physicians to this group of patients.

Title Male rape: offenders and victims. Source American Journal of Psychiatry. 137(7):806-10, 1980 Jul. Abstract In an analysis of 22 cases of male rape in a community setting, the gender of the victim did not appear to be of primary importance to some of the rapists, but for others, males appeared to be specific intended targets, and the rapists' assaults were an effort to deal with unresolved and conflictual aspects of their lives. For all offenders the sexual assault was an act of retaliation, an expression of power, and an assertion of their strength and manhood. The impact of rape on the male victims was similar to that on female victims, disrupting their biopsychosocial functioning; however, male rape appears to be underreported due to the stigma associated with it.

Source American Journal of Psychiatry. 137(2):221-3, 1980 Feb. Abstract Fourteen male rape victims treated in a county hospital emergency room over a 30-month period are compared with 100 randomly selected female victims treated over the same period. The male victims as a group sustained more physical trauma, were more likely to have been a victim of multiple assaults from multiple assailants, and were more likely to have been held captive longer. They were more reluctant to reveal initially the genital component of their assault and were more likely to use denial and control their emotions in reaction to the assault. Proper diagnosis and treatment of male rape victims requires a high index of suspicion and sensititivty to the likelihood of major, hidden trauma. Unique Identifier 80097812 Authors Josephson GW. Title The male rape victim: evaluation and treatment. Source JACEP. 8(1):13-5, 1979 Jan. Abstract The medical literature offers little guidance in the evaluation of male victims of sexual assault. The statutes are a confusing patchwork of conflicting and sexually biased laws. Children and adolescents probably represent the majority of patients, and are typically engaged by subterfuge, often with adults known to the child. Forcible assault, common in adult victims, is not characteristic in the pediatric age group. The evaluation and treatment of the sexually abused male victim is similar to his female counterpart. Physicians and emergency department staff must be knowledgeable regarding their responsibilities to these patients, and concerned with the medical, legal and psychological ramifications of sexual assault.

Title Prior sexual assault reported by male attenders at a department of genitourinary medicine. Source International Journal of STD & AIDS. 6(2):95-100, 1995 Mar-Apr. Abstract One-hundred-and-fifty male patients who attended the department of genitourinary medicine (GUM) completed a questionnaire which enquired into a past history of sexual assault and asked certain details about the assault and various sequelae of such an experience. Twenty-one men gave a history of sexual assault, 11 of whom had been abused before the age of 16, 7 afterwards and 3 in both age groups. Victims of such an assault were more likely to be homosexual or bisexual than heterosexual. The substantial majority i.e. 104 (81%) of the 129 patients who had not been assaulted in the past had been brought up by both natural parents. However, of the 21 males who reported a history of previous sexual abuse only 11 (52%) had been raised by both natural parents alone and 9 of the remaining 10 who divulged such information had been brought up in other circumstances. The association between not being raised entirely by both natural parents and a history of previous sexual assault was significant (P less than 0.01). Overall, physical contact of a sexual nature was the most commonly reported type of abuse, followed by anal and then by oral penetration. All of the perpetrators of assault were male except in one instance. Only 3 cases of assault were reported to the police or other agencies. Those who had been abused as minors were more likely to acknowledge subsequent psychological difficulties and to have obtained professional counselling. This problem is a significant one which goes largely undetected in GUM departments and elsewhere.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) Unique Identifier 95285076 Authors King M.
