How common is male sexual abuse? - Created by Pete's Princess on Apr 15, 2013: EdenFantasys Forum

Our society is very sympathetic and supportive of women who have been sexually abused as children or teenagers. For example girls being sexually abused by adult males is bad, but if an adult women does it to a boy it is OK. Young boys are more reluctant to report abuse because they are often not taken seriously. If you are man who was sexually abused did you tell anyone and if so how did they react. (Private Voting)

Depends on how you define sexual abuse.

There are really narrow definitions and there are more wide definitions.

According to my definition I would say no, but I made experiences there are people who would definitely say yes. (Sorry for my syntax)

This is of abuse...most of it I assume at younger ages...

Not sure if that helps.
