Rape of males
A significant proportion of victims of rape or sexual violence in general are male. A study conducted in England indicated that 3% of males surveyed reported experiencing non-consensual sex as adults, 5% experienced non-consensual sex as children (under 16 years of age), and 8% experienced consensual sex as children (though illegal by UK law). In the United States, sexual violence against men, like women, is underreported. The 2014 National Crime Victimization Survey found that 38 percent of incidents of rape and other sexual violence were against men. ==General views on rape of males== Generally, rape is still thought to be a crime against women specifically (and historically was defined this way), although many cases of male-victim rape have become subject of public discussion recently. Dr. Maeve Eogan and Deirdra Richardson, respectively the medical director of the Sexual Assault Treatment Unit (SATU) of Rotunda Hospital and a sexual assault forensic examiner, said that rape of males is still taboo to be spoken about and has a negative connotation among both heterosexual and homosexual men.〔Deborah Condon. April 4th 2014. Irish Health. (Male rape 'still a taboo subject' ). Comments of Dr Maeve Eogan and Deirdra Richardson in ''Modern Medicine, the Irish Journal of Clinical Medicine''.〕 Community and service providers often react to the sexual orientation of male victims and the gender of his perpetrator.〔Davies, 2002〕 Mostly, male victims try to hide, and deny their victimization, similar to female victims, unless they have serious physical injuries. Eventually, the male victims may be very vague in explaining their injuries when they're seeking medical or mental health services.〔 It is difficult for a male victim, heterosexual or homosexual, to report the sexual assault that was experienced by him, especially in a society with a strong masculine custom. An Indian counselor named Ajay Sathyan said "They don't have a platform to speak out. Even families don't want to acknowledge it publicly." They are afraid that people will doubt their sexual orientation and label them as homosexuals. A perception of being homosexual is also alleged to be the motive in many cases.〔Priya M Menon. February 16, 2013. The Times of India, (Lacking support, male rape victims stay silent ).〕
