Hello,
I find this an interesting topic to discuss!

Male Rape Is Not a Myth
So who and what are included under the new definition? Men, for starters. The fact is there is an overwhelming silence around the idea of men as victims of sexual crimes, both in popular discourse and academic research. The adult rape of men is considered a myth by many. While women are disproportionately affected, the truth is an estimated 5-10% of rape cases are men, according to the National Center for Victims of CrimeCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that nearly 1 in 71 men have been raped in their lifetime, 1 in 7 men experienced severe physical violence by an intimate partner, and 1 in 19 men have experienced stalking in their lifetime. . Some research shows that men are more likely to be victims of gang rape, and that physical injury is more likely to occur during the rape of a man versus that of a woman. The
Keep in mind that most rapes go unreported, and men may have even more reasons than women NOT to report sex crimes. Men who do report rape are often blamed harshly for failing to fight back or appearing scared. Men who are victims of female perpetrators are often completely discredited.
Oral and anal sex are also now included in the FBI definition, as well as penetration by “any body part or object,” “no matter how slight.” If you don’t think that oral sex is a form of rape, I recommend you pick up The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. Research shows that men are more likely to be penetrated anally and/or orally than women during a sex crime.
So, the next time you hear the words ‘rape’ or ‘sex crimes,’ stop a second before making assumptions. This is the perfect time to start an open and honest conversation about sex crimes in our society, a conversation that includes both men and women, equally invested in stopping acts of sexual violence"
