This chapter presents a summary of past research into men’s sexual victimization by women and women’s sexual aggression perpetration against men. This is followed by the presentation of findings from several studies on women’s and men’s sexual victimization obtained by parallel methods from a range of countries in Europe, Asia, and Latin America to identify similarities and differences between the two gender groups in the preva‐ lence and vulnerability factors of sexual victimization. The analysis shows that although men’s victimization rates tend to be lower than women’s, the gender difference in prevalence rates is smaller than assumed in the public discussion about sexual aggression. Moreover, longitudinal studies from different countries reveal more similarities than differences in the vulnera‐ bility factors of men’s and women’s sexual victimization.
