This is hard to read, but it's needed and for that it's awesome. These are just anonymous guys. They could be from any where, and background, any race, any socioeconomic status, but it doesn't matter because they feel pain just like any human. I hate that this happened to anyone but I appreciate the opportunity to read real stories from real men.

Its not the first time I've seen such from AskReddit, but at least it gives more material to link to for nay-sayers. Thank you for the link.

A disturbing amount of these posts indicate the crimes were either not reported because the victim was unsure at the time if they were raped or reported and ignored due to the belief that men cannot be raped.

Dam are some of those hard to read

That post has 82% upvotes meaning 18% people have downvoted it. In my experience, AskReddit posts have high upvote percentages in general. Just saying. I don't know how this relates to anything but I wonder if there is a way to do meta-data statistical analysis of reddit posts to determine how male issues are perceived in a gender neutral sub. I believe perception about men's issues as not being important or worthy of discussion is one of the biggest problems to address by MRM. And I love any quantitative data proving the gynocentric bias of the society.

Very hard to read but so proud to see it got attention and though I didn't read far, I didn't see any "male-rape doesn't exist" type comments, and everyone was extremely respectful. I immediately thought of r/MensRights when I saw it.

Reading these stories really opened my eyes up to how much of the trauma from rape is psychological. It is honestly a terrible thing. Especially considering unwanted responses by your body when being victimized--male or female, that has got to be the most confusing, tormenting mental situation.

I'm glad they're so brave. They show the world the truth by doing this. I hope they're okay now. Everyone deserves support for what they go through.

I have tremendous admiration for all of the men who posted their stories. If something like that happened to me, no way I could ever tell anyone, even under a throwaway pseudonym. I'd take that to my grave.

I've posted there.

I was molest buy men and women at a young age.

first time by a gang of teenagers who tied me up in the woods near my house they snatched me right infront of my house while i was playing in the sand, and my dad rescued me before anything else happend could of been killed they had a knife.

2nd time i was 9 until 13 neighbour's child 16 year old babysitter took advantage of the puppy love i had for her and we had intercourse for years. Only my wife knows never told my parents as she threatned that we would never be together again if they knew.

It was hard for me to even say it to my wife im in my 30's now and im still affected by how i was used for perverted gains. I still feel dirty to this day.

I actually read this without seeing the 'male' part of the question and was surprised and happy by the reactions. That being said, I wonder how it would go over if the question was for females.

I feel like I need a hug after reading that...

I posted that they were raped because a rapist decided to rape them and you shouldn't be asking people why they were raped. I was downvoted.
