In the past decade, America has “discovered” that women are hidden victims of acquaintance rape. During the 1990’s, we are
finding that men too, are hidden victims of acquaintance rape. Contrary to commonly held beliefs that men are “too big”, “too
strong”, “too much in control”, or “too much into sex”, to be sexually assaulted, a substantial number of men are victimized each
year. The exact prevalence of sexual assault upon American men is difficult to determine because of a lack of research and
official records. With the exception of studies of sexual assault on men in prisons, there is a dearth of literature about male
sexual assault victims. As of 1988, the Uniform Crime Statistics did not include statistics for male rape victims because, by the
Bureau’s definition, the victims of forcible rape are always female.
In a study done in a large university community in 1982, one of the earliest that determined that male victims of sexual assault
exist, 8% of the male respondents reported unwanted sexual contact, and .5% reported an act of forced penetration. In a study
in 1987 at a small midwestern university, 48% of 141 male respondents had felt verbally pressured by a female dating partner
to have sex. 6% said that they had been physically forced by a dating partner to have sexual intercourse. Other studies have
found that between 12 and 16% of male college students have been forced to have sexual intercourse while on a date with a
female. Most said that they had sex due to verbal pressure such as pleading, demands or blackmail. Some said they were
pressured by verbal coercion and physical restraint, and some were too intoxicated to consent.
