my understanding is that men who are raped rarely report it because either 1: they're straight and fear that they will be considered gay because of it, or 2: they are gay, and feel (sometimes with some good reason) that it will be assumed that they must have wanted it. because, of course, all gay men will fuck anyone, anywhere, any time. shyeah, riiiight.
i know one (gay) man in belfast who was raped. he didn't even consider going to the police. and i should say that as i understand it he was attacked by TWO strangers. nasty.
