It's not unusual for a male victim to "freeze" out of shock or fear of physical harm. Few, if any, guys have ever considered the possibility of such a thing happening, and are therefore totally unprepared. Then it becomes traumatic......


Quote:
Most guys who experience sexual assault choose never to reveal it, even to people they know and trust. They fear being disbelieved, ridiculed, shamed, accused of weakness, ignored or, in the case of heterosexual men, being perceived as gay.

Worst of all, male survivors fear being blamed for their own attack because they were not "manly" or "macho" enough to protect themselves or prevent it.

For all of these reasons, many guys who survive sexual abuse or sexual assault endure their traumatic experience silently and alone.



If you read your own quotes carefully you will realise they are both specifically talking about male on male sexual assault

So if it was four gay dudes who molested this guy (no penetration), you would still hold the same "it's not traumatic" stance, yes?
