MALE RAPE


Yes it is possible for men to be raped. Any male can be raped. It does not matter his size, appearance, education, strength, race, or occupation. It matters not whether he is gay or straight. He can be raped anywhere a woman can be raped. He can be raped anywhere the rapist believes he won’t get caught.  

As quiet as it is kept, it is happening closer than you think. There was a young couple smooching in an isolated area not far from Montgomery, Alabama. It wasn’t the girl the four thugs raped and sodomized; it was her young boyfriend. He was forced to do many despicable acts in front of his young girlfriend as all four thugs brutally and repeatedly raped him. 

You can ask any police officer and they will tell you that these new thugs don’t want the girls now. They want to have sex with the young men who carry the young girls into the isolated areas. To understand this we need to understand rape. Rape is more about violence, anger, domination and control over the victim. It has very little to do with lust or sexual attraction. 

Young men who take young girls in isolated areas of Montgomery, Alabama give very little thought to the fact that they themselves could be brutally raped by a gang of thugs or an individual rapist with a weapon. It happens more often than you think. It is estimated that 3% of adult men are raped. Of this number 40% claim to be straight. The majority of men who rape other men identify themselves as straight. 

If you want to avoid becoming a victim of male rape, I strongly urge young men to avoid isolated areas in Montgomery, Alabama. There are male rapist lurking around our neighborhood parks and public toilets. Some young men are raped when their homes are invaded. Just because it isn’t on the NEWS does not mean it does not occur. Be safe and stay out of isolated areas with your dates.

Young man the rape victim could very well be you!
