+ allowed 2 make their own decisions

🤔How do male survivors
react 2 sexual assault?

Anger, anxiety, fear, confusion,
self-blame, shame, depression
+ even suicidal thoughts
R all common reactions
4 some1 who has experienced
sexual assault.

Men, however,
R more likely than women
2 initially respond w anger,
Men will try 2 minimize 🐜
the importance
or severity of assault.

Male survivors more likely
2 use or abuse alcohol or other drugs 🍸💊
as a means 2 try + cope w experience
+ its after affects.🎭
Some men may have an erection 🚀
or may ejaculate during a sexual assault,
+ may later feel confused that
perhaps this means they enjoyed experience😱

Some perps deliberately manipulate victim 2 orgasm,
out of a desire 2 completely control victim😱😱

#MaleSexualAssault
🔥🔥
Due 2 a male's physiological response
of an erection or ejaculation,
Perps can continue manipulation
after assault 2 coerce survivor
away from reporting or seeking help.

💸💸Bet there aren't many
women survivors who had
an orgasm while an assault took place.

🤔What ideas in our society
prevent male survivors
from speaking out about
sexual assault + sexual abuse?

👇
Because of how men are socialized
+ expected 2 behave in our society,
a male survivor of sexual assault
may feel as if he is not “a real man.”
👆
🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
Our society expects men
2 B in control, 💪
therefore survivor + others
may have difficulty accepting
image of a man
who has been victimized.🤔

Stigma | Fallacy 👈
of being abused as a child
leading 2 adult perps <=== NOT TRUE
effecting males in not speaking.

#SexualAssault
👥Homophobia causes men
who have experienced
male-on-male rape
2 fear telling their stories👻

Homophobia + gay stereotypes
may affect man’s decision 2 disclose.

Stereotypes on promiscuity of gay men
will often lead 2 victim blaming
from survivor’s support system.
#LGBT
Homophobia is a tool ⚒️
a perpetrator can use
+ perpetuate in order
2 maintain this power⚒️

By denying that males
can B sexually assaulted,
male survivors R made 2 feel
they R alone or abnormal.

Too many cases go unreported.

Healing is a process.

Sometimes people forget 2 B
