In those books, only men were molested children, and women the only victims: in reality, boys are statistically almost as vulnerable as girls, and women are as likely as men to molest boys.
As recent research indicates, men are as likely to be abused by a female as by a male, and while the data was not available at the time these books were written, both books are even-handed and avoid shaming men for being male.
Sonkin assumes that all menwho are abused abuse innocent women, if not children, in their adult life, and that the men are always the initiators of abuse.
Menwho have sex with men (MSM) is a term used to identify menwho have sex with men, but may or may not self-identify as gay or homosexual.
In their assessment of the knowledge about the sexual networks and behaviours of menwho have sex with men in Asia the authors observed that using MSM as a category does not always work.
Young MSM who do not disclose their sexual orientation (nondisclosers) are thought to be at particularly high risk for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection because of low self-esteem, depression, or lack of peer support and prevention services that are available to MSM who are more open about their sexuality (disclosers) (1--3).
Participants who answered 1 or 2 were defined as nondisclosers, and participants who answered 3--7 were defined as disclosers.
Participants who answered 1 or 2 were grouped together because of similarities in their demographic characteristics, reported risk behaviors, and prevalence of HIV infection.

In Cambodia, men having sex with men is not socially acceptable and is also subject to discrimination Because of discrimination, this group of men is forced to live in secret and isolate
Their ages range from 15 to 29 years old, accounting for 0.58% of all men in Phnom Penh who are in the same age group.
This exploratory study is composed of a sample of 30 young MSMW, ages 18-30, who are at-risk for HIV transmission.
In our study, at-risk MSMW are defined as menwho (1) have had sex with at least one male and at least one female partner in the past twelve months, (2) have used condoms inconsistently with these sexual partners, and (3) identify as African-American, Black, or of African descent.
Specifically, we anticipate that this pilot study will be the foundation from which to design a larger-scale research project on at-risk menwho have sex with both men and women, with the ultimate goal of developing and testing risk-reduction/prevention interventions for this population.
Almost 10% of menwho said they were straight had had sex with at least one man during the last twelve months, according to a new study carried out by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
In fact, the researchers found that straight menwho had had sex with another man during the previous year were less likely to use a condom than gaymenwho had had sex with another man during the previous year.
A large proportion of the straight menwho had had sex with another man were either of low economic or educational status, were foreign born and lived outside the Manhattan area.
Reuters Health) - A recent nationwide survey shows that a larger proportion of men say they are having sex with other men than in the 1980s, although whether that trend stems from an increase in same-sex activity or an increased willingness to report it remains unclear.
As such, society is still far from being 100% accepting of homosexuality, Anderson noted, so even the current estimates of how many men have sex with men are likely too low.
In an interview with Reuters Health, Anderson explained that it is important to search for accurate estimates of how many men have sex with men, because they tend to have a higher risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections than other groups.
Some men with diabetes -- as well as men without diabetes -- develop a condition known as retrograde ejaculation.
Since most men with diabetes are already at significantly increased risk for heart disease, it's important to be sure the drug is safe for you before trying it, and to report any unexpected side effects when they occur.
Men of any age can still have erections, but erections may be less firm or last for shorter periods of time.
Safer sex scenarios are demonstrated by gaymen of various ethnicities and backgrounds in intimate settings.
The video acknowledges that some men prefer an open relationship or “playing the field.” Drinking and drug use are discussed in a nonjudgmental manner.
The video also addresses feelings of invulnerability to HIV that many young gaymen experience, which can lead to sexual risk taking; and the thoughts and feelings of HIV-positive men in regard to the responsibility they feel that they have to protect themselves and others.
The purpose of this study is to see if a behavioral intervention, a special kind of counseling, can reduce the risk of HIV infection in menwho have sex with men.
Are an HIV-negative man who has had anal sex with another man in the 12 months prior to study entry.
Effects of a behavioural intervention to reduce acquisition of HIV infection among menwho have sex with men: the EXPLORE randomised controlled study.
A recent nationwide survey shows that a larger proportion of men say they are having sex with other men than in the 1980s, although whether that trend stems from an increase in same-sex activity or an increased willingness to report it remains unclear.
John E. Anderson of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta and his coauthor found that surveys collected since 1996 showed that 3.1%-3.7% of men reported having had sex with another man during the previous year.
Therefore, even the current estimates of how many men have sex with men are likely too low.
The Associate WebMaster here is Scott Abraham, a survivor who knows from personal experience the healing power of survivors telling their stories to each other.
He has been courageous enough to author several "hot" stories that have appeared in MEN Magazine, in the hopes that "going public" with his story will help other men.
We invite men to contribute to this section with snippets of their own writing, that need not be "completed works," but that offer a glimpse into the complexity of the healing process.
