I wanted all male survivors of abuse to know that they are not alone. There are other men out there who have been abused sexually by other men and women. It does not mean that you are any less of a man. It does not mean you are a wimp because you are feeling overwhelmed. You are only human and you are allowed to be hurt despite what our society tells you. It is better to allow yourself to feel hurt, powerless, dirty, angry, and out of control than to hold all those feelings inside. You end up taking out on yourself and others in ways that you are not aware of. I also want to believe that men can overcome the pain that rape causes. There are several links for men that I posted on my web-page. The links "for women" are helpful for men too. Male and female survivors suffer from similar issues. Please know that you are not alone.
