被禁止的性行为与性暴力

性暴力: 强奸: 男性受害人: 帮助受害人 3

对于异性恋的（straight，-直的）男性强奸受害人来说，所受到的伤害常常特别严重。这种创伤体验的结果是，他们可能开始对自己的性取向提出疑问。因而，他们可能觉得人身的性攻击方面比所伴随的暴力更加地让他们烦心。为了缓解他们的内心冲突，他们需要知识帮助和待援的咨询师的帮助。

实际上，所有的强奸受害人都需要咨询服务，不仅需要解决他们的心理障碍，而且需要解决他们的实际问题。首先，他们必须在他人的帮助下明白“所发生的强奸并不是他们的过错”，并且他们不应为违背他们意愿的所作所为承担任何责任。其次，他们必须要得到专业的帮助来缓解他们的全部心理压力，而且必须要开始并逐步深入进行心理康复疗程。家人和朋友也需要提供不间断的无条件的后援帮助。

最后，这里必须有针对性地处理一些非常具体的担忧事项，例如可能伴随的性传播疾病的感染问题。一些性传播疾病并不会马上呈现出临床症状。尤其是HIV/AIDS的感染就更是如此。所以，强奸受害人必需得到多种可能感染的临床检验，在一些案例则需要重复检验和持续较长的时间。这些措施同样要运用于监狱强奸的受害人。虽然囚犯强奸案并不占男性强奸案的大多数，然而它成了一个迫切需要处理的严重的社会问题。不过，我们应该明白，这种类型的强奸并不是一个同性恋的问题，因为大多数囚犯都有异性恋的性取向。与之认识所不同的是，它是一个在封闭的机构里普遍存在的人身暴力伤害的问题。事情再明显不过了，每一个囚犯和狱警都要为监狱的同囚犯的人身安全负责，他们都要为没有遵守狱规和恪守职责负责。在许多国家，现在出现了一些敦促行政当局担负这种义务的民间组织。

Prohibited Sexual Behavior and Sexual Violence

Sexual Violence: Rape: Male Victims: Helping the Victims 3

For “straight” (heterosexual) male rape victims the trauma is often especially severe. As a result of the experience, they may begin to question their own sexual orientation. Thus, they may find the sexual aspect of the assault even more disturbing than the accompanying violence. In order to resolve their inner conflict, they need the help of knowledgeable and supportive counselors.
Actually, all male rape victims need counseling, not only for psychological problems, but also in practical matters. First of all, they must be made to understand that “it was not their fault”, and that they are not to blame for what was done to them against their will. Secondly, their overall psychological stress has to be dealt with, and a process of healing has to be initiated and helped along. Families and friends also need to offer continuing unconditional support.
Finally, some very concrete worries have to be addressed, for example the possible infection with a sexually transmitted disease. Some of these diseases do not show any immediate symptoms. This is especially true of an HIV/AIDS infection. Rape victims therefore need to be tested for a variety of possible infections, in some cases repeatedly and over a longer period of time. This also applies to victims of rape in prison. While prisoner rape does not constitute the majority of male rape cases, it is nevertheless in important social issue crying out to be addressed. It should be understood, however, that this type of rape is not a problem of homosexuality, because most prisoners have a heterosexual orientation. Instead, it is a widespread problem of physical violence in a closed institution. Quite clearly, every prison and detention facility is responsible for the physical safety of its inmates, a responsibility that is not always met. In many countries, there are now advocacy groups reminding the authorities of this obligation.
