Childhood sexual abuse for boys

Despite public opinion to the contrary, it most definitely exists and it is a problem. One study by the CDC found that 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys had experienced some form of unwanted sexual contact before age 16. The same study found that boys suffer similar long-term negative consequences to that of girls. Additionally, the CDC study kept track of the sex of the abusers and found that 40% of the abusers of the boys are women. This study is not isolated as there are several studies all reaching approximately the same conclusions.

This information has been out there for a while and yet popular media sources seem prone to simply ignore or even hide the suffering of boys. There is even one website which gives a rather extensive and unbiased look childhood victims of sexual assault that acknowledges boys fairly accurately. However, one of the studies they employ seems to suggest that of all the different categories of sexual abuse, ranging from the least intrusive of simple touching to the most intrusive of full rape, boys seems to suffer full on rape proportionally more than girls, yet the researchers seem to gloss over this little tidbit without a hint of curiosity as to why this would be. When you adjust the data to only look at the most intrusive form of sexual abuse, 1 in 14 girls and 1 in 14 boys experience the most intrusive form of sexual abuse before age 16. They're equal.
Imagine that.
