Unfortunately, incidents of rape and molestation are not uncommon in our country. Flip over the pages of newspapers and you will come across a number of such incidents almost every other day. When we talk about molestation or sexual abuse, people mostly hear cases where victims are female. However, there are many cases when men are molested too. Sexual violence is, in fact, is gender agnostic.
While cases, where women are molested, are often reported, due importance is not given to male molestation. It is because of this may be that many men find it difficult to express their trauma explicitly.
Male molestation is no less a taboo, and it’s time we start talking about it.
We went through some personal accounts that people have shared on Quora about their ordeal. Have a look:
#1
A child of just 5 or 6 years of age was molested by a male servant at home. Such incidents in early childhood not only hamper a child’s development but also give rise to a feeling of perpetual fear.
“He used me to give him blowjobs. This happened to me many a times and I use to feel terribly sick due to this and vomit after these incidents.”
