Some men who have survived sexual assault or abuse feel extreme shame and guilt
Believing that they had some control over the abuse or could have done more to stop it, many men who experienced a physical response during the abuse may be confused and question their sexual orientation. We want to reassure you that normal physical responses do not in any way imply that you wanted, invited, or enjoyed the abuse or assault. If something has happened to you, we believe that it is not your fault and you are not alone and will work with you to understand and overcome these feelings.
