Most likely the victim has been handled roughly since the attack is about the abuser’s satisfaction, so the victim may also have difficulty in walking or sitting for long periods of time. Sexually transmitted diseases/infections and blood in the victim’s clothing are also signs of sexual abuse.
“The Aftermaths of Male Rape” Introduction Before, the subject of raping used to be considered highly egregious as well as a terrible incident. It was known that being sexually assaulted or raped is something, which can imprison and profoundly affect one’s happiness and health for years, that is involuntary as well as a frightful sexual act that no one, especially for men, would like to experience. For this matter, it was then taught to ceaselessly help and support those who have gone through that terrible experience until they become fully recovered mentally and physically. But today, the beliefs, including the consequences, are different. What used to facilitate the recovery of a male rape victim from irrepressible emotions and illnesses that often derive from the incident have now become either additional burden(s) or more dangerous.

For example, a person that has been raped and is wearing sexy clothing. During the police interview the officer will make a comment about what they are wearing making the victim fell like it is his or her fault because of their clothing. They suffer from long-term stress long after the victimization is over. Some victims get so stressed and depressed that they suffer from a condition called post-traumatic stress disorder. Post-traumatic stress disorder is a psychological reaction to a highly stressful event; systems include depression, anxiety, flashbacks of the victimization and also nightmares about it.
An individual who has been a victim of rape instantly feels an interruption of her life and coping skills. As a result her ego can suffer a disruption as well. To achieve integration once again she must find a solution to her lack of trust in men, guilt and paranoia. Two models of therapies being review are client-centered approach and existential therapy. These two models are proposed for measurement the victim’s recuperation and adaptive behavior (HI, E.1978).
Female rape would be conceptualized as acquaintance rape, also more frequently than male rape. Finally, the third hypothesis was that females will describe an acquaintance rape if asked to describe a male or female rape situation. Men however, will reproduce a stranger rape situation when asked to describe a male or female rape situation. To test these hypotheses the researchers asked 119 participants to describe a situation where a rape took place. They also informed the participant, by random assignment, whether the victim of rape of the situation was male or female.

We often judge people by their acts, but most of the time we don’t know that something might have happened in their past for them to act the way they do. For example we have Evey in V for Vendetta. Evey confronted a rapid change from innocence to maturity which makes her do something unexpected in the world, however, she had reasons for it: she almost gets raped, was mistreated for days and V left her in charge of his plans when he died. Eventually Evey’s loss of innocence leads her to understanding the real purpose of V’s acts. Evey’s loss of innocence forced her to undergo many unfortunate situations.
