Re:Important Site for Male Sexual Abuse

Thank you. This looks like a good resource. I was impressed by their "myths" page, which for example pointed out ("The Vampire Myth") that being abused as a boy does not by itself make that boy an abusive man when he grows up.

They claim that research shows that telling about, being listened to, and being supported regarding the abuse is what makes the biggest difference in whether the exploitive behavior will be carried forward by the victim themself later in life. I don't know how well established that is, but it makes sense that being unable to understand what was going on and living with it as a secret would be a huge factor.
