Men can be raped. Any person irrespective of their gender can be raped. As a guy who was sexually abused, I'm tired of people telling me otherwise.

Thank you so much. I used to forgive this person when I was a kid but now that im older and realize how f’ed up everything was and how it still impacts my relationships today... It hurts man. I protected them and didnt fully understand what happened till 13 years later. It made me believe everything that was done to me was right and ok to do to others when I was a kid... but I then realized quickly that it never was okay. I feel so sick and twisted when I think about how I let someone mess with me, lead me astray and hurt other people... someone who I thought was my brother. Thank you for your condolences. Im doing alot better today but every once in a while I think about this...
