[TheTashiTaylor]

Bludy hell thats a lot of raping also men get raped o.O didnt know that gay sex or straight?

[Piercetp]

Sorry I stand corrected, the video did mention male rape.

I think the general idea is that rape is wrong whoever does it and whoever is the victim.

[Piercetp]

Its interesting but lacks gender neutrality. Males can be raped or molested. This is especially true of children, mentally ill or gay men in abusive relationships. Its also common in prisons and jails.
