Coerced Sex Not Uncommon for Young Men, Teenage Boys, Study Finds [View all]

http://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2014/03/coerced-sex.aspx

I would not have been surprised to see numbers on parity with what young women report at 1/6-1/4 depending on whose numbers you find more credible. 43% however is a big freaking number.

Unfortunately we have almost no historical context in which to examine this study so we don't know which way these numbers are trending which I think would also be a fascinating data point.

Like with men "seducing" women, there are plenty of scenarios that don't rise to the level of crime nomorenomore08 Apr 2014 #9
