Gay raping sex

A new report published by SurvivorsUK has found that nearly half of homosexual and bisexual men have experienced sexual assault.

The groundbreaking study is some of the first of its kind looking into gay and bisexual men’s trial of sexual force in the UK. The research, which was carried out by the polling company Survation and commissioned by SurvivorsUK, also found that of those who reported experiencing sexual violence, nearly 40% felt they could not tell anyone about it.

Reporting rates amongst gay and bisexual men are also particularly short, with only 14% of respondents who experienced sexual assault saying that they had reported it to the police.

Other key findings:

• 45% of gay and attracted to both genders men have experienced sexual assault.
• 37% of gay and fluid men felt they could not talk to anyone after experiencing sexual assault.
• Over a third of gay and double attraction men reported experiencing sexual assault in a bar or pub.
• Only 14% of respondents who experienced sexual assault reported it to the police. Of those who did notify to the police, nearly a third said they felt disbelieved or appreciate their complaint was not taken seriously.
• A quarter of respondents reported that an

  Understanding Intimate Partner Hostility in the LGBTQ+ People

  Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), also known as household violence, partner abuse, or dating violence, refers to the various means of control used by an abuser against their spouse in an intimate bond. According to the Centers for Disease Control, IPV includes many forms of abuse, including “physical force, sexual violence, stalking and psychological aggression (including coercive tactics) by a current or former intimate significant other (i.e., spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend, digital dating partner, or ongoing sexual partner).” Anyone—regardless of their identity, or that of their partner—can experience IPV.

  However, misogynist gender roles, racial/ethnic stereotypes and institutional discrimination, and economic insecurity, put certain segments of the population at greater risk, such as women, BIPOC people, those living in poverty, and younger adults. For LGBTQ+ people, these same social determinants compound with homophobic and transphobic stigma, creating even greater risk of IPV among the community.

  Sexual health for gay and bisexual men

  Having unprotected penetrative sex is the most likely way to pass on a sexually transmitted infection (STI).

  Using a condom helps protect against HIV and lowers the risk of getting many other STIs.

  If you’re a man having sex with men (MSM), without condoms and with someone new, you should acquire an STI and HIV examine every 3 months, otherwise, it should be at least once a year. This can be done at a sexual health clinic (SHC) or genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic. This is essential , as some STIs do not cause any symptoms.

  Hepatitis A

  Hepatitis A is a liver infection that's spread by a virus in poo.

  Hepatitis A is uncommon in the UK but you can acquire it through sex, including oral-anal sex ("rimming") and giving oral sex after anal sex. MSM with multiple partners are particularly at risk. You can also get it through contaminated nourishment and drink.

  Symptoms of hepatitis A can appear up to 8 weeks after sex and include tiredness and feeling sick (nausea).

  Hepatitis A is not usually life-threatening and most people make a complete recovery within a couple of months.

  MSM can avoid getting hepatitis A by:
