Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multiple studies have shown that male victims of rape are at higher risk for suicidal ideation and attempts compared to female victims.

Answer: D
 Research suggests that male rape involves more physical violence and use of weapons compared to female rape. This may be due to societal attitudes about masculinity and the belief that men are less vulnerable to sexual violence.

Note: Choice B is incorrect as there is not a significant difference in age between male and female victims of rape. Choice C is not entirely accurate as some male rape may involve penetration, even if the victim does not achieve an erection due to fear or trauma.
