Psychiatric evaluations of nonincarcerated adult male victims of same-
sex rape have been reported infrequently in the literature. In their work
with a population of military men, the authors reviewed the psychiatric
evaluations of 13 such victims, ages 18 to 31, over a 2- year period. Most
of the men reported mood disturbances (e.g., fear, depression, anger),
somatic disturbances (e.g., in sleep, appetite, digestion), and
difficulties in peer relationships following the assault, and almost half
of these victims reported that they had experienced subsequent sexual
problems.
