性暴力: 強姦: 男性受害人: 幫助受害人 1

如果受害人是男性，就幫助女性強姦受害人所列舉的那些方法同樣適用於他們。在受到人身的性攻擊之後也要盡可能快地設法：

這些要儘快處理的步驟一旦完成，強姦受害人應該尋求諮詢服務，因為心理創傷可能非常嚴重，並持續很久。受害人不應該設法獨自去自我消解。男性受害人也可能體驗與女性受害人一樣的痛苦：神經緊張、憂慮、痛苦經歷浮現、失眠、反復做惡夢、情感孤僻和萎靡消沉。簡而言之，他們遭受著“強姦創傷綜合征（rape trauma syndrome）”的煎熬，第一時相類似於臨床休克，接下來的時相是創傷後心理壓力失調（post-traumatic stress disorder，PTSD）。

但是，因為受害人和強姦犯都是男性，男性受害人除了遭受這些心理失調以外，他們常常面臨一些特殊的困境。

Sexual Violence: Rape: Male Victims: Helping the Victims 1

What has been said about helping female rape victims is also true if the victims are male. As soon as possible after the assault, they should also try to

• get to a safe place,
• seek medical help and secure the physical evidence,
• report the crime to the police and help them to arrest the rapist.

Once these immediate steps have been taken, rape victims should seek counseling, because the psychological trauma can be severe and long-lasting. A victim should not try to deal with it alone. Male victims may also experience the same problems as female victims: Nervousness, anxiety, flashbacks, sleeplessness, recurrent nightmares, emotional isolation, and depression. In short, they also may suffer from a “Rape Trauma Syndrome” which, in its first phase, resembles a medical shock and, in its second phase, a post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
However, in addition to this, male rape victims often face special difficulties, because both the victim and the rapist were males.
