本研究报告了634名同性恋和双性恋男性的社区样本中儿童和成人性受害率，并研究了具有不同性受害历史的男性如何比较一些与健康相关的结果。结果表明，男性与历史的儿童和成人的性受害者更有可能报告的物质使用，更多的终身性传播感染，更高的性强迫分数，更大的同性恋相关的耻辱分数比男性没有性受害的历史。根据首次性受害的年龄（童年与成年）比较健康结果时发现差别不大。此外，男性与性受害的历史报告健康的应对技能比男性没有性受害的历史，但没有显着的群体差异被发现在社会支持或压力相关的增长。研究结果强调了在咨询过程中评估性少数男性终身性受害的重要性，特别注意加强那些有危险的有害行为和随后的不良健康结果的保护因素。
This study reports rates of childhood and adult sexual victimization among a community sample of 634 gay and bisexual-identified men, and examines how men with differing sexual victimization histories compare on a number of health-related outcomes. Results indicate that men with histories of childhood and adult sexual victimization are more likely to report substance use, more lifetime STIs, higher sexual compulsivity scores, and greater gay-related stigma scores than men with no histories of sexual victimization. Few differences are found in comparisons of health outcomes based on age at first sexual victimization (childhood vs. adulthood). Furthermore, men with histories of sexual victimization report healthier coping skills than men with no histories of sexual victimization, but no significant group differences are found in social support or stress-related growth. Findings underscore the importance of assessing lifetime sexual victimization among sexual minority men during counseling, with special attention given to the enhancement of protective factors among those at risk for harmful behaviors and subsequent poor health outcomes.
