“…Focusing on the complement of this statistic, approximately two-thirds of participants who reported any lifetime USE indicated female perpetrators only. Related research based on two community samples of young heterosexual men in Germany found that 25.1-30.1% of participants had experienced female-perpetrated USE and that most men described these incidents as “moderately upsetting” (Krahé, Scheinberger-Olwig, & Bieneck, 2003); as emphasized by the authors of this study, it is unclear whether these findings (and similar earlier findings in the literature) reflect a genuine lack of strong adverse effects, or denial/minimization. A possible contributing factor is the inclusion of relatively “minor” incidents, such as forced kisses, in some USE definitions (Peterson et al, 2011).…”

The public health problem of unwanted sexual experiences (USE) in male youths has received little attention. In this study, we examined prevalence of USE, risk factors, contexts, and barriers to disclosure with data from a quantitative survey of students enrolled in General Education courses at a public university in Chile. This study focused on the male sample (N = 466). Approximately 20.4% of participants reported some form of USE since age 14. Forced sex through physical coercion, forced sex through verbal coercion or while intoxicated, attempted forced sex, and less severe forms of USE were reported by 0.2%, 10.1%, 1.4%, and 8.7% of participants, respectively. USE before age 14 was reported by 9.4% of participants and was a significant predictor of USE since age 14 (AOR 6.38, 95% CI 3.22–12.65, p < .01). The perpetrator of USE since age 14 was most commonly identified as a date/partner or friend/acquaintance; other findings on contexts and barriers to disclosure were also generally consistent with previous results in the literature. In addition, we found substantial co-occurrence of USE since age 14 with two other forms of coercion: physical dating violence victimization and coerced condom non-use. The study findings indicate a need for further attention to these public health problems and have implications for the development of violence and HIV/STI prevention programs for adolescent boys and young adult men in Chile and elsewhere.

“…Researchers who focused on male (and female) sexual victimization ( Hartwick et al, 2007 ; Krahé, Scheinberger-Olwig, & Bieneck, 2003 ), female sexual perpetration ( Krahé, Waizenhöfer, & Möller, 2003 ), and tactics of sexual coercion ( Struckman-Johnson et al, 2003 ) also indicated that coercion strategies are commonly used by female offenders on male victims. Overall, women use gentler or less exploitative tactics against men in comparison to male offenders ( Krahé, Waizenhöfer, et al, 2003 ; Struckman-Johnson et al, 2003 ).…”

“…Overall, women use gentler or less exploitative tactics against men in comparison to male offenders ( Krahé, Waizenhöfer, et al, 2003 ; Struckman-Johnson et al, 2003 ). Exploiting a victim’s incapacitated state is one such coercion strategy that is frequently reported by female offenders ( Hartwick et al, 2007 ; Krahé, Scheinberger-Olwig, et al, 2003 ) as is verbal pressure using the tactics of sexual arousal and repeated requests ( Hartwick et al, 2007 ; Krahé, Scheinberger-Olwig, et al, 2003 ; Krahé, Waizenhöfer, et al, 2003 ; Struckman-Johnson et al, 2003 ).…”

Sexual victimization is typically presented as a gender-based problem involving a female victim and a male offender. Science, policy, and society focus on female victims at the expense of male victims. Male sexual victimization is thus understudied compared with female sexual victimization. By performing a critical interpretive synthesis of research papers, policy documents, and gray literature ( N = 67) published in four electronic databases from January 2000 through September 2017, this article establishes the prevalence of male sexual victims and the causes that underlie the underrepresentation of this group in existing research and current policy. The prevalence rates of male sexual victims vary considerably, with up to 65% of men reporting sexual victimization. The underrepresentation of male victims was found to be rooted in prevailing gender roles and accepted sexual scripts in society, together with rape myths and stereotypical rape scripts. The former prescribes men as the dominant and sexually active gender. The latter denies male sexual victimization and frames women as “ideal victims.” Combined, these prevailing societal perceptions of men, male sexuality, and sexual victimization prevent men from self-identifying as victims and inhibit them from seeking help to cope with the adverse consequences of sexual victimization. Addressing the gender differences in sexual victimization requires societal and political changes that challenge prevailing stereotypical perceptions of sexual victims. Such changes could result in improved support services for male sexual victims.

“…Most relevant to the current research question, future research may benefit by examining the association between sexual narcissism and sexual aggression by women. Although women perpetrate sexual aggression much less frequently than men, they do perpetrate (e.g., Anderson & Aymami, 1993; Krahe, Scheinberger-Olwig, & Bieneck, 2003; Struckman-Johnson & Struckman-Johnson, 1994), and sexual narcissism may explain at least part of such perpetration. Recent research by Hines (2007) revealed that females were most likely to engage in sexually aggressive behavior in cultures that provide women greater possibilities of social power.…”

Sexual Narcissism and the Perpetration of Sexual Aggression

Despite indirect evidence linking narcissism to sexual aggression, studies directly examining this relationship have yielded inconsistent results. Likely contributing to such inconsistencies, prior research has used global measures of narcissism not sensitive to whether the components of narcissism are activated in sexual versus non-sexual domains. The current research avoided such problems by using a measure of sexual narcissism to predict sexual aggression. In a sample of 299 men and women, Study 1 validated the Sexual Narcissism Scale, a new sexuality research instrument with four subscales—Sexual Exploitation, Sexual Entitlement, Low Sexual Empathy, and Sexual Skill. Then, in a sample of 378 men, Study 2 demonstrated that sexual narcissism was associated with reports of the frequency of sexual aggression, three specific types of sexual aggression (unwanted sexual contact, sexual coercion, and attempted/completed rape), and the likelihood of future sexual aggression. Notably, global narcissism was unrelated to all indices of sexual aggression when sexual narcissism was controlled. That sexual narcissism outperformed global assessments of narcissism to account for variance in sexual aggression suggests that future research may benefit by examining whether sexual narcissism and other sexual-situation-specific measurements of personality can similarly provide a more valid test of the association between personality and other sexual behaviors and outcomes (e.g., contraceptive use, infidelity, sexual satisfaction).
