Physical effects Sexual abuse results in severe emotional and often physical trauma. Among sexual assault victims over 18, 31.5% of females and 16.1% of<unk>  said that they incurred non-genital injuries from the assault.<unk> victims received more ancillary injuries and were more likely to be threatened with a weapon by the perpetrator. The symptoms and injuries most frequently noted are tension headaches, ulcers, nausea, colitis, abrasions to the throat, black eyes and broken bones. The study by Stermac and colleagues (2004) noted that 45% of<unk> victims who went to a hospital sexual assault centre had some type of physical injury (25% soft tissue injury, 20% lacerations). The data from hospital emergency rooms show that<unk> unk>  victims are more likely to have non-genital injuries than females, and that they are more likely to neglect seeking medical attention if the injuries are not significant. Hodge and Canter (1998) report that homosexual<unk> victims are more likely to sustain serious injuries than heterosexual<unk> victims. Sometimes victims become infected by a sexually transmitted disease as the result of<unk> , but it is infrequent and includes only a small portion of<unk> victims. Psychological effects<unk>  victims,<unk>  and females, may find it difficult to report the sexual assault against them. There is a myth that a<unk> sexual assault victim will become a perpetrator themselves. This myth is very damaging to victims, both to their mental states and to how people treat them. Elizabeth Donovan, a psychotherapist, stated that<unk>  have the added burden of facing a society that does not believe that<unk>  can happen to them at all. The social stigmatization of<unk> victims is also damaging and has been described as 'secondary victimization'. It has been linked to the under-reporting of<unk>  and post-rape trauma;<unk> victims are also susceptible to post-traumatic stress disorder. Some studies have found that some victims chose not to report their assaults as they fear being labelled as a ‘closet homosexual’, bisexual, or as promiscuous. Regarding the blaming of victims of<unk> , researchers, in 1993, conducted an experiment and found that a statistically significant proportion of<unk>  tend to blame the victim, even when the<unk>  victim was a<unk>  Long-term effects Compared to men who have not been sexually assaulted, men who were sexually assaulted before age 18 have a greater risk of having mental health problems, including symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and depression; alcoholism and drug abuse; suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts; problems in intimate relationships; and underachievement at school and at work. Because of gender expectations, being a<unk> child victim of sexual abuse can lead to: #Pressure to prove his manhood physically and sexually (becoming stronger and engaging in dangerous or violent behavior; having multiple female sexual partners). #Confusion over gender and sexual identity. #Sense of being an inadequate man. #Sense of lost power, control, and confidence to his manhood. #Problems with closeness and intimacy. #Sexual problems. #Fear of becoming 'homosexual' or 'gay'. #Homophobia. Suicide possibility The suicide rate for sexually abused<unk>  is 14 to 15 times higher than for other<unk> . McDonald and Tijerino found in their research that some participants state that there were occasions on which they felt so bad that they engaged in self-harming behaviors, including suicide attempts, and/or had suicidal thoughts. There is also a study that shows that<unk>  victims are 4.1 times more likely to contemplate suicide and 13 times more likely to attempt suicide than non-crime victims.<unk>  have a much higher rate of suicide than females. One common explanation relies on the social constructions of hegemonic masculinity and femininity. In a review of the literature on gender and suicide,<unk> suicide rates were explained in terms of traditional gender roles.<unk> gender roles tend to emphasize greater levels of strength, independence, and risk-taking behavior. Reinforcement of this gender role often prevents<unk>  from seeking help for suicidal feelings and depression. Healing therapy Sexual assault victims need extensive emotional and psychological healing after the raping, but<unk> survivors are not likely to speak out their cases. Elizabeth Donovan, a psychotherapist, said;<unk>  have the added burden of facing a society that doesn't believe<unk>  can happen to them ... at all."
