I would say a general 'I agree' to most of the comments regarding statistics and self-esteem in men vs women, etc. As an additional thought though, perhaps it's just that men might tend to choose other methods of SH, such as alcoholism (which I believe is higher in men), and engaging is dangerous activities/looking for fights etc. All these things are, in my mind, forms of SH, and I think that guys would be more likely to turn to those kind of things than actual self injury.
