Male sexual abuse victim on 'this morning'

[Just.Lose.It.]

I saw this on 'This Morning' the other day but didn't actually get to watch it, as I was ill and fell asleep, but I've just remembered about it now and watched it. I've got to say it brought a tear to my eye. I'm so proud of this man, this is an issue that needs to be addressed more and he's brave to put himself out there to help others.
I've seen first hand this does to men, I've dealt with these issues, and it not nice. Obviously any sexual abuse is horrible and I'm not saying this is any worse than any other, but I do believe men are less likely to talk about it.
I just hope that one day everyone will be aware, and people will stop thinking they're not at risk just because they're male.

It was on the 4th of November Forest Fire ~ around 11.30 I think is usually the time they put those sort of items on so an hour in.

it even less likely that a male will speak out in regards to sexual abuse from a female which is sad because we seem to believe that females are incapable of rape, the stigmata that comes alongside such is appalling even worse is most police officers won't even take someones statement in relation to the matter.

I was sexually abused by my own sister.
