Uganda (of course!). What a disgusting story - http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2011/jul/17/the-rape-of-men



Commas matter - 'Party on Dudes' is not the same as 'Party on, Dudes'

One wonders how, if this is not a natural behaviour, the rapist manages to become erect and maintain an erection.

Rape of men by men is a normal, albeit unpleasant, fact of life, not just in Uganda, but everywhere. It is simply not spoken about unless there are sufficient victims where one or more will speak out.

In the UK there used to be no crime called male rape. None. Other things were used as charges, including 'committing an act of gross indecency'.

You may wish to refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male_rape#Rape_of_males_by_males You will see that this article has already been added as a reference.

We should not be particularly shocked by male/male rape, nor, I submit, shocked by male/female rape or other rapes. My perspective on this is that rape is a brutal and unpleasant physical assault. That sex is involved ought to be irrelevant. Brutality is brutality whether it involves a penis or not.
