 AB    One-hundred-and-fifty male patients who attended the department of
       genitourinary medicine (GUM) completed a questionnaire which enquired
       into a past history of sexual assault and asked certain details about
       the assault and various sequelae of such an experience. Twenty-one men
       gave a history of sexual assault, 11 of whom had been abused before the
       age of 16, 7 afterwards and 3 in both age groups. Victims of such an
       assault were more likely to be homosexual or bisexual than heterosexual.
       The substantial majority i.e. 104 (81%) of the 129 patients who had not
       been assaulted in the past had been brought up by both natural parents.
       However, of the 21 males who reported a history of previous sexual abuse
       only 11 (52%) had been raised by both natural parents alone and 9 of the
       remaining 10 who divulged such information had been brought up in other
       circumstances. The association between not being raised entirely by both
       natural parents and a history of previous sexual assault was significant
       (P < 0.01). Overall, physical contact of a sexual nature was the most
       commonly reported type of abuse, followed by anal and then by oral
       penetration. All of the perpetrators of assault were male except in one
       instance. Only 3 cases of assault were reported to the police or other
       agencies. Those who had been abused as minors were more likely to
       acknowledge subsequent psychological difficulties and to have obtained
       professional counselling. This problem is a significant one which goes
       largely undetected in GUM departments and elsewhere.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED
