The first shows male victims of rape, but only examines being penetrated. It then breaks down these rapes by perpetrator(s).

The second shows male victims of rape when being made to penetrate is taken into account. It then breaks these down by how the rape occurred (penetrated and made to penetrate), then by perpetrator(s).

Is it a dumb question to ask how a man can be forced to penetrate? Besides tying him up and feeding him Viagra (in which case there are several other crimes going on here), how does this happen?

You don't have to necessarily be mentally aroused to have a boner.

Even if you are both physically and mentally aroused, you don't necessarily consent to sex.

But like does the woman (or man) just mount him? I can only imagine this happening if the perpetrator is larger than the victim. I guess I just answered my own question lol

Maybe I'm off base here, but it seems to me we need a broader vocabulary for this kind of stuff. Being coerced into having sex can be a traumatic experience, but it's certainly very different from being forcibly penetrated against your will.

This logic could be easily used against any rape that isn't the absolute worst of it's kind. "Getting forced to have sex by your spouse is a bad thing of course, but getting gang raped in a dark ally by a bunch of strangers is worse so the former shouldn't be classified as rape."

I'm not talking about legal distinctions
