Sexual violence is an understudied issue in the population of gay and bisexual men, although the existing articles to date demonstrate that it is a problem that merits public attention. This study aims to approach the problem of invisibility around the matter, as well as presenting a number of variables that have been usually overlooked in Spanish research or have not been assessed at all. Lifetime sexual victimization, sociodemographic characteristics, situational characteristics and social support were examined among 550 gay and bisexual males living in Spain using a self-administrated questionnaire. Results analysis show that 90.00% (87.18-92.38%) of participants reported at least one experience of unwanted insinuation, 87.27% (84.19-89.94%) reported at least one experience of sexual coercion, 64.00% (59.83-68.02%) reported at least one experience of sexual assault, and specifically 19.82% (16.57-23.40%) reported being raped during their lifetime. Significant differences have been found between some categories regarding gender identity, sexual orientation, age, race/ethnicity and educational level. Overall, these results showcase sexual violence as a pervasive problem in the Spanish gay and bisexual community.
性暴力在男同性恋者和双性恋男性群体中是一个研究不足的问题,尽管迄今为止现有的文章表明这是一个值得公众关注的问题。本研究旨在探讨围绕该问题的隐匿性问题,并呈现一些在西班牙研究中通常被忽视或根本未被评估的变量。使用一份自填式问卷,对居住在西班牙的550名男同性恋者和双性恋男性的终身性受害经历、社会人口学特征、情境特征和社会支持进行了调查。结果分析表明,90.00%(87.18 - 92.38%)的参与者报告至少有一次 unwanted insinuation经历,87.27%(84.19 - 89.94%)报告至少有一次性胁迫经历,64.00%(59.83 - 68.02%)报告至少有一次性侵犯经历,具体而言,19.82%(16.57 - 23.40%)报告在其一生中曾被强奸。在性别认同、性取向、年龄、种族/民族和教育水平等某些类别之间发现了显著差异。总体而言,这些结果表明性暴力在西班牙男同性恋和双性恋社区中是一个普遍存在的问题。 (注:“unwanted insinuation”这个表述不太常见,可能是特定语境下的专业术语或存在一定错误,这里直接保留英文未翻译)
