Sexual abuse of male children is now believed to be common, and there may be links to adult psychiatric disorders.
Recollections of sexual experiences with adults in childhood were studied systematically in 115 men attending general practice surgeries and 100 male psychiatric patients.
The latter reported more frequent and more serious events before the age of 13 than the general practice attenders. No significant difference was detected for events between the ages of 13 and 15.
Childhood sexual abuse before the age of 13 may be associated with later psychiatric disorders, although the nature of the association remains uncertain. The possible significance of such experiences should be considered when assessing men with mental disorders.
现在人们认为男童遭受性虐待的情况很常见，并且这可能与成人精神障碍有关。
对115名到普通科诊所就诊的男性以及100名男性精神科患者进行了系统研究，以了解他们对童年时期与成年人的性经历的回忆。
与到普通科诊所就诊者相比，精神科患者报告在13岁之前发生的此类事件更为频繁且更为严重。在13岁至15岁之间发生的此类事件未发现显著差异。
13岁之前的童年性虐待可能与后期的精神障碍有关，尽管这种关联的性质尚不确定。在评估患有精神障碍的男性时，应考虑此类经历的潜在重要性。
