Childhood Molestation: Men

Men Get Abused Too. And They Deserve to Be Believed Too.

The silence around this is part of what makes it so heavy to carry

It's one of the most silenced experiences a man can go through

The confusion, the shame, the fear that no one will believe you or take it seriously. Maybe you've never told anyone

Maybe you've told yourself it wasn't "that bad," or that men aren't supposed to be affected this way. You are, and you're allowed to be.

Whatever the story is, you've likely never said the whole truth of it out loud to anyone. That silence has a weight of its own.

You're Not the Only One Who Feels This Way

Boys and men who've experienced molestation often carry a unique kind of isolation.

Fearing that speaking up will make them seem weak, or that it will be dismissed entirely because "that doesn't happen to men."

It does.

And it deserves to be taken exactly as seriously as it would for anyone else.

You don't have to have the "right" feelings about it. You just have to be honest.

What This Might Look Like For You

Confusion about identity, masculinity, or sexuality connected to what happened
Shame you've never spoken about to anyone
Fear that you won't be believed or taken seriously
Difficulty with trust, intimacy, or vulnerability in relationships
Anger that's shown up in ways you don't fully understand
A feeling that this "shouldn't" still be affecting you, even though it is

The Truth Underneath the Silence

What happened to you does not define your worth, your masculinity, or who you are.

It was not your fault, and it does not make you less of a man to say it hurt you.

The strength isn't in staying silent—it's in finally being honest about what you carried.

"One of my friends told me to call you since you're not shocked by anything being a Christian. She told me that you were easy to talk to and that I could trust you with my secrets. What was done to me is not even done to dogs! That gang rape in my high school football game really messed me up, and I felt so ashamed and angry for so many years. Thank you for helping me to heal and regain my confidence back. I'll never know why, but I now forgive them, and my life is so much better."
