Can guys be raped, too?

Yes.

Often, people hear “rape” or “sexual assault” and automatically think of a female victim and a male perpetrator. This isn’t always the case. Males can be raped. Regardless of how rape is defined legally, being forced to do something sexually that you did not agree to is not okay and can have lasting effects, regardless of your sex or the sex of the person who assaulted you.
