female-on-male rape

Female-on-male rape refers to non-consensual sexual activity forced upon a male by a female perpetrator. This act is often referred to as 'reverse rape' due to the reversal of traditional gender roles in rape scenarios. Female-on-male rape can encompass various forms of sexual assault including penetration and other forms of unwanted touching or penetration without consent. However, it remains underreported and under-researched compared to male-on-female rape, partly due to societal stigma surrounding men as potential victims. Furthermore, there are additional cultural factors that may further complicate understanding and reporting of this form of violence.
