Jim Hopper, M.A. has published this page: 1) To help those looking for Web resources on the sexual abuse of boys and the lasting effects of childhood sexual abuse in the lives of men. 2) To inform men who were sexually abused in childhood and want to know what professional researchers and therapists have learned, but who might not otherwise seek information in scholarly journals. 3)To help people understand how researchers come up with statistics on child sexual abuse, because the popular media foster confusion and most people don't read scholarly journals where researchers publish their work. The messages of this page for men who were sexually abused in childhood are: 1) You are not alone. 2) You can educate yourself. 3) Many others struggle with their masculinity too.
