Title. The guys who made posts and threads on gay rape being much worse than heterosexual one just got vindicated once again.
There are a lot of studies differentiating people's claimed experiences of sexual coercion by the tactic used, the relationship between the perpetrator and the victim, the genders of the people involved, and so on, but apparently, only a minority of studies where those criteria are combined. Turns out, when you do this and look at both the genders and tactics, male-on-male sexual assault/coercion is much more likely to involve either physical force or incapacitation via alcohol or drugs.
Even more interestingly, it seems that, regardless of the perpetrator's gender, using alcohol or drugs as a tactic is more common in general if the victim is a man, so both women and men doing this to men are more likely to use this tactic than people forcing women into sex.
Which is important, since while there are four main groups of tactics for sexual coercion acknowledged in this type of research (and by mostly feminist scholars I'd imagine
), not all of them are equally illegal:
And it just so seems that, according to those attorneys, it is exactly the explicitly illegal sexual assault tactics that men more often encounter, rather than simply sexual coercion ones

Similarly, there seemed to be an interaction between gender of the perpetrator and gender of the victim in relation to explicit non-consent (i.e., use of force, threat of force, or ignoring a direct refusal). Specifically, MSM were most likely to endorse items in this category, and WSM were the least likely. This is consistent with the findings of Krahe and Berger (2013) who found that physical force was the most common tactic reported by men who have sex with men, whereas sex through incapacitation from drugs or alcohol was the most common tactic reported by men who have sex with women.
Even more interestingly, it seems that, regardless of the perpetrator's gender, using alcohol or drugs as a tactic is more common in general if the victim is a man, so both women and men doing this to men are more likely to use this tactic than people forcing women into sex.
For example, group differences in the category of impaired ability to consent seemed to reflect the gender of the victim more than the gender of the perpetrator. WSM were more likely to endorse that category of tactics than MSW and than WSW, and MSM were marginally (although not significantly) more likely to endorse that category as compared MSW and WSW, suggesting that individuals of any gender may be more willing to use these tactics on men than on women.

In a pilot study, items for the SISS were presented to 28 prosecuting attorneys from around the United States (Peterson et al., 2022), and attorneys were asked to indicate which items describe a behavior that would constitute an illegal sexual offense in their state. For the current studies, items that were judged as illegal by at least 80% of U.S. attorneys in Peterson et al. (2022) were considered “sexual assault” items. Other items were “sexual coercion” items.
One version assesses experiences with sexual victimization—including victimization through sexual coercion (i.e., sexual acts obtained through pressure or manipulation) and sexual assault (i.e., sexual acts obtained through incapacitation from drugs or alcohol or threat or use of physical force).
