Ivo Procházka, Prague (Czechia):
The Experiences of Gay Czech Men with Sexual Victimization.
The frequency of experiences with inadequate sexual behaviour was investigated within the sample of 194 homosexual men who completed the anonymous questionnaires published in a gay journal. 39 men (20 percent of the sample) have experienced sexual abuse in their childhood, 23 men (12 percent) have met with sexual violence and 32 men (16 percent) have had any sexual activity with the person with the higher social position (sexual harassment). Those with one experice in the past were prone to be victimized by some other form of sexual inadequate behaviour. The negative influence of these experiences for the psychosocial development and possible risk of HIV infection are discussed.
