Child sexual abuse may take many foms, but almost always it is accompanied by efforts by the person perpetrating the abuse to keep it a secret. The feelings of guilt and shame that a boy and man may experience can make it difficult to talk about what was done long after the abuse occurred.
Deciding to tell, to break the secret, can be a significant step for many men in their journey towards reclaiming their lives from the abuse. Read "Men and disclosure - deciding to tell".
It is possible to deal with the effects of childhood sexual abuse. Read "Dealing with childhood sexual abuse".
If you know someone who has experienced childhood sexual abuse and would like to undestand more about how to assist them, the "Men's Disclosure: How can you help" page may be useful.
