Males at Risk is a first rate resource for therapists, for men who have been mistreated sexually in their family of origin , and for the general public. The authors are to be commended for their very detailed and subtle typology of different kinds of family sexual environments--from the ideal to the horrible, with many gradations in-between. This kind of intelligent discussion has been missing in the lay literature, making it look as if the only kind of family negative experiences which could have impacted men with low desire, erection disorders, premature ejaculation, and chronic pain disorders would be repeated experiences of overt, violent rape. Because of male socialization to be tough and to not complain, many men who have had different kinds of unhealthy sexual experiences in their family completely minimize the what happened to them.
This book will be a godsend to them, and to their therapists.

This book gave me a lot of insight into the issue of male sexual misuse. This issues is hardly ever discussed as opposed to female sexual abuse. It has been a great learning tool in my learning of this problem. thank you
