A Reddit user has revealed that he was raped by a woman and after finding out his girlfriend accused him of cheating on her

He writes: All your advice will be much appreciated. I don't want to go into too much detail but I got too drunk at a party my gf and I were attending, and she left a bit early with her friend who was unwell.

'I don't usually get drunk and I'm a bit of a light weight so as it was getting late I just crashed in one of the bedrooms upstairs.

'Later on at some time I'm not sure of I wake and someone is on top of me. I was extremely groggy and as soon I realised it wasn't [my gf] I began to panic. I couldn't really move and I think my body just froze?

'Like I really wanted to scream but nothing came out and she wouldn't get off me. I swear I tried. I feel sick and disgusted with myself. I don't know this girl and I could've probably put a stop to it had I not reacted like I did. I admit that much is my own fault. I woke up and it seems a bit unclear now but I cried when I got home and I thought of what the hell I needed to do while I took a shower.'

He goes on to explain that someone at the party saw the act take place and informed his girlfriend who went on to block his number and he has since received 'unpleasant' messages from mutual friends.

He continues: '(My girlfriend) is the person I go to when something is wrong and I can't get through to her. Her sister is my best friend and she won't talk to me and hates me now.

He took to the social media site to appeal for help and advice on how he could get his girlfriend to believe him

'The only other person I trust is her mum but I just can't bring myself to tell anyone what happened. They would laugh. I'm a big guy and no one would believe me. I feel horrible and I can't stop crying. I'm alone. The person I love most wants nothing to do with me and believes I would cheat on her. I wouldn't and never wanted to.

'I would go to the police but they probably wouldn't take me seriously and I can't picture her face properly anyway. Is there anything I can do?'

The post attracted has more than 3,000 views and it wasn't long before a flood of supportive messages came through with the majority encouraging him to go to the police.

One user wrote: 'Go to the police man. Someone made you do something you didn't want to do sexually.

'You never said yes. Please get over the stigma that you can't be raped bc you're male. Please try not to care that people might laugh. This is your life, you should be in control of what happens to it.'

MALE RAPE: THE FACTS A study conducted in England has found that 3 per cent of males surveyed had experienced non-consensual sex as adults. Police crime figures for England and Wales show there were 3,580 rapes against men in 2014. Although the majority of perpetrators are male, men can be sexually abused by women. However this is not defined as rape under UK law. Erection and ejaculation are physiological responses that can result from physical contact and even extreme stress. They don't imply the victim experienced pleasure. Advertisement

Some posters came forward to share their own harrowing stories of male rape in a hope to encourage the victim to seek further help.

One man recalled: 'Back in my early college days, I was at a party with a large group of friends and had too much to drink. I don't remember much other than wanting to go to bed, so I left the party and went to my friends room.

'The next thing I remember is hearing my friend screaming, and waking up sitting on a toilet in a bathroom with a naked girl on me. I vaguely remember some commotion, and then it's all a blur again.

'I woke up the next day and my friend was asking me if I was ok. Apparently he went to use the bathroom and this girl had gotten me in there and forgotten to lock the door. My pants were around my ankles, she was naked from the waist down. According to my friend, I was completely unconscious and unresponsive.

'I was extremely shaken and didn't know what to do. Because I was a young guy and my friend said it didn't look like she'd actually had sex with me, I figured I was mostly ok and tried my best to shrug it off. I dealt with a lot of guilt and was really upset about the whole ordeal for some time afterwards.

'I couldn't get my head around how it was possible that I was erect when passed out, kept thinking I must have agreed to go into the bathroom with her, etc. It took a long time for me to realize that that girl assaulted me and put it behind me.'

After hearing others' experience with male rape the original poster later updated his readers to say he was planning to book a doctors appointment and has had a response from his girlfriend who has agreed to talk.
