Unfortunately, in Kwuait, DAILY there is at least 1 report of a boy being raped by a man or group of men, or at least an attempt to do such.
There is more man-to-man rape reported in the newspapers in Kuwait (at least in the English language newspapers) than there is man-to-woman rape, and the man-to-woman rape is generally maids or nannies getting raped by a member of their Kuwaiti sponsor's family or other male household workers (as in, right in their own home).
I don't proclaim to know the reason, but given the fact that the majority of people out-and-about are men and boys (the women are more often at home or in the modern malls/restaurants, not the street areas), I guess that makes young men and boys easier targets for a rapist, whether they are gay or just "opportunists".
Since it is well known that a boy who is molested is more likely to become a molester himself as he grows, it seems to be a perpetual problem. This is especially so in a place like Kuwait where the idea of psychologists and counselors is foreign and not accepted, so these poor victims have no way to learn that they WERE true victims and that they can learn how to behave appropriately.
