I have a friend, a twenty-two year old male. He and I have a pretty solid group of buddies. We’ve known each other for a long time now. About a week ago, our group went out drinking. We enjoy ourselves, laugh a lot, drink a lot–the usual. Then this friend of mine decides to talk to us about the time his female basketball coach touched him inappropriately when he was very young. He wouldn’t go into the details of it, but I swear, I could see how difficult it was for him let it all out. I was about to reach out and comfort him when the rest of our friends just laugh at him. They tell him he was lucky since he “got some” really early in life. I was pissed. Ever since that night, this friend of mine has become more reserved. He’s spending less time with us and he just isn’t the same guy anymore. The whole thing has taken a toll on him and I’m really worried. His mental health seems to have been getting worse since the whole fiasco. I’m not really expecting anyone to give me advice on this. I just really wanted to let this out. Sexual assault isn’t funny. And if a woman sexually assaults a man, the man isn’t automatically “lucky” because he “got some”. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sexual-assault-isnt-funny/799424)._
