Final answer:
Exact percentages of men who experienced childhood sexual abuse are not straightforward due to underreporting and variations in studies. However, general child abuse rates indicate that sexual abuse constitutes approximately 7.6% of cases, with a significant portion not being reported or remembered in adulthood.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is difficult to provide an exact percentage of men who suffer childhood CSA (Childhood Sexual Abuse) as rates can vary by study and because such abuse is often underreported. However, we can look at general prevalence rates among the population. For example, child abuse in general can come in several forms with neglect being the most common (78.3 percent), followed by physical abuse (10.8 percent), and sexual abuse (7.6 percent). Child Help (2011) also indicates that, in most cases, the perpetrators are parents or other relatives. Furthermore, Ross Cheit (2007) points out that many adults may have repressed memories of abuse which could affect statistical reporting.
