Firstly, my name is Rupert Harvey, I was a professional airport interior designer and i worked in that industry for 28 years. I can honestly state that my job was an absoloute joy every day and of course it gave me the opportunity to travel to 67 countries over my 28 year career span.

I was kidnapped in the Middle East, i had done nothing wrong but what they did to me absoloughtly destroyed my life until i die.

I will go much further into my complete detailed ordeal, However, I feel that by default of my own experiences of which such experiences are so horrific it makes me qualified to propose the following idea.

It is 11 years now since i was abducted, i wont explain all of my feelings during he last 11 years as it would either scare you to death or leave you in a very serious and shocked state.

I was treaeted like a dead lump of meat.

THE BIG MALE PROBLEM

Adult males when they are released by their kidnappers, there is most unfortunately a very high count of adult males forced circumcised in the ancient manner, by default, 96% would be sterile., Then Force rape by both anal sex and oral sex. I displeases to announce that the poor innocnt victim would most likely have been raped by up to 25 men. In my own case, every militia soldier forced me to perform oral and anal, therefore were 26 in my case.

In many countries it is not possible for the man to return home and constantly live such a heavy amount of unspoken matters as he knows that if he were to find a confidante and the confidante let him down

KIDNAPPED & EMASCULATED Forced Circumcision according to many historians started during the Egyptian Tutankhamun era to as an irreversible identity onto slaves

THE FACTS THAT YOU WILL NEVER SEE IN THE NEWS!!

SEXUAL VIOLENCE AND TORTURE AGAINST MALES IN WAR

​Male sexual violence is, then, all about notions of power and dominance.

​ Power and dominance are linked with masculinity and in the context of male sexual violence in armed conflict, power and dominance manifest themselves in the form of emasculation.

Gender stereotyping suggests that men cannot be victims, only perpetrators. Thus, men are not conditioned to think of themselves as potential victims of sexual abuse or potential targets for perpetrators in the same way as women. They see themselves as being able to resist any potential attack and this is how others see them. For example, sexual violence may be considered to be inconsistent with certain societies’ understandings of masculinity.

Victims are considered weak and helpless, while men strong and powerful. Masculinity and victim-hood are thus seemingly inconsistent. On this basis, when sexual violence occurs against men, their masculine attributes are considered to have been taken away from them by forced circumcisions that are also referred to as a alternative castration – they have been emasculated. This is not a new phenomenon for in ancient history, a male who was sexually penetrated was considered to have lost his manhood and could no longer be considered a warrior or a ruler.

Today, there is in society the idea that male victims of sexual violence are not ‘ real men ’ for ‘ real men ’ would not have let this happen to them. This idea of emasculation may have been the very reason for the sexual violence, for, according to the study on women, peace and security by the UN Secretary General, ‘ the sexual abuse, torture and mutilation of male detainees or prisoners is often carried out to attack and destroy their sense of masculinity or manhood ’ . This loss of masculinity is a constant concern of survivors. Certain factors signify power and dominance, primary among which is gender; others include sexuality, ethnicity, race and religion.

The concept of hegemonic masculinity is that of a heterosexual male; to deviate from this heteronormative male standard is to be ‘ less ’ masculine. Thus, to cast aspersions on the individual’s gender or sexuality would be to subordinate the victim to the perpetrator and to strip him of his masculinity. Accordingly, emasculation may take place in a number of ways.

The precise manner in which feelings of loss of masculinity take place will likely depend on the conduct of the perpetrator, the particular disposition of the individual victim and the behaviour of those who find out about the sexual violence, namely the family, the community and society. Either way, the victims are considered to have lost their manhood and made un-manly through the dominant, un -masculine stance of the perpetrator. ​
