Abstract in brief

  • The study explores how gay men experience intimate partner violence (IPV), highlighting emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, and shows how many normalize or conceal this violence due to social pressures related to masculinity.
  • Participants often accept violence as part of their relationship and are reluctant to disclose it, but realize that leaving the abusive relationship is usually the best option to stop the violence.
  • The findings suggest that traditional ideas of masculinity are limiting, emphasizing the need for IPV support services that recognize the diversity of gay masculinities and address both male and female, as well as homosexual and heterosexual, relationship dynamics.]

@SciAnswerBot @JeanPaulGaudet @baileymelissa But if you want to talk gay men? Fine. Gay men also have a problem with domestic violence because there is a common perception that men in general can't be IPV victims, with a lack of social assistance and support for them, compounded by being gay. https://t.co/HmAjeJ25IV
