Sexual exploitation of young men: Background characteristics and needs from a life-course perspective.

Background: Sexually exploited young men are prevalent, yet underrepresented in clinical practice, policy and research. There are multiple barriers that often prevent young men to disclose and to seek or receive support, such as gender norms, limited awareness of victimization and feelings of guilt and shame.

Objective: By gaining more insight into the background characteristics of young men who experienced sexual exploitation and their needs, this study aims to raise awareness and to better inform policymakers, care- and educational professionals on adequate prevention and intervention efforts.

Method: First, three fake profiles were used to attempt interaction with pro-anorexia coaches (n = 31).
