Sexual violence against men is more frequent than what people choose to believe. Although women are more likely to be victims of sexual violence, the proportion of male victims compared to female victims may be distorted due to differences in the rates of the cases being reported). This paper aims to provide an overview of current knowledge on sexual violence against men. A study was conducted to gain insight into the acceptance of some correlates of myths about the rape of men among students of the University of Zagreb. The acceptance of myths about the rape of men was examined in a sample of 469 students. For this purpose, the Male Rape Myth Acceptance Scale (MRMAS) was used, which is the first, comprehensive scale for accurately measuring specific myths about male rape. The myths about the rape of men are not accepted to a large extent, in the sample of Croatian students. The results of the research showed that there is a statistically significant difference in the acceptance of myths about the rape of men in terms of gender, i.e. males are more inclined to accept myths about the rape of men. There is also a statistically significant difference in the acceptance of myths in terms of future profession; respondents who study for so-called “helping professions” less likely accept myths about the rape of men which we can be associated with a greater amount of more sensitive content included in their education. Furthermore, this study did not show a statistically significant correlation with the age of the respondents, which can be explained by relatively shorter span of age range of this sample. The research also showed a statistically significant correlation between the importance of religion/spirituality and acceptance of myths about the rape of men where there is a positive correlation, the i.e. greater importance of religion/spirituality is associated with higher acceptance of myths about the rape of men.
