Yeah, that's an interesting finding. I mean, I knew it happened, but not that it was such a large percentage of overall sexual assault against men.

I don't like to assume a single study can be the defining one, but it does make you think. We often picture guys with a sort of Frat mentality, any sex is good sex, any girl is fine. I even do that at times in abstract terms. Yet when you put it into real people terms, it makes more sense. Some guys are shy, at least when it comes to that sort of thing. Some are shy overall.
There were a couple of kids caught in my daughter's High School. A girl was giving the guy oral under the stairwell. The story was that the girl had pressured the guy. A lot of people scoffed at the idea. What guy needs to get pressured? Yet kids that knew them, including my oldest, said it was believable when you take their personalities into account.

Not to miniimize or trivialize the problem, but this hardly seems like a crisis. Kinda reminds me of the old George Carlin joke, "Here's something you never hear a man say: Stop sucking my dick or I'll call the police."

I don't know if I'd use the word crisis either, but it is furthering out understanding.
Having said that, it is also an issue that needs to be addressed. Certainly male on male rape, in prisons especially, is something that needs to be addressed.
I also don't think it helps anyone to further the idea than every male will always welcome all sexual contact with any female. And that if he doesn't, there's something wrong with him. Often we think of a Mrs. Robinson situation. An older woman "educates" a young, underage male. He's grateful and it's positive and only a crime because technically he's underage and she's not. Yet many times if you reverse the situation, people want blood. Sometimes young girls think it's wonderful that they have a sexual experience with an older man, but often times their illusions are shattered. Same with young boys. Not all guys have that I just wanna get my rocks off attitude.
A quick google:

I'm only to see the first few stories because the page is getting stuck, but still.
