Finding a way to cope with victimization can be one of the hardest things to overcome. Littleton and Breitkopf (2006) found that the negative aftereffects victims experience after rape can affect the coping strategies used by victims (p. 107). Negative stimuli may be related to the way the police treat the victim after the rape or to the reactions of others after the rape is revealed. Many victims suffer from self-blame and mention things like "I shouldn't have gone out so late by myself." Victims often find that one of the best ways to deal with victimization is counseling. Rape counseling helps victims find a safe way to cope. They started by hearing the victim's story to understand what type of treatment she needs. Male victims are less likely to seek help from counseling services due to the shame and embarrassment they feel. Turner and Light (2010) found that the majority of male survivors do not participate in counseling and those who seek help often do so long after the sexual assault or rape (p. 256). Male victims are more hostile, angry, and depressed immediately after rape than female victims. This also explains why men are less likely to report being victims, as they feel they will be judged and their masculinity questioned. Because male rape often remains unrecognized, there is a lack of services available for male survivors. So there is also a lack of knowing exactly how to deal positively after sex.
