The closest report you can make is for sexual assault.

In fairness, it is also impossible to impregnate a man, so the acts--while both depraved and horrific--are fundamentally different in my opinion.

If a man anally rapes another man, is that legally considered "rape" or "sexual assault?" I'm okay with the idea of the word "rape" only applying to women, as long as a woman forcing herself on a man is called the same thing as a man forcing himself on a man.
