I’m a bit wary of the 2011 stat for male victims with male perpetrators.

Yeah, honestly I felt the same way when I first looked at the numbers, but they seem to be confirmed in the CDC 2015 and 2017 studies as well. I even tried to find independent numbers of, for example, male on male sexual assault in prisons to make sure I wasn't accidentally excluding relevant data.

It's also worth mentioning that, as flicker said, it's impossible to know the huge amount of male- and female-perpetrated and male- and female-victim cases that go unreported each year, which would certainly result in significantly different numbers, though it's impossible to know exactly how they'd be affected.
