As to laws in the USA, it is legal and possible for a man to report being raped by a woman. Some gigolos end up being raped by women who are into the "hard stuff" because it gives them a power trip. We have to remember the very simple fact: It is the BRAIN that is the most powerful sex organ. Everything else follows what the brain tells it to do. If the woman is "turned on" by dominating her man, she will do what is needed to get her jollies.
The same concept - brain as a sex organ - is the reason why gay men are not sexually attracted to women, and note that I am not at the moment arguing about why gay people exist. We know they do, so there is no argument on that point.
That F-on-M ra** situation shows up on the news now and then, but only rarely. There was a "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" story several years ago about exactly such a case involving a male "escort" who was raped by three women, and the writers claimed (rightly or wrongly) that their stories are inspired by actual events.
If I recall correctly, this is one of those cases where particular religions originating in the Middle East don't even acknowledge the possibility that a woman COULD behave that way. (And if she did, she would be executed for some sort of religious perversion.) If you have a state-approved/sponsored religion that says it can't happen, you can bet that the laws will ignore the fact that it is a sexist viewpoint.

Interesting tidbit: The episode was called 'Ridicule' (because of the reactions of most people who heard about the crime, including most of the cops), and one of those three women (who turned out to be the ringleader of the ra**) was played by Diane Neal, who went on to spend 6 years playing Assistant District Attorney Casey Novak on the very same show.
