Rape - Men & Women
Pursuant to the recent topic I'm interested in whether or not we could get any meaningful stats from an anonymous poll. Have you ever been raped, divided into men and women answering separately. Not just have you been but are you able to talk about it. Not to say I expect anyone to talk about it here. Just wondering if one gender is more open about it.

Re: Rape - Men & Women
This poll is a result of the thread about a serial male rapist here.
While waiting for more participants in the survey (and thank you to those who have already entered their answers) we might want to post some myths and facts about rape. Myth: Men who rape other men are gay. Fact: Rape is not about sexual preference or desire - it is an act of power and control. The motivation of the rapist is to humiliate and brutalize another person. A survey of convicted rapists found that at least half of these men did not care about the sex of their victims, they raped both men and women. Most male rapists are either heterosexual or suffer great confusion about their sexual identity.

Re: Rape - Men & Women
Fact: Men can be and are sexually assaulted everyday. The FBI estimates that 1 in 10 males in Orange County will be sexually victimized in their lifetime.

Re: Rape - Men & Women
Q: Does this poll take into account men who are violated by women? Or only men to men?

eta: for that matter it would take into account women raped by women as well.

Re: Rape - Men & Women
As I'm only the 3rd contributor to this thread and so far 13 people have voted in the poll, clearly people are unable to comment on personal experience and I can fully understand why. I find the fact that out of those, 5 responded in a way I wouldn't want to hear quite alarming. My heart goes out to you all

Re: Rape - Men & Women
I'm not expecting a lot of replies just hoping for participants in the poll. It keeps the poll safer if people know they don't have to comment and that no one knows who was who.

Re: Rape - Men & Women
I experienced 'date rape' quite a few years ago... I wasn't interested so the big strong weightlifter held me down... I just went limp and let him have his way. I didn't find it particularly traumatic, but I was pissed off that he took my choice away from me.

Re: Rape - Men & Women
I found date rape to be more difficult to deal with because part of me wondered if it was my own fault.
