A very interesting read - and the numbers shocked me.

Umm... just trying to understand the logistics of a woman raping a man. Doesn't "it" have to be functioning ??

Men can be stimulated physically. It's completely possible for someone they're not attracted to to make "it" "function".

Also, you can be raped by someone that you are attracted to.

I guess.... It just seems like if a guy wasn't into it they wouldn't be...ready? For example, if a woman is drugged she can still get raped. If a man is drugged it wouldn't be functioning, right?

Also, sexual assault doesn't necessarily have to mean rape in the sense of penetration.

Surely that would depend on the drug(s) used. Also, wouldn't erection as a response to pure physical stimulus occur during natural sleep?

(Also, mornings?)

It's biology mutha fuckas. Certain stimulants just make things happen.

Wouldnt be hard for a woman to slip viagra and some other drug into your drink. Like Tim said, it doesnt HAVE to be penetration.

The part I would be interested to know is if they found more cases where men were sexually assaulted by women or by men?

[SKS]

I feel like a man's penis doesn't even have to be involved, I'm sure there are some women out there that rape men by way of strap on. The whole "it's not rape since men enjoy it" idea that some people in the media try to push couldn't be any more false.

If you read the article, about half.

"A recent analysis of BJS data, for example, turned up that 46 percent of male victims reported a female perpetrator."

Oops, I even read the article but I guess I missed that

Arousing isn't necessarily voluntary, it's a natural bodily reaction.

It's not rare for women parts to get aroused during a rape despite it obviously being a terrible experience.

I'm sure most of us men would report getting erections when we clearly would rather not.
