i'm watching a special victims unit episode in which they have a male rape victim. some of the detectives don't believe that he is telling the truth, because they think that its ridiculous for a man to not be able to protect himself from women who want to rape him. but is it? i think that it is very possible for a man to be raped, and that arousal definitely does not imply consent! i would want to say more about this, but the episode is reaching its climax (pardon the pun). anyway, what do you think?

Yes men can get raped and it does happen..unfortunately because society is the way it is and ppl think the way they do, male rape is seldomly reported... I've seen that episode btw, its a good one...

yeah i liked the episode a lot, particularly because the detectives were split on both sides, with the female detective believing in the victim.:)

It can happen. Women can also rape a man. Don't know much about it.

I believe it's possible, anything is possible.I've seen a version of this in a movie, Delta Of Venus, near to the end of the film, but yes, i think much more violent methods are possible.

I definitely think a man can be raped by a women. The problem is when this happens the man doesn't want to say anything because he feels he will be laughed off the block. I like to watch special victims unit also and did not catch this particular one but I did watch a movie and I don't recall the name of it where the man was getting abused by his wife. He couldn't say anything because the way he felt his father and friends would look at him. It was a excellent movie and brought out a lot of things about men being raped and why they refuse to say anything.

Yes. Thats definitely possible. Just like there are very weak and calm men, there may be strong and violent women too. But generally rapes should be condemned and punished very severely.

yes it happens every day. in some cities around the world its common. men fear women, its not the power or strength or muscle , in a country while i was traveling i was told not to go out late night to some streets because 4 - 5 women attack men and rape them more over they use blades to leave mark on men.

I agree with you on this one. I think it is possible for a woman to rape a man.

yes i definitely believe a man can be sexually assaulted against his will by a woman...you can never say man is stronger than woman even physically...there are a lot of women who are physically much much stronger and lot of men who are weaker...It may not be like man raping a woman,but it also constitutes violation of a person's body

yeah, i was thinking that few weeks ago, i don't know if it is in the law, but i don't know if in the law is women only, but from my own opinion yes i think men can be raped too. rape is a force act of any insertion or just by kissing, hugging and if the person is not liking it, just being forced that's rape..so it's possible..yeah..especially if the ratio isn't equal.. 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, so the guy can fight but if too many or at least three, the man is having difficulty to escape, even one girl and she is so strong or did something to make him static..
