Of course a man can be raped. I'm struggling to understand why anyone would think a man couldn't be raped

Many people don't seem to understand how. Just because the man is the one to do it they feel its not rape.

More likely a fatal attraction like in the movie played by Michael Douglas and Glenn Close "A married man's one-night stand comes back to haunt him when that lover begins to stalk him and his family."

@jbaraka well that was theme of the movie but of course it wasn't actually rape more like domination but then what is rape but a violent power struggle?

It depends . . what I believe is if a man is raped by a woman . . it is not rape. If a man is raped by a man; it is rape.

I'd say depends, but yea a man can be raped both anally from fellow inmates in prison or other maniacs, and from a woman too. JJ said it, if a man becomes sexualy stimulated that doesn't mean that he actually WANTS it to happen. But i think most of the cases men being raped is by another men, not women.

When I think of rape, I think of someone being held down against their will, and although it can happen, I can't really see it happening to a man, who is normally stronger than a woman. He would need three women holding him down for her to do that to him.

In prison yes cos men r overpowered and sodomized or other acts are done to them. What of a man suffering the same from a woman. Can there be rape from woman to a man?

@jbaraka Yes, of course. Men get raped quite often in prison.

the fact that he complained, that means the suspect did it against his will. Anyway, in our country, its not only penetration that defines the rape.

There were some Filipino men who were raped in Saudi Arabia. That is man to man. Some of them became mentally ill because of the trauma. Some were imprisoned because they killed the rapist in defense of themselves.

Yes. It all depends on his emotions. So emotion black mail will make this successful.

Yes, a male gender could be raped. When it comes to rape, the victim has no specification of gender, age, background, etc. Sad truth!

Yes, a man can be raped.Having forced intimacy with a man is rape.
