Rape is a crime where the victim is forced into sexual activity, in particular sexual penetration, against his or her will. The word originates from the Latin rapere: to seize or take by force. The Latin term for the act of rape itself is raptus. Originally, the word rape was akin to rapine, rapture, raptor, and rapacious, and referred to the more general violations, such as looting, destruction, and capture of citizens that are inflicted upon a town or country during war, eg. th ...

Rape - Drugging. Hypnotic agents such as flunitrazepam (Rohypnol) and GHB, colloquially referred to as "date rape drugs," have been used by rapists to render their victims unconscious before raping them. According to the DEA, "Victims may not be aware that they ingested a drug at all. GHB and its analogues are invisible when dissolved in water, and are odorless. They are somewhat saltish in taste, but are indiscernible when dissolved ...

Custodial rape is a form of rape which takes place while the victim is "in custody" and constrained from leaving, and the rapist or rapists are an agent of the power that is keeping the victim in custody. While some definitions of custodial rape define it as taking place in a state-owned institution, and perpetrated by a state agent,[1] the term more generally refers to any situation where the power of a state agent is used to enable rape; thus, when prisoner-on-prisoner rape happens as a result of neglect by the pri ...

The anti-rape female condom (aka anti-rape condom, intended brand name Rapex) was invented by Sonette Ehlers, a South African woman. It's intended to prevent rape by hooking onto an attacker's penis, hurting and disabling him. The device is a latex sheath held firm by shafts of sharp, inward-facing microscopic barbs that would be worn by a woman in her vagina like a tampon. Should an attacker attempt vaginal rape, the penis would penetrate the latex and be hooked by the barbs, causing the attacker pain and (ideall ...

Vagina dentata is Latin for toothed vagina. The myth of the vagina dentata in the Western world was popularized chiefly by Sigmund Freud, who found that it neatly meshed with his theories concerning castration anxiety. Freud bestowed this name on the phenomenon, inspired by a number of legends about women with vaginas which were supposed to contain teeth or other weapons, and with which they were supposed to be able to murder or castrate their sexual partners. The motif is contained in a number of myths from Asia, especially Southeast ...

Alcohol and drugs play a major role in rapes on college campuses in the U.S. According to “Alcohol and Sexual Assault on Campus” (Administrator, June 23, 2004), schools that have heavy drinking have a fifty to eighty-three percent increased likelihood of assault. The level of drinking is defined as women consuming four or more drinks consistently and five for men. Women under the age of twenty-one are fif ...

As noted above, it is not wholly inconceivable that even a young teenager, if only an exceptionally mature one, be able to make mature and responsible decisions regarding sex. Parents who perceive their children as possessing sexual maturity at a young age generally expect that these children understand the consequences of sexual intercourse with an older person; namely the grave legal trouble said older persons face as a result of statutory rape laws. Adolescents who feel they are mature enough to engage in sexual activities, especially wit ...

"Rape Me" drew the ire of many feminists upon its release on In Utero in 1993, but Cobain, a proclaimed feminist himself, often claimed in interviews that it was an "anti-rape" song. He said it was a song of poetic justice, in which a man rapes a woman, is sent to jail, and ends up being raped there himself. Still, its title was censored as "Waif Me" on Wal-Mart and Kmart releases of In Utero, an intentionally comical name chosen by Cobain himself (he had originally wanted to call it "Sexually Assault Me"). The song is sometimes seen as a sequel to Nevermind's "Polly," which Cobain narr ...

The rationale is typically that although a person may be biologically mature enough to desire sexual intercourse, he or she may, lacking the additional years of experience possessed by legal adults, not be able to make mature or rational decisions as to whom he or she engages in sexual contact with. Thus, even if he or she willingly engages in sexual intercourse with an older person, said older person may well have used tactics of manipulation or deceit against which the youn ...

"Rape Me" was written by Nirvana singer/guitarist Kurt Cobain in an apartment in Los Angeles, California in 1991, around the time the band's second album, Nevermind, was being mixed. It was first performed live on June 18, 1991 at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz, California, and subsequently played several times at Nirvana concerts during the next two years. These early live versions featured a dissonant, semi-improvised "anti-solo" (or "noise solo") after the second chorus, which was replaced by a brid ...

Rape fantasy is also a sub-genre of erotic fiction. Just as some people like to imagine rape, others like to write and read about it. The taste is not restricted to purely pornographic works; the bodice ripper is a perennially popular sub-genre of mass-market romantic fiction. A high level of controversy surrounds a scene in Ayn Rand's novel The Fountainhead in which the male protagonist rapes the female protagonist upon meeting her, even though the novel was not writ ...

There are as many types of rape fantasies as there are people who have them. The limits are confined only to the vast reaches of the mind. They range from unwilling seduction to violent, forceful sex. One can imagine one is the rapist, or that one is being raped. It is estimated that 24% of men and 36% of women have had a rape fantasy, and 10% of women report this is their favorite type of fantasy [1]. Psychologically, many women (and even some men) turn to rape fantasy because sex is surrounded so much by taboo and religious restrict ...

The issue of statutory rape may be further complicated by minors who, for whatever reason (early physical development, calculating use of adult clothing and makeup, fake ID, et cetera) appear to be of consenting age, and/or lie about their age, in order to pursue sexual relationships with older persons. While it may seem reasonable enough to expect an adult to get to know someone enough to know his or her true age before engaging in sexual activities, the reality is that in a world where anonymous sexual encounters and other indiscretions ar ...

One form of sexual roleplaying is the rape fantasy, also called "ravishment". Ravishment has become the more popular term in BDSM circles, as it makes a distinction between consensual roleplay and nonconsensual assault. Since the illusion of non-consensuality is important to the fantasy, one or more safewords are typically employed. This way, a participant can protest without stopping the scene, unless the safeword is used. Often a variation on the "stop-light" system is used, with different colors designating different messages: "red ...

The movement fights against violence targeting women and it focuses on these areas: Gang-rapes Pressure to wear the Hijab Pressure to drop out of school Pressure to marry early without being able to choose the husband.
