Male rape

Sudies show that rape is about domination, aggression and gaining control. In ancient times, a victorious warrior would rape his defeated opponent to display his total control over him. It was believed that the raped warrior would then be less of a man. In interviews with rapists, it was found that generally they don’t have a preference towards any specific gender. In most cases, deciding on the victim was either due to circumstances (wrong place, wrong time) or the fact that men believe overpowering a woman would be easier than confronting another man. Criminals also sometimes use rape to silence the victim, to hide another crime.
A criminal stealing from a man, for example, might rape the victim in an effort to stop him from reporting the theft. This is done based on the fact that men don’t easily report rape – especially adult men.

The fact that men areexercise of power laid the groundwork for an interest in the fact that men also get raped. This interest was first focused on men in prison.

raped is an issue that is still surrounded by a great deal of silence. Men are, in most cases, more likely than women to become victims of violent crime, with two exceptions: rape and domestic violence. This view of rape as a crime predominantly perpetrated against women has most likely influenced the lack of research on and writing about male rape. Feminist writings about the rape of women as an

For a long time it was generally believed that men who raped other men were all homosexuals. However, research has shown that most rapists who rape men are actually heterosexual, which is in line with feminist writings on rape as a power exercise rather than a sexual act.

Most researchers in the field believe that the number of male rape survivors that report the rape to the police or even look for any kind of help afterwards is very small compared to the actual number of male rapes taking place. The main reasons for rapes not being reported seem to be the response of other people towards the rape survivor – such as expressing disbelief over the fact that a man can be raped at all – and the feelings of shame that this response creates in the survivor. Another reason for under-reporting is the fact that there are still not that many organisations out there that support male rape survivors.This is likely to make them feel as if there is no point in even looking for help. The law in South Africa recognises that both men and women can be raped and the same processes applyequally to men
and women.

Myths and truths about male rape

MYTH: Men are able to protect themselves and can’t be raped.
The truth is that the force used by a rapist to subdue a male victim is often much more violent than that used towards a woman. A loaded pistol remains a threat, whether you are a man or a woman. Manipulation is also often used to control and overpower younger boys and teenagers. The confusion and fear caused by the rapist may mean that the attacker doesn’t need to use any other form of force. If you are a male rape survivor and you are reading this, it means you did something right. To escape with your life is a victory in itself. Never question the actions you took, or did not take, during the rape. You’re alive and that is what matters.

TRUTH: A rapist can overpower a male victim.

MYTH: Only gay men are raped and only gay men rape other men.
The truth is that rape is about power and control, not sexual desire. The rapist uses rape as a weapon to gain control over the victim, regardless of whether the attacker is heterosexual or homosexual, and whether the victim is male or female, heterosexual or homosexual.
TRUTH: Heterosexual men also rape and are raped.

MYTH: Gay men deserve to be raped.
Some people believe that homosexuality is ‘unnatural’ and that it should be punished through an act of heterosexual rape. The truth is that rapists use rape as a weapon to harm and intimidate people who do not live according to the rapist’s own way of life. It is illegal to victimise gay men and lesbians in this way.
TRUTH: No one deserves to be raped.

MYTH: If the victim gets an erection or ejaculates during rape, it means he enjoyed it.
The truth is that erections or ejaculations during rape or sexual abuse are physical responses. They can be a result of extreme stress or of physical contact. The rapist may be aware of this automatic response of your body and use it to further his display of control over you and to discourage you from reporting the crime. It doesn’t mean that you enjoyed what happened – in fact, it could make the entire experience more traumatic for you. Additionally, tablets such as Viagra are used increasingly on the victim in cases of male rape. These tablets cause you to have an erection. Be aware of the serious side effects this could have. An erection that is painful or lasts more than four hours needs immediate medical attention. Another rare but serious side effect of Viagra is a sudden loss of vision. If this happens to you, call your doctor immediately or go to the emergency room of a hospital for evaluation.
TRUTH: The stress of the rape can cause the body to automatically respond with an erection or ejaculation.

MYTH: Heterosexual men who are raped will become homosexual.
The truth is that most homosexual people believe they are born homosexual, just as most heterosexual people believe they are born that way.
TRUTH: Rape cannot change someone’s sexual orientation.

Reactions to male rape

Male rape survivors experience many of the same symptoms as women do. However, one of the greatest differences between male and female rape survivors seems to be the way that other people respond to them. While women are sometimes told the rape was their fault
because of what they were wearing or what they were doing, men are often questioned about their manliness. People ask them questions such as: ‘What kind of man are you to let someone do that to you?’ or ‘Why didn’t you defend yourself?’

The reason for this disbelief could be that society in general has a picture of women and children as victims and men as the strong ones. Men can be the ones who commit crime, but not the victims. Many men who are raped also have this belief. They’ve never thought of the
possibility of being raped. This makes the shock of a rape even greater for a man. All the ideas you had about belonging to the ‘stronger sex’ and therefore being safe, are crushed.This is also likely to make you doubt whether it could really have been rape, and thus prevent you from reporting the crime. This is one of the reasons why so many of the male rapes that occur are never discussed, which then leads people to think that it doesn’t really happen. The silence creates a circle, and the majority of rapists get away without punishment.

As a man, you may have been taught not to show your emotions, since this is considered unmanly by some people.
Many men therefore don’t know how to handle their feelings. It also means that many men never get any kind of counselling. They end up with all the feelings connected to the rape bottled up inside for a long time, with no outlet. They may try to put everything behind them as quickly as possible, believing that they can go on with their lives as if nothing has happened. This may lead to physical symptoms such as illness, headaches and backaches. It also often means that the emotional ‘crash’ is more devastating when it finally does come.
On the other hand, putting off seeking help means that, by the time you actually decide to come for counselling, you’ve given it a lot of thought and tried to resist it for a long time. Your motivation for obtaining help is therefore likely to be quite high. If you haven’t told anybody about the rape, the decision to come for counselling is also totally your own. This could make you feel more vulnerable.
People deal with emotions in their own ways and it is your choice whether you want to speak about it, when, and with whom. Counselling is a way to find out more about recovering from rape and to get support in discovering your own strengths, inner resources and coping
skills. Rape counselling also assists you in managing the criminal justice system processes and procedures you might have to follow.

Here are some MYTH and TRUTH about the rape which can really help us to understand a percent of the pain with whom a rape accused is living .....

Myths & Truths about Rape

A myth is a false idea that many people believe to be true.

In many societies all over the world, people have believed and still believe in myths about what rape is and what causes it. In South Africa, the legal definition of rape has been changed; this means that our law courts now recognise what rape truly is, instead of upholding rape myths (false ideas). Sadly though, many men and women in our country still hold onto harmful myths about rape.

MYTH: A woman who gets drunk is inviting rape.

The truth is that both men and women sometimes get drunk – it is not a crime to drink, it is a crime to rape.

TRUTH: A person that is too drunk might be incapable of consenting to sex; sex without consent is rape.

MYTH: It’s not rape if a woman wears revealing clothing, because then she wants sex.

Sex without consent is always rape, no matter what the circumstances. Just because a woman wears a short skirt or a revealing top does not always mean that she is sending out a signal that she is available for sex. A woman always has the right to choose if, when and with whom she has sex.

TRUTH: When a woman wears revealing clothes she is not actively consenting to sex – she must still be able to deny her consent to sex if she chooses to.

MYTH: Women who wear revealing clothing invite men to rape them.

Appearance and clothing have nothing to do with who gets raped. Women are raped no matter what they wear: babies in nappies, old women in tracksuits and nuns in habits also get raped.

TRUTH: Clothing does not determine who gets raped.

MYTH: Rapists are always strangers in the dark.

The truth is that most rapes occur between people who know each other. A person is much more likely to be raped by a family member, relation or friend than by a stranger.

TRUTH: Rapists are mostly known to the survivor.

MYTH: It’s not rape if the woman has given her consent to having sex with the man before.

If a woman consents to sex once, that does not mean the man has a right to have sex with her anytime from now on.

TRUTH: Both people need to consent to sex every time.

MYTH: It’s not rape if the woman and man are married or in a relationship.

The truth in South Africa is that a husband or boyfriend may never force his wife or girlfriend to have sex with him. If he does, he can be charged with rape. A woman has to give consent for sex, every time.

TRUTH: In any relationship, a woman has the right to say no to sex.

MYTH: Sex workers can’t be raped.

The truth is that sex workers have the same right to refuse sex as anyone else. They are paid for consensual sex, not rape. They choose with whom to do business.

TRUTH: Sex workers also have to consent to sex.

MYTH: Women say they have been raped to get revenge on a man.

The truth is that women very rarely do this, as reporting rape to the authorities and going through a rape trial are very traumatic. It takes a lot of courage to report a rape and go through with a rape trial. Other people often make rape victims feel ashamed or guilty about the rape, which makes it even less likely that a woman would lie about rape. Statistics show that number of false reports of rape is the same as any other crime.

TRUTH: People lie about all crimes, not just rape. The number of people that lie about being the victim of a crime is very small.

MYTH: A woman who withdraws rape charges was never raped in the first place.

Women who withdraw rape charges mostly do this because the people around them pressurise them to do so. This can happen, for example, if the rapist is the breadwinner of the family, if the family fears a scandal or if they fear revenge by the rapist’s friends and family. Rape victims are often intimidated into dropping charges.

TRUTH: If a woman withdraws a rape charge, it doesn’t mean she was lying.

MYTH: It can only be called rape if there is sexual intercourse.

South African law defines rape very clearly. It does not only involve a penis into a vagina.

TRUTH: Rape is when a person puts any body part or object into another person’s anus or vagina, or genital organs into the mouth of another person.

MYTH: If the victim gets sexually aroused or has an orgasm during the rape, it means she enjoyed it.

Although this sometimes happens, it does not mean the survivor enjoyed it. It can in fact make the rape more traumatic.

TRUTH: The stress of the rape can cause the body to respond in a sexual way automatically.

MYTH: A woman can prevent rape if she tries hard enough.

The truth is that most men are stronger than most women. But force is often not necessary, as men can use emotional manipulation, weapons or threats on the victim’s life to get a woman to comply.

TRUTH:A woman cannot do anything to prevent the rape from happening.

MYTH: Respectable women don’t get raped. Promiscuous women invite rape.

The truth is that there is no type of woman who gets raped: women of all ages and social positions get raped. The lifestyle and personality of the victim has nothing to do with getting raped. The rapist is to blame.

TRUTH: Rape can happen to any type of person.

MYTH: A woman is asking to get raped if she goes into an unsafe area, such as a bad neighbourhood or a bar.

The truth is that women are more likely to be sexually assaulted in their own homes or in places familiar to them than anywhere else.

TRUTH: A woman can be raped anywhere, even in her own home.

MYTH: Rapists are mentally ill madmen or are sex starved.

The truth is that only very few rapists are mentally ill. Most rapists are not sex starved – they are mostly men who act responsibly at work and at home with their families.

TRUTH: You cannot tell a rapist from a man who does not rape .

MYTH: Rape mostly involves black men raping white women.

TRUTH: Most rapes occur between people of the same race; in fact more white men rape black women than black men rape white women.

MYTH: Gay men and lesbians deserve to be raped.

Some people believe that homosexuality is unnatural and that it can be ‘cured’ through heterosexual rape. The truth is that rapists use rape as a weapon to harm and intimidate people who do not live according to the rapist’s own way of life. It is illegal to victimise gay men and lesbians in this way.

TRUTH: No one deserves to be raped.

MYTH: Men rape for sex.

The truth is that rape is not only about relieving sexual desire. It is about gaining power and control over another person. A rapist gets satisfaction by humiliating and controlling his victim and uses sex as the tool to do this.

TRUTH: Rape is more about having power over someone than about sex.

MYTH: Once a man is sexually excited, he cannot stop.

The truth is that all men and women sometimes get sexually excited and want it to lead to sex. But we can all choose to stop and wait for the feeling to subside.

TRUTH: We all have control over our choices and our bodies. Rapists choose not to stop.

MYTH: Women dream or fantasise about rape and will enjoy it if it happens.

The truth is that some women may think about being raped, but in no way do they wish it to happen. They can control fantasising and can stop when they choose, but they have no control when they are raped.

TRUTH: No one wants to be raped.

MYTH: Women say ‘no’ when they mean ‘yes’.

In some cultures, a woman is expected to be coy and to not ‘welcome’ sexual advances. But this does NOT mean that a man can ignore it if a woman says ‘no’. A man must always be very sure that the woman consents.

TRUTH: When a woman says ‘no’, it means ‘no’.

10 Worst Countries for Women

10. Iraq

The US-led invasion to “liberate” Iraq from the hanged Saddam Hussain, imprisoned women in an inferno of sectarian violence that targets women and girls. The literacy rate, once the highest in the Arab world, is now among the lowest.

9. Pakistan

In some tribal areas, women are gang raped as punishment for men’s crimes. But honor killing is more widespread, and a renewed wave of religious extremism is targeting female politicians, human rights workers and lawyers. Women are victims of violence and abuse, and the country still lacks a law against domestic violence. Last year the country saw around 1000 honor killings of women and girls, a practice that has been exported to the West. 90 percent of women experience domestic violence in their lifetimes; women earn 82 percent less than men.

8. India

Women account for 39 percent of all adult HIV infections in India. Domestic violence in India is endemic and widespread predominantly against women. Around 70% of women in India are victims of domestic violence, according to Renuka Chowdhury junior minister for women and child development. National Crime Records Bureau reveal that a crime against a women is committed every three minutes, a women is raped every 29 minutes, a dowry death occurs every 77 minutes and one case of cruelty committed by either the husband or relative of the victim occurs every nine minutes. 50 million girls were killed in the past century in the practice of female infanticide or foeticide; around 100 million women and girls are estimated to be victim of human trafficking; 44.5 percent of girls are married before the age of 18.

7. Somalia

In the Somalia capital, Mogadishu, a vicious civil war has put women, who were the traditional ministry of the family, under attack. 95 percent of girls face genital mutilation mostly between the ages of 4 and 11; only 7.5 percent of parliament seats are held by women; only 9 percent of women give birth in a health facility.

6. Mali

In Mali, one of the world’s poorest countries, few women escape torture of genital mutilation. Many of them are forced into early marriages, and one in ten dies in pregnancy or childbirth. There are no laws against female genital mutilation in Mali, and a large number of women have been subjected to it.

5. Guatemala

The impoverished female under-class of Guatemala faces domestic violence, rape and the second highest rate of HIV/AIDS after Sub-Saharan Africa.

4. Sudan

While Sudanese women have made strides under reformed laws, the plight of those in Darfur, in westren Sudan, has worsened. Abduction, rape or forced displacement has destroyed more than one million women’s lives since year 2003.

3. Democratic Republic of Congo

In the eastern DRC, a war that claimed more than 3 million lives has ignited again, with women on the front-line  Many others were victims of direct attacks and violence perpetrated by the warring parties or by rogue armed militias. Women in the Congo face especially harsh realities; around 1,100 are raped every day. Since 1996, more than 200,000 rapes have been reported in the country. 57 percent of pregnant women are anaemic; women can not sign legal documents without their husbands’ authorization.

2. Afghanistan

The average Afghan girl will live to only 45 – one year less than an Afghan male. After three decades of war and repression, an overwhelming number of women remain illiterate in Afghanistan. Afghan girls are also discouraged, sometimes fatally, from seeking an education and Afghan rape victims can be forced, by law, to marry their attacker. More than half of all brides are under 16, and one women dies in childbirth every half an hour. A large majority, up to 85 percent, of women in Afghanistan give birth with no medical attention. It is the country with the highest maternal mortality rate in the world.

1. Chad

Women in Chad have very few rights. Arranged marriages are still common and often times the girls are around 11 and 12 years old. Sudanese Women living in refugee camps in eastern Chad are facing rape and other forms of violence. Outside the camps, they face a range of abuses from harassment and threats to physical attacks, committed by members of opposition armed groups, bandits and members of the Chadian security forces.

10 Horrific Sexual Violence Statistics:

10. The Perpetrator

Only 6% of rapist ever serve a day in jail. It has been noted that the out of all offenders or perpetrators in rape cases, 23% of them share intimate relationship with the victim prior to the rape. While 3% are victim’s own relative. 38% of the rapists are either friend or acquaintance of the victim. Only 31% of the rapists are strangers to the victim.

9. The Location

The place where the rape takes place is matter of factors that is taken under consideration in rape cases. In case of rape, 30.9% of the rape takes place in the perpetrator’s home, while 26.6% of the rape takes place in the victim’s home. 10.1% of the rape takes place in the perpetrator’s and victim’s shared home. A party or a vehicle serves as the location 7.2% each. The location is outdoor in 3.6% of the rape cases and bar in 2.2% of the rape cases.

8. Countries With highest Rape Cases

The countries with highest rape cases are Lesotho (91.6 per 100000), Trinidad & Tobago (58.4 per 100000), Sweden (53.2 per 100000), Korea (33.7 per 100000), New Zealand (30.9 per 100000), United States of America (28.6 per 100000), Belgium (26.3 per 100000), Zimbabwe (25.6 per 100000) and United Kingdom (23.2 per 100000).

7. Reported & Unreported Rape Cases

The sad part of sexual violence crime is the fact that is very less reported, either out of fear or shame that the society brings upon the victim. Shockingly, only 15% of the rapes are reported, while 12% of the attempt-to-rape cases are reported. With this data, it can be realised that more than half of the rape cases in the world are not reported. Who is to blame – the administration, the judiciary or the society as a whole?

6. Victim’s Age & Race

In cases of sexual assault, women irrespective of how old they are, face the same problem. 15% of the sexual assault victims are 12 years of age or younger. 29% of the victims are aged between 12-17 years. 44% of the sexual assault victims are below the age of 18 years. Whereas 80% of the victims are under the age of 30 years. It has been noticed from the figures that women aged from 18-34 are the worst victims of such assaults. 5. Victim’s Race. In the USA, 17.7% victims are white – Americans, 18.8% are African-Americans, 6.8% Asian/Pacific Islander, 34.1 American Indian/Alaskan Native, 14.6% Hispanic and 24.4% mixed race women.

4. Physical Injury

3. Mental Trauma

Apart from the visible physical injuries, a victim undergoes countless mental trauma the incident. The victims after the incident are three times more likely to suffer from depression, six time more likely to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder and four times more likely to contemplate suicide. Undoubtedly, this heinous crime takes a toll on the victim.

2. Male Rape

The notion that men can’t be raped is probably one of the biggest myths ever. Fewer than 1 in 10 male-male rapes are reported. About 3% of American men -or 1 in 33 – have experienced an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime. The case is not limited to India alone, it is similar to every other part of the world. >> 10 Male Celebrities who Faced Sexual Assaults.

1. Child Sexual Abuse

Perhaps the most hear wrenching part of the survey is the child sexual abuse. About of 19.7% girls and 7.9% boys face sexual abuse. Most of the victims are either acquaintances or relatives of the victim.  The highest prevalence rate of child sexual abuse geographically is found in Africa (34.4%). What needs to be done here is the fact that parents/guardians of children must always be alert and should engage is dialogues and discussions with their children. Knowledge about sex and sexuality as well as sexual violence must be shared between them. Only then, the child will be in a position to openly discuss such sensitive and important subjects with their parents.

Top 10 Countries With Highest Rape Crime

10. Ethiopia

Ethiopia is estimated to have one of the highest rates of violence against women in the world. A report by the UN found that nearly 60% of Ethiopian women were subjected to sexual violence. Rape is a very serious problem in Ethiopia. The country is infamous for the practice of marriage by abduction, with the prevalence of this practice in Ethiopia being one of the highest in the world. In many parts of Ethiopia, it is common for a man, working in co-ordination with his friends, to kidnap a girl or woman, sometimes using a horse to ease the escape. The abductor will then hide his intended bride and rape her until she becomes pregnant. Girls as young as eleven years old are reported to have been kidnapped for the purpose of marriage. Also the Ethiopian military has been accused of committing systematic rapes against civilians.

9. Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka’s security forces are still raping and torturing suspects. There have been recent allegations that rape and torture by the Sri Lankan security forces have continued four years after the civil war ended.

According to Justice Institute of British Columbia, one out of every 17 women is raped, 62% of rape victims were physically injured, 9% were beaten or disfigured.

7. France

Rape was not a crime in France until 1980. Laws reinforcing women’s rights and safety are relatively recent in France. The law making rape a crime dates back only to 1980. Earlier decrees were based on 19th century moral codes. A law on sexual-harassment was approved in 1992 and one on moral harassment was passed in 2002. The last bill to fight violence against women was passed last year. Government studies show there are 75,000 rapes a year in the country. Only about 10 percent of the victims filed complaints. France is at the 7th position with the total reported crime of 3,771,850.

6. Germany

An estimate of 240,000 women and girls has died up till now in Germany because of this crime. Germany is on the number six in the highest rape crime with the figures of 6,507,394 in this year which is really a big figure. German Catholics have allowed the morning-after pills for the victims. The country moving forward in technology is actually moving really backward in humanity.

5. United Kingdom

Many people wish to live or even visit UK as it is one of the most developed countries. But they surely must not be aware that this country is also involved badly in the crime of rape. In January 2013, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), Office for National Statistics (ONS) and Home Office released its first ever joint Official Statistics bulletin on sexual violence, entitled An Overview of Sexual Offending in England and Wales. According to report: Approximately 85,000 women are raped on average in England and Wales every year. Over 400,000 women are sexually assaulted each year. One in 5 women (aged 16 – 59) has experienced some form of sexual violence since the age of 16.

4. India

India is the place where sexual assault is rapidly increasing. Rape in India is one of India’s most common crimes against women. According to the National Crime Records Bureau 24,923 rape cases were reported across India in 2012, but experts agree that the number of unreported cases of sexual assault brings the total much higher. Out of these, 24,470 were committed by parents/family, relatives, neighbors and other known persons implying that , men known to the victim committed 98 per cent of reported rapes. The latest estimates suggest that a new case of rape is reported every 22 minutes in India.

More than 25 per cent of South African men questioned in a survey published by the Medical Research Council (MRC) admitted to rape; of those, nearly half said they had raped more than one person. Three out of four of those who had admitted rape indicated that they had attacked for the first time during their teens. South Africa has amongst the highest incidences of child and baby rape in the world. If the rapist is convicted, his prison time would be around 2 years.
