Rape
Rape is when someone is forced to have sex, or otherwise has sex without consent. Both boys and girls can rape and be raped, but mostly women and girls are raped by men? and boys. Rape is a serious and heinous crime.
Rape is a special kind of evil and one of the worst things you can do to someone. I hear that rape is about power and sex. That is, the desire of the rapist is to destroy and control you, not just to have sexual pleasure.
I really need to learn more and write a lot more on this page.
If it happens to you
If rape has happened to you, or happens to you in the future, know that it is not your fault. It is 100% not your fault, it is the fault of the rapist. Also, know that you are not less valuable as a person if this happens to you.
If you should happen to have vaginal lubrication or orgasm during the rape that does not mean you consented or wanted it to happen. Those are automatic reactions by your body and not under your control, so they are not your fault.
To-do: Add advice on how to recover from rape.
