From Wikipedia (with references): However, the term vaginismus is sometimes used more broadly to refer to any muscle spasms occurring during the insertion of some or all types of objects into the vagina, sexually motivated or otherwise, including the usage of speculums and tampons.
So not necessarily a disorder, but a reaction; and if that's the case, it deserves more investigation, particularly given how widespread rape is.
Then women might not need something like Rape-aXe (https://rape-axe.com/ https://rape-axe.com/)

Is there widespread evidence of rape victims experiencing vaginismus as a protective reaction at the moment of attack (as opposed to them experiencing it as a disorder in a post-rape-trauma context?)
- fluoridation 5y agoYes, the spasms by themselves are not a disorder. They're only considered a disorder when the woman is trying to have consensual sex. I honestly don't know what argument you're trying to put forward. >Then women might not need something like Rape-aXe (https://rape-axe.com/ https://rape-axe.com/) The spasms by themselves are ineffective at preventing forceful penetration. If they were effective there would be no rape, or at least no penetrative vaginal rape. The reason such a device is desired is precisely because it's ineffective.
