because it's not just assault on your body, it's assault _in_ your body. Imagine your reactions to being beaten vs having something inserted in to you, which is going to give you more nightmares? Which one is going to have a more lasting effect?

- sitharus 11y agoYes, I simplified something for the sake of a simple response. No, that doesn't mean you can extrapolate ridiculous conclusions from the statement where the definition is well known.
- parennoob 11y agoFair enough, deleted my question since you seem to consider it too frivolous. Feel free to do the same with your reply.
- jMyles 11y agoFor some people, this is it. For most people I know, it's a different thing: being assaulted in the sex drive makes it difficult, subsequently, to be trusting and let your sexual guard down again. It negatively impacts the very abilities required for successful and enjoyable sex. Survivors of sexual assault often also come to realize - if they didn't already - that sexual openness and bodily confidence are important not only for the acts of love, but for many activities in life, both personal and professional. So it's a pretty difficult recovery for some people.
- sitharus 11y agoYes, agreed. Reactions to rape are as varied as the methods used to commit it. It can be vastly more invasive and trust-breaking than a punch to the face - at least you usually know that's coming.
- wutbrodo 11y agoAt the very least this explanation is extremely complete, as female-on-male rape victims suffer significant trauma as well (despite not having anything inside them).
- wutbrodo 11y agoUgh that should say incomplete.
