why do people rape?

Question

was 15 when i was...16 now

Answer 1

Because they are sick disturbed people and as far as I'm concerned they don't deserve to live.

I hope someone kills whoever did that to you.

If it ever happened to one of my daughters, the offender would 'disappear' without a trace.

I'm so sorry.

Answer 2

For some sick people it is a sense of power. It is exciting for the offender to know he has that control, and to know he is feared. It is an act of violence and absolutely sick.

I'm very sorry for what this person has put you through. It should never happen, but does, and is terrible.

Have you done any counseling? Such a traumatic event needs to be talked about to a professional, because it can have a large psychological impact in your life now, and in the future. I have attached a few sites for you to look at that may help you get your feelings out there, and help soften any Post Traumatic Stress issues.

Answer 3

Rape is not a sexual crime in nature.. only in the physical sense that it violates the genital organs. Men who rape are seeking control and power... and forced sexual contact is the route that they choose to take. Most rapists are usually survivors of sexual abuse or physical abuse. The physical act of forcing a woman to submit to him sexually because she cannot stop him is like a power trip or a high for them, the achievement is short lived and becomes a cycle that they will repeat over and over seeking fulfillment. If you are a victim of rape, seek counseling and understanding of the stages of healing that you will need to go through, not that you will ever be able to forget this act of heinous violence that you went through. I hope that you find the power to overcome what you have been through and move on with your life. This doesn't have to debilitate you in any way.. accept the fact that it happened, and move forward... keeping all of the pain and fear close at hand just gives credence to the man who raped you and you are giving him power over you. Stop the cycle and know that you are more than a victim, you are a strong, beautiful woman who had a very bad experience, don't let being raped define who you are. Peace.

Answer 4

Well taking it the non-emotional way:Its the act of forcing someone(male or female) to have sex against their will(achive by often restraining them) this can lead to serious mental problems for the victem from loosing all trust in the atackers sex(without discrimination) to alienation of friends from the same sex, break ups to even the worse case suicide(most often its the culture that does this as in some cultures the female persona is suposed to be pure and not be defiled by sex ex:arabian culture, indian and several other ones in the middle east or asia.

Now on the taking it emotionaly:If anyone dares any **** like this to the gal i love hes gonna be drifting face down in the Constanta canal ditch by the next morning(fury ain't nothing when you think about it).

I know it was vile and a horrible thing that happened to you but you have to get over it, start it slow but don't let yourself get defeated by fear , live your life or that bastard will have another satisfaction.

Answer 5

Because , teenagers don't listen to their elders and allow some to take advantage of loneliness , anywhere in the world lots of information with warning note appears , do not go alone to any lonely place or nice intimating talk with senior relative or fly friends , specially with strangers , though they claim to be known to your parents , any way please do spread these small cautious massage around for the sake of new lot .
May Almighty will give you strength to over come from this horrible experience and try to forget as a bad dream and re-concentrate on your studies .

Answer 6

because they are assholes who dont care about other peoples feelings and only think for themselves.

i know someone who was raped when she was younger too, she's doing really well now about it. it still bothers her sometimes but she says that she's still a virgin because sex is done between people who love each other and want to do it. and thats not what happend when she was younger, so it doesnt count.

im really sorry for what you had to go through, if you have things you want to talk about that you cant talk about with people you know, im sure there are lots of groups on yahoo groups that have to do with people who have gone through experiences just like what you have gone through.

just keep reminding yourself that you did nothing wrong, you are not a sex tool for men, and you have the right to say no if you want to without feeling bad about saying it.

in my eyes your still a virgin, and i think you should try and save it for the one guy/girl you find later in life that you know you love. save it for them, and never feel like you have to perform sex or do any sexual things with someone if you dont want to, you own your own body and nobody can take that away from you

Answer 7

There are a lot of sickos out there. They have no sense just evil in them! I'm sorry about you! be strong and you will get through it. Whether it's here on earth or in the afterlife they will never get away with such a crime they will pay! God Bless you sweetie!

Answer 8

To overpower someone in order to satisfy their feelings of inadequacy and powerlessness. Rape is about control. It is not about sex. No one deserves to be raped -ever- for any reason. All rapes should be reported and EVERY rapist should be punished for that crime.

Answer 9

The want to have power and control over the other person. Also, I'm very sorry to hear that. Be strong. You're a valuable person and no one deserves to have that happen to them.

Answer 10

the same happened to me, and it happend when i was much younger like 5 or 6 now i'm 19, but as i got older i felt that person who has done that to me did it because he had nothing better to do, and it may have happened to him when he was younger. and yet at the same time that question still lingers in my head...why me?
