It's more of a control/power issue. It doesn't make the raper neccearily gay as no mere action makes an individual anything else but the doer of that action.

I had to write a research paper on this of college. Men how rape men in prison do so not for the sexual gratification but to show there stronger and can get what they want. There is less rape in prison than you would think from watching TV and movies. A lot of the intercourse is actually consensual.
Most inmates that engage in those activities would tell you they are straight it was a substitute for lack of females.

Yes, it's true that men rape each other in prison. No, it doesn't make them gay. Those men have been in prison for a long time without being able to have conjugal visits. Sooner or later, they will break down and get desperate enough to have sex with each other!!

Yes, it is definitely true. Rape is always, ALWAYS about power, control, and anger. It is a way to humiliate and dominate your victim. It is not, nor has it ever been about being gay or straight. If they were just simply gay then they would not have to rape anyone, there are many willing partners out there.

Rape is a power issue, not a sexual one, no matter who's involved. Though when I read about some particularly heinous rapist being convicted, I confess I always have a little hope he'll be finding out what it's like to be on the other end ... on a regular basis.

Yes it is true. And while I consider sex between two men to be gay no matter the circumstances, they claim it is about power and control, plus the fact that some of theses guys have not seen a woman in 20+ years and never may again.

Yes it is true, rape happens in prison. Rape is about violence, not about sex. Just because a person masturbates doesn't make them a selfish, sex-obsessed person in the same way that a rapist may rape a man and not be gay.

it's not only men, i read some books/articles that women in prison will rape/molest/sexually abuse another woman if they are annoyed at her, or if they just dont like her. it is a control issue, the raper has a bunch of people w/ them, and the one who is raped would feel like a subordinate

Yes, I saw the documentary about jail in America. They rape the weaker one. I pity them. They have to do it, because some of them are sentences to life imprisonment. I think many will do it because they are men, the testrogen inside them drive them to do it. On the other hand, I think woman will also do the same if they are put in life imprisonment. For the man, it is some sort of comfort, because in their whole life they are not going to meet another female again which drive them crazy. For the woman, it is some sort like caring, but a lot more than that. Thanks, I hope I have answer your question correctly.

Yes, it happens, aparently most often in American prisons, and Its a power thing, and generally makes the person raped a very confused, mentally ill person, especially if they were wrongfully committed, or were very young.
