Woman forces man to have sex with her at knife point, stabs him when he refuses - article does not mentionthe word "rape".

Gah, spelling!

I think you are wrong there BiogOldFanny, as far as I can see no one else has mentioned an erection in that scenario apart from the person who has posted just before you.

People have however pointed out the law regarding rape in this country.

It is perfectly psysiologically possible for a man to have an erection and even orgasm when utterly terrified. I am surprised so few adult women seem not to understand this.

vagaceretops I think the story was picked up by the dm because it involves a beautiful woman.. and ha ha wouldn't we all like to be raped by a hotty etc.

Some posters have claimed a man can't be raped as he would need an erection (so must have wanted it). Posts weren't directed at you df.

definition of rape. Seems that in the UK victim has to be penetrated by a penis in any orafice, so men and women can be raped, but only men can be rapists. There is another offense of assault by penetration if something other than a penis is used.

But if a person forcibly gets a man to penetrate them with their penis it is not "rape". I am probably being very naive here, but I actually don't see how this scenario is physically possible. Can a man get an erection under these circumstances?

That is true BigOldFanny, you have made a valid point! If this woman raped him it could be possibe if he had a morning erection for example.
Some women are very strong so who knows

I don't understand the points you are making BigOldFanny.

Without trivialising the incident, it does speak volumes that the Daily Mail had to go all the way to Romania to find a 'Woman rapes Man' story.

Also men get random erections through out their day, if your dh got one in an all male office you would not assume he was gay. I don't they are particularly in charge of them

I hope the OP wasn't just stirring for the sake of it. If I had seen it I would have posted it, and it is something I would have posted on the fem board because I would expect a lot of people sayin oh he must have wanted it because she's beautiful etc in a general board.

i don't know how it is at all possible for a woman to rape a man. Wouldn't the man have to be aroused ?

Women can have orgasms during rape, he did not want to have sex with her. She also forced him to give her oral sex when he couldn't perform again. A woman jumping on him may have stimulated him, but it doesnt mean he wanted it.

OK - apologies if that was offensive to rape victims, it wasn't meant to be and I can see how it would be.

I am afraid I do not think the OP is posting here for good reasons and unfortunately I have said the worst possible thing which I am sorry for. I will ask that it be deleted.

But how is it possible for PIV sex if a man is not interested/hasn't got a hard on?

"Would you ever post htat in response to a woman who had been raped?"

If a woman came here and posted about being raped I would never be so crass as to post in response suggesting that I didn't belive her. As for any crime I would always maintain that I don't know the facts so I can't state either way what the outcome of a criminal trial should be.

As far as I am aware the man in this case has not posted on mumsnet claiming that he has been raped.

I am responding to the OP who clearly has an agenda.

Legal term or not, of course a man can be raped by a woman! Rape is sex against your will, he was not willing!.....it is, however, in the daiyfail....so I do question the articles motives.

Until we know differently, this man's claims deserve to be respected every bit as much as any women who finds the courage to come forward and accuse her rapist.

It could be bolleaux, but this guy seems to have been physically harmed, and subjected to ridicule. Sexual assault isn't a numbers game - one assault is too many.

What bigoldfanny said.

dueling b. Who knows what the facts are

Would you ever post htat in response to a woman who had been raped?
Don't know anything about op, but don't think that's an appropriate response to a victims story- ever

dranksinatra you know this how?

Maybe the op posted it here as the feminist board should be the board more likely to ignore rape myths and be able to talk about the actual story, with out finding it funny?

just because something isn't legally called rape doesn't mean it isn't rape

if that were true every woman raped by her husband in the UK in 1990 wasn't really raped
