Anyone who is unwillingly forced to have sex, even if it's with your spouse or partner, is a victim of rape. Rapists don't assault out of sexual desire but rather to control and humiliate another person. Over half of all rapists are under 25. Three out of five are married, leading normal sex lives.
Rape is a traumatic experience.
After an assault you feel nervous and upset and may try to withdraw or forget about the experience. Later, you may feel angry, guilty, depressed, and humiliated, and need to talk about the rape over and over again. If you've been raped and are now able to talk about it, you should be encouraged to do so. Most likely you're feeling guilty and devastated by the act even though it's not your fault. Even if you did something unwise, such as walking through a park alone at night, you didn't ask to be attacked and aren't to blame.
