Men can't stop themselves when they are sexually aroused. Rape is usually committed by strangers. A woman is far more likely to be raped by someone she knows than by a stranger. The vast majority of women who are raped are acquainted with their attackers, and many time rapes happen on dates. Once a woman confronts the possibility of rape, particularly acquaintance rape, she is force to confront the reality that she or someone close to her will victimized.
Rape is an expression of hostility and aggression.
It can happen to anyone, at any time. In some ways it is more traumatic than stranger rape because the victim's trust in others and in her own judgment can be seriously damage. Men are never victims of sexual assault. Men and boys are victims of sexual assault too. Size, strength, personality, and sexual orientation do not necessarily determine who will be assaulted.
