Many acquaintance rapes occur in the context of a dating relationship and typically take place on the man's turf. Women provoke rape by how they behave, dress or where they choose to go. Rape is the victim's fault. Rape is never the victim's fault. If a woman wants to be involved sexually with a man, it would not be necessary for him to use force or threats of physical violence.
Research shows that rapists look for available women they perceive as vulnerable.
In fact, anywhere from 50 to 90 percent of all rapes are not reported to police. Think about what your sexual limits are, and be prepared to communicate them directly. Pay attention to nonverbal behaviors, including the signals you may be sending. Make sure that your body language is consistent with verbal messages. Remember that alcohol and other drugs can interfere with your ability to communicate effectively and deal with potentially dangerous situations.
