Most Gay rapes go unreported, due to a fear of the police finding out the victim is Gay, intimidation and threats by the rapist if you report it, and embarrassment in being a victim. If you answered yes to any of these questions, you have been a victim of Gay rape. There are many myths associated with rape, especially in the Gay community. It was the victims fault. Some people think that a rapist forced sex on a person because of the way the victim dressed or how they acted.
Rapists can appear to be the nicest of people.
They can often be like Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde. One minute they can be charming, and the next minute, they are forcing sex on you. Rapists force sex on their victims in order to obtain sexual satisfaction. Rape is actually a crime of power and control. Sex is simply the means of using that power and control over people.
