why don't people talk about sexual assault?

The victums feel guilty in our society we have a way of making them defend themselves and their actions instead of blaming the perpetrators. For instance why were you at that place at that time of day. And the askers are the protectors of our society. It would be very difficult to answer after being traumatized.\n\nGood Luck and God Bless!!

Yap, everyone has some skeletons in the closet. But it wouldn't be a secret anymore if more and more people know about it. At times, it makes you more interesting to people.

I think it is because that it is still a major taboo to the majority of the population.  I have been thinking about it havn't done it yet but if its another way to get off i guess i would be willing to see what is like.

It ranges from Flirt to sexual assault , Sexual Assualt is crime...\n\nDo moderation. Comfort should be on both sides

Information, education and counselling. Its a huge problem so it requires a huge response which is not forthcoming. But still many things are being done to imform people and i think a large proportion of ppl already knw how to save themselves from it. But since Sex is often hard to resist and condoms are difficult to arrange in the heat of the moment, temptation overrides the desire

I wouldn't think it would be sexual assault, but it would be assault.  I suspect that some of the people claiming this in forums are lying, perhaps to make themselves look better.  If it was done to me, I would file assault charges.

I dont know if it more popular so much as more people are open about it and are willing to admit that they are. \n\nA short time ago (your mother or grandmothers generation) such things were taboo to even talk about, let alone to try to live your life publically as a bi-sexual person.

I think it is because it is constantly being shoved down our throats, it gag's us!! I mean , yes we speak out against all sexual sin, but the gay revolution tries to protect and project and promote themselves and their sin as something we MUST accept and approve of, or else we are "biggoted" You don't have that occuring with adultry or fornication! THAT is why it happens. NO People like having things rubbed in their face. If Gays kept thier sin private, as others do, well then I would keep my opinion private also!

I'm not sure. It might have something to do with that whole teenage pregnancy issue. Or maybe it's that AIDS and STD thing killing people all the time that they're always going on about. Or it COULD even be that God-guy. Yeah, I for one just don't understand it!\n\nAnyways, why is it that so many of these people posting on here think that in order to have a good or 'perfect' relationship, it has to be about the sex? Pretty messed up priorities.

more than we will ever be able to count unfortunately. Most abuse victims are afraid to speak up for themselves, especially children who by society's nature are made to feel like they aren't important. \n\nGoogle the statistics, or go to a child abuse prevention website.

Most people have absolutely no desire to show their genitals in public. It's not the law that's holding them back. They just don't want to be exposed. Even if it were legal most people would not do it. The law-makers just reflect the public attitudes.\n\nBesides, clothes offer men discreet privacy so the whole world does not know if they are in an aroused state versus an unaroused state because most people make eye contact and look at another's face unless something is so obvious in their peripheral vision that even with eye contact they would know. A lot of people don't really look too closely so clothes give men the privelage of the whole world not knowing when they are or are not particularly excited.

i think it is because as a person that is living with mental health instead of making mental health my life;...........people as a mass norm,know how they want to deal with everyday people.no challenges not bumps,but to talk with some with a mental health issue we are unsure of the way we are reacted to a mentally challenged person.crazy as sounds you talk to more people with mental issue then ya know.good luck finding your answer.you "DID"just interact with a mentally crazy person......p.s.we can be the most fun at a party too.lol

Being raped is very degrading to a women it takes away her pride self respect makes her feel worthless, and ashamed. The women who don't report rape is out of fear from the assailant or being ashamed. Ashamed might not be the correct word to use. you get the point though. I don't know what I would do. I would hope that I would have the courage to report it so it wouldn't happen to someone else.  I had a friend once she was in her mid 40s she waited until she got married to have sex. She was 18 on her wedding night her husband tied her to the bed and sodomized her. she came from a family that taught you that your husband is the law and what he does to you is his business and you didnt question him. She is no longer married to him thank goodness. For anyone out there who has been raped my heart goes out to you.

"pretty much what I am hearing so far is that it is assault but does not measure up to the standard of sexual assault"=That is right, just one of many double standards against men!!!\nNot only it is not considered to be anything special, it is also considered very funny, that is why men don’t report those situations. Adding to natural embarrassment of sexual assault victim to report the sexual offences, there is the additional fact that it is considered to be funny.\n\n\nMOVIES, TV, COMMERCIALS, THEY ALWAYS MAKE BELIEVE THAT IT IS JUSTIFIED TO KICK SOMEONE IN THE PRIVATES FOR STUPID REASONS, AND IS FUNNY, AND IT ONLY HURTS BUT DO NOT CAUSE ANY DAMAGE(they use the “kick in the balls” to sell because it is something controversial, but then forget to make people believe that is a bad thing and that the person who did it was a villain in the movie, and then in real life others will pay the price). \nWomen think is funny and hot by nature, but men are brain washed to think is funny, and think not a big deal, with the big help of TV. That is why men sometimes laugh or hide their TRUE DEEP feelings about it.\n\nAnd btw, most women try to hide that they get sexual satisfaction from kicking men in the balls(to me that was always obvious), they only admit that it is funny. \nEven with the foot it is touching; and the laughing they make when they do it or see it happen it is not like the laughing when they laugh about a good joke, it is very different, it is the sexual aroused laughing that is natural on females when sexual aroused. Not to mention other facial, body and behaviour expressions that also indicates sexual arousal, which is their main motivation(other related motivations are enjoying “male only” PAIN done by a women, enjoying sexual HUMILIATION, and all those things are FUNNY).\nAnd I have many other prove of that, I have their opinions on surveys about this issue, I video interviews with random women on the streets and also professional “ballbusters”, they talk about their feelings and about the other girls feelings and also conversations with other girls with different ages(age do not matter, the always fell the same way about it, so the “immature” excuse is not valid), and they also talk about their and other girls experiences.

Probably not 'most people' but certainly quite a few . \nI would say the problem is not very often due to physical weakness, but mainly can be put down to upbringing, some may have been taught that sex is only for 'true lovers' or it's not a very nice thing to do or even shouldn't be discussed.\nSome people may have had a very 'off putting' sexual experience!\nSo mainly it's all in the mind and having a really good chat with someone you trust could sort it out!!

Rape happens all the time, unfortunately.  I'm guessing it's the media that focuses more on celebrities who get accused of it because it makes a bigger splash.  I'm not sure they actually have a higher rate of crime than the general population.

I agree that our society's unhealthy repression of our natural God given sexuality is the root of many of society's problems.  \n\nIf we were not taught from the earliest of ages that our bodies and its functions are dirty, shameful and sinful, and something to be hidden and never spoken of, and we were encouraged to embrace our sexuality in a healthy way, there would be almost no such thing as rape or child molestation.   Sex would be something wonderful that happens between consenting adults (or those mature enough to make those decisions on their own, without coersion).
