Can Women Rape Men? Is it even possible? Sadly, some think that if the male had an erection he must have wanted it from the female and therefore could not be classified as rape.

Rape to a male by a female can occur if the male was unable or unwilling to consent to sex. This can happen when they are 1) Under the age of consent (varies by state). 2) Handicapped or physically limited. 3) Impaired by alcohol or drugs. 4) Forced or coerced by a woman

Stimulation alone can cause a male to have an erection even if the stimulation is forced. This is a scientific fact. Males can have two types of erections psychogenic and reflex. A reflex erection occurs when there is direct physical contact with the penis, ears, nipples or neck and is completely involuntary. A reflex erection can occur without desire or sexual stimulating thoughts. The ability to have this simple reflex is located in the sacral nerves (S2-S4) of the spinal cord. Males can also become erect if they are on certain drugs or forced to take them. They can also become erect by certain states of relaxation, anxiety, in certain stages of sleep, etc.

Review a compiled list by WND of the rape and/or sexual assault of over 100 males by females.

Sadly many males do not report that they were raped.

Obviously any victim of rape should seek immediate medical and law enforcement help.
