What is incest?
Some people think that incest is when someone marries or has sex with a cousin or brother/sister. This is not so. Incest is any sexual act performed by two members of any one family. This can mean your mother or father, brother or sister, or anyone that you are related to.
What is the definition of rape?
This is the definition of rape, according to Webster's Dictionary:
"Rape: n.
1. The act of seizing and carrying away by force; violent
seizure; robbery."
This definition does not deal with rape in the sexual nature, but the idea is the same. Rape isn't love making, it isn't even sex. It's nothing more than a sadistic, violent act. When a person rapes, they steal the victim's self-dignity and self-worth. More than that, their hearts. Rape is when someone forces you to have intercourse with them.
AQUAINTANCE RAPE: When someone that you know rapes you. Just because you know them doesn't mean that it's not rape. It might even be someone that you trust...
DATE RAPE: Date rape is when you're dating someone and they rape you. They (the rapist) might assume that you wanted to have sex with them and use that as an excuse, or they might say that you were giving off certain signals. Even if that were true, if you didn't consent, it's rape.
If I consent, then change my mind, is it still rape?
Yes. Just because you're in the heat of the moment doesn't mean that you don't have the right to change your mind and that the other has to stop listening to what you have to say. Even if you're married to the person, no means NO.
