[Trigger Warning] Has anyone threatened to rape you?

[Waist of Thyme]

No one's ever threatened me with anything, but one of my friends (who also happens to be asexual) had to be withdrawn from a class because someone else in the class threatened to rape the voice out of her.

Maybe TMI? I don't know. (Sexually assaulted by another child as a child)

I was sexually assaulted when I was 8 years old, by another 8 year old, in the supposed haven that was my bedroom. :( (She was raped by her older brother for quite a while, and she assumed that was how people became "friends".) She also threatened to beat me up if I tried to get away or didn't give in to her commands (namely undressing). (And getting away would have turned out to be pointless, anyway. No one believed me when she was taken home. Except my dad, but he wasn't home at the time. :/)

I've mostly come to terms with it, but I'd definitely freeze up if something similar were to happen again.

Not sure if this qualifies as a rape threat but it sure is creepy.... A few weeks ago I was approached by an unknown guy who asked me out.

Since I don’t do relationships and have no interest in this guy I don’t know, I turned him down as polity as possible.

However, he kept sending me messages on FB. Telling me he loved me and stuff like that. I told him to quit it. I’m not interested. But he kept texting me telling me to come to his house in the middle of nowhere (there're no bus stops or anything nearby where he lives, just woods for miles, he doesn’t even have neighbours and I don’t drive).
This is what he wrote in one of the texts after I had told him 'No and I’m not interested so stop asking!' several times: “I look forward to Saturday when you will come to my house.”

A few minutes later he sends another text: “Are you allergic to any substances?”

WTF is all that about!?

Yes, by my 25/26 year old male cousin when I was 12/13. It was a very painful experience but I have come to terms with it. (I see him every weekend and I haven't killed him so I think I'm okay.) It did not occur because of my asexuality and it did not "make" me asexual.

I've never had a legitimate rape threat directed toward me, though some of my "friends" have certainly made such suggestions.

I don't know if it's sexual, but people like to touch my hair. It's creepy and I don't know why they do because it's just....hair. It's average white person hair and it's not even styled. But a (female) gym teacher once practically chased me over it-- I wedged myself between the wall and the folding room partition and refused to come out until a friend assured me that she was gone.

She was also the self-defense instructor. Needless to say, I waited until college to take that particular class.

I'm not pretty by most standards, and I'm definitely heavier than average--though not unhealthily so, and all I can do is hope that these things continue to shield me from anything worse than unwanted hair-petting.

I was molested by a much older female cousin when I was a pre-teen. My family decided to just be quiet about it, so they never did anything about it.

In my early 20s I was drugged and raped by a guy. I had no interest in him, he wasnt my type and we were both Tops, so it wasnt a good match. He drugged my drink, raped me and bragged about it. The way the cops treated me the next day was worse than the actual rape. They kept trying to get me to "admit" that this was just a one night stand and i had regrets over it. They wouldnt do a rape kit or a blood test, but said i could pay for them myself.. then they merely phone interviewed the guy, he denied it, and never did anything about it.

So screw you San Jose police force, youre utterly useless and homophobic!

It's never happened to me, thank God.

I was sexually assaulted when I was in my twenties by a man old enough to be my grandfather in the middle of the night on a greyhound bus some where on a highway in Iowa. I woke up with the guy's hands in places they should not have been. I was too embarrassed to make a scene so I pushed him away from me. He didn't stop. I moved to another seat on the bus and met a nice lady who was from Africa and was traveling around America.

I wasn't targeted because I'm asexual. He was just a creepy old man and I had been nice to him.

This is really really personal and I don't really want to talk too much about it because... it's a little tmi.

When I was about 5 or 6 years old, I was molested by an older kid who happened to be male and was like about twice my age at the time. I was so young, I barely remember it, thank goodness, but I know it happened... I didn't tell my mom about it until I was in 6th grade. I don't want to say what he did. In fact, I wish I could completely forget it ever happened, I even considered getting hypnosis to forget it (I'm still considering it). I barely remember it anyways, so that should make it easier to erase. I'm aware that hypnosis can't retrieve memories... but it can help make you forget, if you really want to. And... I really want to forget.

Sexually assaulted, there was this one time this guy slapped my behind... Sexual harassment, the same guy mentioned that he wanted to motorboat my breasts (and I didn't even knew what that meant, I had to look it up). It really stinks beind treated like that. Why does anybody do that to people?

*hugs* I hate it when immature people act stupid. I had a similar incident during 7th grade. Only I was slapped in front down low rather than behind. Dx I remember running out of the library in tears. And I agree! Who does that and why?!
