DEFINE RAPE?

Recently I saw in the paper where someone said that 'rape' was when someone touched you in an inappropriate place.

HUH?


to me, rape is PENETRATION by a man's dick into any bodily orifice belonging to either sex!! 

well, wouldn't that be a good definition?

just groping & grabbing someone could hardly be considered 'rape' no matter how much it's not wanted.

soooo

whaddya all think?

lookin' forward to your replies!!!!!!

    Merriam Webster:

    1: unlawful sexual activity and usually sexual intercourse carried out forcibly or under threat of injury against a person's will or with a person who is beneath a certain age or incapable of valid consent because of mental illness, mental deficiency, intoxication, unconsciousness, or deception — compare sexual assault, statutory rape

    2: an outrageous violation

    3: an act or instance of robbing or despoiling or carrying away a person by force

    - - - 
    So under the dictionary definition #1, sexual intercourse is not necessary.

    Legally, it would depend on the jurisdiction. This post was edited by Walt O'Reagun at September 6, 2018 6:45 PM MDT

  • sexual assault

    There doesn't have to be penetration for it to be rape.  It's forced and undesired sex (oral, vaginal, anal, breasts) with the victim(s).

    All of the above answers are correct.

    The issue of consent is crucial.
