I just want to send out all my love to you guys and gals who have experienced this. I have two friends who have been raped, and the emotional scars and trauma they have endured just breaks my heart. It is truly sickening that people have it in them to do things like this to others. The closest that I have come to being raped was by an ex-boyfriend, who tried to force me into giving him a blow job. I managed to get away from him, and ran out to my car and left-- I never accepted another phone call or saw him again, and to this day I wonder if he would have tried more if he succeeded in forcing fellatio-- the very thought makes me shake still. I was very lucky to have gotten away from him. When I told my current boyfriend about the situation, he had the same reaction as Axe, wanting to go and rip this guy apart. I guess it is only natural to want revenge. In this case, I just wanted this guy out of my life-- I'm a firm believer that what goes around comes around. Hugs to all of you- You deserve all the love and happiness the world has to offer, and never ever think otherwise.
