    Plain and simple. Now, I admit that the chances of a male being raped are far and few between, but it has happened and could happen.
    Even if a guy is saying no, and certain things, well you know, is he actually giving a signal to a woman of yes?
    So, in this case, do we still say that "no means no?" Even though simply saying the word no has been debated with women too.

    By other males, probably. By a female, only if he was tied up.

    Theoretically anything is possible even if it's very unlikely.

    On the original point I do believe that no means no, it really depends on the person, some people may be saying it seriously but if you're giggling while you're doing it then I'm not suprised if people don't take you seriously. Anyways, no means no.

    Well physically it's near impossible. As proven by the most recent rape here in Finland where a 14-yearold kid raped a 26-28 woman seemingly without even resulting to the use of any weapons. While it is true that a normal female is significantly weaker physically than a male, they could still put up quite a decent fight. Only mentally they're far more apt to rely on submission over agression. With males, this is completely on the contrary. Few would not defend themselves extremely aggressively.

    And then theres' the "mental" side of it. The only reason why a male would really turn his back on free sex with a female would be the realistic chance for being affected with a sexually transmitted disease, or because of strong sense of loyalty to one's partner.

    So it can be done. Only it requires rather harsh methods to do so. Certainly for a beautiful, healthy young woman it's nearly impossible to "rape" a man. While in the case of a male it hardly makes a difference even if he was the most attractive male on the planet and used the most gentle methods for his deed.

    Sure they can be raped. Everything is possible with a good set of chains.

    Now, to be serious.... yes, I do believe this is possible. I probably could say quite a lot on the subject but I'd prefer to not to.

    In fact, I don't think I can't really say anything that would not go way out of line, so I'll justt state my opinion.

    Yes.

    It can happen -- rare and strange, but possible. Many rapes are not physically violent, but other methods of coercion are used. Yet it is still wrong and it is still rape.

    A man can most certainly be raped by a female, if she puts a gun to his head, and then...well, use your imagination. Scary stuff!

    A man has to be "excited" to have sex - otherwise nothing happens.

    ... however, a man can be raped by another man or a woman wearing a strap-on by sodomy.

    I'm actually sorta disappointed that the pedaphile priest that was killed in prison the other day wasn't raped before he was strangled to death. Oh well.

    Other than sodomy it's not really technically a rape, as Cybermancer hinted above. There are exceptions though: a man might get excited despite not wanting to, in some cases it will work even under circumstances that would normally make it impossible for him to sustain erection. Sometimes a man won't want to have sex because he is being threatened - as a matter of pride, never mind that he's excited anyway. Sometimes, also, a man will refuse to have sex even if he's excited. And when he can't refuse, it won't necessarily un-excite him. That's rape still. Desire doesn't count, will counts. Sex against will is rape, no matter what. It only looks a bit different.

    I've heard of this story that happened two decades or so ago, dunno if it's true though. A group of rapevictims (women of course) ganged up on a rapist who got set free because of procedure errors during trial, and they sorta kidnapped him, tied him up, and kept on jerking him off until he ejaculated blood. Messed up his hardware forgood.

    Not sure if you can call such a thing rape though.

    Like most of the above replies, I also think men can be raped. As long as he is being coerced into it against is own will. So IMHO if he gives consent and allows himself to be tied up, then no it is not rape because he gave consent. But if he says no and still gets tied up by force (he'd be obviously trying to struggle and kick free) , then yes, it is rape.

    It must be kinda embarrassing to be raped by a woman :p

    I seriously laughed out loud when I read about a guy who was raped by a woman, in the newspaper.


    ouch :eek:

    See the movie "thursday" and you'll believe that it is possible.
    (It's sort of a pulpfictionish movie)

    Edit: general edit...

    Technically, for the action to be rape, penetration must occur. Given that, it's difficult to imagine how a man could be raped.

    Most of you seem to be referring to simply being forced into sex, in which case, yes, a man can be raped. It is less likely, but possible.
