Rape Support Group
If you or someone you know has been the victim of rape, this is the place to find support and get advice. If you want, discuss your experience, share your feelings, and meet others going through a similar situation.
"It was not a coincidence ... that "no" and "know" sounded the same. You were supposed to be able to say the magic word, and that was enough to make your wishes - or lack of them - crystal clear. But no one had ever said "yes" to make sex consensual. You took hints from body language, from the way two people came together. Why, then, didn't a shake of the head or a hand pushing hard against a chest speak just as loudly? Why did you have to actually say the word "no" for it to be r*pe?"

what if you couldn't say "no"? what if your mouth was covered, or you were gagged? what if you just froze and didn't say "no"? what if you passed out? what if...what if...what if...?
would it still be r*pe?

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

If you are denied the opportunity or the right to say no, it is rape.
There was a case where a woman agreed to have sex with a man because that man's friend threatened her life and her child. Both were convicted of rape, despite the video of the woman saying yes and actively participating.
No means no, spoken or not.
