Really? I'm not saying it is ridiculously less traumatic. I am saying it is not rape. If you don't use your sexual organs, it is not rape, as it is not sex.

Quote:The spread of disease can't be it, because rape isn't all that meaningfully less traumatic if the victim knows that the rapist is disease-free.

It would be for me. I would still be traumatized, but not knowing for six or more months if I was going to die from an STD is extremely traumatic. I'll give you that it is probably different for people with OCD, but I still imagine that knowing you're not going to catch anything awful or get pregnant alleviates a lot of the shame and fear that comes immediately after rape.

Quote:Aversion to physical contact with skin, though?

Yes.

Quote:It matters if he wears a condom?

No. Have you ever had sex with a condom on? Skin still touches, dude.

Quote:It matters if he rapes you with a prosthetic penis? It matters if he rapes you with a prosthetic penis in a condom?

Are you seriously this hung up on it? Again, what does this have to do with the conversation at hand. Rape is rape. All sexual assault is not rape. Fingering someone is not rape. I didn't define rape. All you have to do is Google it. I'm not sure why you need my help with it.
