a little random of a question, but I’d assume it depends on the rapist doing said raping.

If you don’t mind my asking though, where’s the origin of this question?

syz's avatar

Since rape is about power, not sex, I don’t think it would matter. And violent rape produces it’s own blood. Why would a rapist be squeamish?

Sakata's avatar

Awesome question!!!

For the record I would, but I’m a sick, sick man.

casheroo's avatar

I…don’t know. Why would you even think of this?

nayeight's avatar

Uhhh I’m a woman on my period walking alone to my car at night. I heard a noise, got scared, but it was nothing and I got to my car safe and sound. It just got me wondering what if I was raped…? First of all, I hate to be graphic but I have a tampon in. How would that work?

syz's avatar

Uh, ouch!

cak's avatar

@nayeight – I don’t know. But as a person who has been attacked, let me just say that they don’t give a damn what is going on with you. Only that you don’t report them.

Sakata's avatar

**Warning Graphic Answer**

The tampon would either move to the side or be shoved further up. If it moves to the side you probably won’t notice that part of the incident.

nayeight's avatar

I’ve actually wondered this ever since I knew what rape was and had a period…but I thought of it just now and decided to tap the collective.

ABoyNamedBoobs03's avatar

yeah to be honest I can’t imagine said rapist jumping someone, smacking them around, forcing their clothes off, looking down and going “oh come on Lady!” and walking away in disappointment.

ABoyNamedBoobs03's avatar

@nayeight that’s what we’re here for I suppose. :)

nayeight's avatar

It’s actually really scary to think that not only could you be raped and possibly murdered but that your tampon could kill you or really do some damage.

Amoebic's avatar

@nayeight the tampon itself isn’t going to kill you. If any damages are done, it would likely be the rape more than a cotton tampon.

sorry, not trying to scare you or creep you out

Blondesjon's avatar

@nayeight..great! YOUR question just made me racist

jbfletcherfan's avatar

This is not a stupid question, it’s a valid thing to think about.

Years & years ago, a couple was parked in their car in a park near here. A man came up, beat the hell out of the guy & raped the girl. She had a tampon in & he rammed it clear up into her insides. She almost died. He messed her up so bad that she could never have kids. So yes, it’s something to think about.

Blondesjon's avatar

@augustlan…I feel very strongly about this subject and in response to something as fucking vulgar as this I just made my own racial epithet at the questioner.

jbfletcherfan's avatar

@nayeight Wrong! Read my post.

Amoebic's avatar

@jbfletcherfan I think you mean me! I stand corrected.
I think I misunderstood her concern, and your example clarifies. I’m glad I don’t use tampons.

ubersiren's avatar

@Sakata : I thought that was hilarious, and I think that may make me a sick sick woman.

@Blondesjon: Did I miss something? What’s vulgar about the post? I thought she was being serious.

Blondesjon's avatar

@ubersiren…She may very well have been. I’m afraid I don’t have my Stupid to English translator on me.

nayeight's avatar

Actually I was being serious. Blobdesjon, don’t be a prick. If the question offends you then flag it or move on. I don’t think there’s anything stupid about my question. Stop looking around for your stupid to English translator and enter the real world where things like that do happen.

nayeight's avatar

Haha @Blondesjon – I spelled your name wrong…oops.

Blondesjon's avatar

@nayeight…I did flag it and who do you think you’re fooling by playing this off as a legitimate question?

if you actually are as young as you look in your avatar than your question denotes a lack of maturity that even i don’t possess

nayeight's avatar

What about this question offends you? I’m not that young, I’m 22 years old. And this is a legitimate question, why wouldn’t it be?

Sakata's avatar

asmonet's avatar

Guys, drop the drama, we’re all sick of it from the last few days – no need to bicker amongst ourselves too.

I doubt it would matter, as many have said it’s about power not sex. It probably doesn’t matter. That said, the most effective thing to yell if you’re being raped statistically is “I’m pregnant!” apparently, it freaks them out more than a woman’s period.

Blondesjon's avatar

@asmoneti don’t need a pseudo-mod

@nayeight…If you really asked this as a legitimate question than I’m sorry your mother wasn’t around to fill you in on these things when you were growing up.

AstroChuck's avatar

@nayeight- Your greatest question to date, legitimate or not. ;D

nayeight's avatar

@AstroChuck- then why is this guy being such a dick to me?

nayeight's avatar

@AstroChuck- And thank you for the compliment.

oneword's avatar

unfortunately

asmonet's avatar

@Blondesjon: A pseudo-mod? Fuck that, I’m just sick of it all.

Sakata's avatar

Damn, out of popcorn

ubersiren's avatar

I don’t think @Blondesjon is being intentionally dicky. He did say this was a very sensitive issue for him, so I think that sensitivity is picking up anything that has potential to be offensive. He reported it, so it’s now up to someone else to decide if it’s inappropriate.

jbfletcherfan's avatar

@Amoebic Yes, I did mean my reply to you. Sorry. I clicked on the wrong name. I’m glad you got the meaning behind my post. I meant it to show the damage that can be done.

@Blondesjon I’ve never seen you be so snarky. Come on, man. This WAS a serious question. And whether her mother was around is moot. Being raped while having a tampon in is an issue. And it’s good that anyeight realizes that. Cut her some slack here, okay?

Horus515's avatar

Friggin weird question. Guess it depends on the rapist…I got funny feeling that rapists aren’t too picky though. I bet some savage rapist wouldn’t mind getting his red badge of courage.

ubersiren's avatar

@Horus515 : Guess it depends on the rapist… -That’s probably the funniest thing I’ve read in my life.

jo_with_no_space's avatar

I suppose it depends on the rapist.

AstroChuck's avatar

Did you say depends on therapist??

ubersiren's avatar

@AstroChuck : You wouldn’t know that without your damn cards, Trebek!

Blondesjon's avatar

I want to apologize to @nayeight for the personal comments I made last night. It is an issue I feel strongly about but that gave me no excuse to be personally hurtful. I am normally a very reasonable and happy-go-lucky dick not an outright asshole like in my answers above. Again, I am sorry.

I do not apologize for questioning the legitimacy and taste of your question. If you were twelve years old I would have let it go but you are twenty-two and I could picture you snickering to yourself as you posted it.

I do believe that you have every right to ask the question that you did. I believe I have the right to express my opinion of it. What I should not have done is get angry. I forgot the cardinal rule. Whoever gets angry first loses. Last night I lost.

jbfletcherfan's avatar

@Blondesjon It’s taken balls to apologize for your comments of lastnight. That’s a good start. But then you ruined it with this:

I do not apologize for questioning the legitimacy and taste of your question. If you were twelve years old I would have let it go but you are twenty-two and I could picture you snickering to yourself as you posted it.

What the hell??? Do you honestly think that nayeight thinks this is cute? To snicker while asking this question??? Unbelieveable!

I’m going to have to tag this question ‘stop following’, because you’re causing my blood pressure to go straight through the roof!!!!!!!!!!!

Blondesjon's avatar

@jbfletcherfan…You can’t honestly sit here and tell me you have never met anyone in their twenties capable of humor in poor taste. Trolls come in all shapes and sizes.

jbfletcherfan's avatar

@Blondesjon You’re absolutely right, my dear. Humor in poor taste does come in all shapes & sizes. But nayeight’s been here for a year. She’s hardly a troll who’s popping in for a quick question to cause trouble. I guess since the incident I described up top happened so close to here (15 miles), it’s a subject that is serious to me & will never leave my memory. I’m just giving her the benefit of the doubt.

Blondesjon's avatar

@jbfletcherfan…If you vouch for her than I retract all of my previous statements. This was my first time running into her and I am 100% in the wrong. @nayeight I am sorry. Can we start over from the beginning?

you come highly recommended

jbfletcherfan's avatar

@Blondesjon I don’t know her at all. I’m just saying that I really don’t think this is a put up deal. It’s a legitimate question, IMO.

Blondesjon's avatar

@jbfletcherfan…I will admit to not even looking at her profile before I made my statements. I will give her the benefit of the doubt. And I apologize to you for the sudden rise in you blood pressure. I can have that effect on people.

AstroChuck's avatar

Come on, you guys. I’ll buy ya a drink.

jbfletcherfan's avatar

@AstroChuck I’m SO there! Let’s go, Blondesjon.

Blondesjon's avatar

Right on.

we don’t have to link arms and sing we’re off to see the wizard do we?

jbfletcherfan's avatar

@Blondesjon LOLLLLLLL, no, we don’t have to do that. :-)

AstroChuck's avatar

Right this way. The drinks are in the root cellar. Just ignore that bag of lime.

Blondesjon's avatar

@AstroChuckand the gacy-esque odor?

nayeight's avatar

Wow. Uhh I don’t know what to say but I feel like I should say something. Uhhh…@Blondesjon – your apology is accepted. Rape is a touchy subject for some (especially the “special circumstances” I asked about) so I can understand your concern on whether or not I was joking around because I thought it would be funny. I can assure you that I was 100% serious when I asked that question. @jbfletcherfan – Thank you for defending me! You rock!

Akota_pup's avatar

It depends. Unfortunetly all rapist are different and even though rape is about power the sex is a plus and usually sexual preditors have something they are into. If blood happens to turn on the rapiest it will only make him come back. Usually this is not the case. Also, if a rapiest knows or sees your on your period it may make him feel confident enough not to use a condom because he knows the chances of you getting pregnat and that you are on birthcontrol are slim.

asmonet's avatar

“Also, if a rapiest knows or sees your on your period it may make him feel confident enough not to use a condom because he knows the chances of you getting pregnat and that you are on birthcontrol are slim.”

Excuse me, but that doesn’t make a damn bit of sense.

Akota_pup's avatar

Well the more elitest rapist or rapiest who have raped many times serially and haven’t yet gotten caught get more confident in their act. This also means they usually know a lot about not getting caught as well. One of the things that they may or may not do (which I’m not saying all rapiest do I’m saying its a percentage though) when a female is one her period they may decide not to use a condom for a couple reasons. One most condom lubrication can now betraced and even though they can do a sperm check they can still pull out, cum else where such as the floor, and bleach it. Two they know that the chances of the girl getting pregnant are slim because even though it can happen its harder to get pregnant when you are on your time a month, this means less evidence as well. I do retract my comment on birthcontrol though that didn’t make sense at all, I got my sentenced confused.

asmonet's avatar

First of all, any rapist with ten seconds of planning is going to use a condom regardless of the victim’s status.

Pulling out does not mean no semen is deposited. Did you skip sex ed? That’s not how a penis works, sorry.

I think you need to read up on rape, you’re tragically misinformed and from what I can tell, you really think you’ve got all the facts.

Horus515's avatar

@asmonet
“I think you need to read up on rape…”

Thats the first time I’ve ever seen someone say that. It was good for an lol.

Sakata's avatar

lmao… how much studying does a normal person really need to do in the field of rape?

asmonet's avatar

Enough to not look like an idiot in casual conversation. :)
If you’re gonna spout ‘facts’ they best be true.

Sakata's avatar

That’s awesome. I thought I was the only one who talked about rape in casual conversation. I’ve noticed most people just don’t respond at all whenever I talk about rape, pedophilia, or dead babies.

asmonet's avatar

Nah, I got stats on all those. :)
Then again, I have a weird fascination with crime, medicine…and gross things most girls don’t want to even know about.

Sakata's avatar

Oh, I don’t really have any “stats” or anything. I just enjoy the jokes.

asmonet's avatar

Shocking. ;)

debmov32's avatar

well. thats a bit random but i’ll admit i have actually questioned this myself,not kidding. i saw a movie once and these guys were about to rape this women until she said she was on her period so they made her give oral/maybe anal sex. i imagine a rapist depending on his “freakiness” may or may not stop.some people think having sex (male/female) when the female is on her period. not me :P
