Question:
What psychological effect can gay-rape do to a straight man?
would that make him gay too?
(this question is no laughing matter, since it happened to real people. thank you for the answer.)
Answers:
I'm speculating. It would emasculate my perception of myself. I would probably entertain any excuse I thought of to rationalize my feelings. This could lead to many negative thoughts and even acts against myself and others. The first thought might be to visit the possibility that I never was what I thought myself to be. This would lead to calling everyone (who I considered "in my corner")
deceivers. Now I have no support system.Then I'd turn back on myself and tear every bit of my own positive self image apart. If I didn't have someone in my life who was persistent in spite of my negative outward behavior, I might seriously consider suicide. It be the only way to erase what happened.
The alternative would be to consider myself not quite straight. I didn't seek it ,but I wasn't able to stop it either. So I'd always wonder if I just didn't want to accept fate. Death would be welcome.
Now that was speculating what subjectively. Objectively I say absolutely not. Rape means non-consensual sex.
