Have you ever been sexually assaulted?

Keep in mind that polling answers are completely anonymous! Just to clarify what I mean by "sexual assault" it is unwanted sexual contact. For arguments sake, I'm not including misread cues. Let me explain: Say you were on a date with someone, it was going well and there was definitely an attraction on both sides but the other person moves a little too fast an puts a hand on your leg or perhaps kisses you. For the sake of this poll, that shouldn't be included as sexual assault (im not saying it is or isn't but in this instance please don't count it).

  • I voted no but when I was 14. I had an experience that scared the crap out of me. I was hanging out with a friend of mine walking around town. A car pulled up, she knew the guys inside. We got in the car. They took us to their apartment across town. The one guy was a little flirty with me but I didn't think anything of it. I wasn't flirty back, I wasn't into him and I've always been very shy but I did smile at the things he said. We were drinking some. I got tipsy. I went to the bathroom, headed back to the living room. On the way, the same guy walked out of the living room towards me and picked me up taking me back down the hall. I asked what are you doing and to put me down. He dropped me on his bed. When I went to roll away from him and off the bed he fell on me and force kissed me. He positioned my body in a very intimate position and held be down. I was yelling get off. My friend came to the room and he let me up. I ran to her. She led me back to the living room. I whispered that I wanted to leave. The guy came back into the room a few mins later and just said I'm not a rapist. I nodded. About 20 mins later my friend said bye to her "friends" we walked out and were picked up by her mom a few blocks away. I don't know if it was considered sexual assault since he didn't get very far but it's terrifying being held down and not knowing what he's going to do or if you can stop him.
    I think you were looking for full on sexual assault not attempted.
    Thats my only experience.

    • Wow, sorry to hear that! It does sound super intense. Id say it probably does count as sexual assault. I mean he did more than just make a move, he forcibly held you down after you quite clearly showing that you weren't interested.

  • Yes, by my boyfriend. I was backwards, doing some work standing, he came behind me and started kissing my shoulders and rubbing himself and shit, i told him to stop angrily multiple times because it was after we had fight. Instead he bent me over and fucked me by force, even though I said no multiple times and almost crying. And he came in me, no condom. I just went to the bathroom, cleaned myself, thinking everything is fine because he is my boyfriend. I couldnt even look at his face, he apologized like 1000 times... I said it's ok you're my boyfriend. It was not ok. We broke up 4 months after this incident and it was not really ok because I couldnt have sex with anyone for 3 years simply because i was afraid.

    • Sorry to hear that! I see that a lot where people (both males and females) feel like the rules are different within a relationship and its only afterwards that the damage becomes clear

    • Read @kabir4577's comment. He is 16 and thinks it's normal because it is the OPs boyfriend in one of the comments below. He says "But he was your boyfriend dear, isn't normal?" While OP is normalizing it by saying "My ex boyfriend would reach his hands down my pants and try to french me when i told him no but I wouldn't say i was sexually assaulted, i just think he's a dick." The boyfriend was a dick. It is an assault, but we tend to normalize things so we forget them easily. I tried to do the same, because if i said he raped me, most men would tell me i am a whore, he is my boyfriend, i deserve that and stuff. So i rather kept quiet thinking it's normal.

    • Yeah its a defence mechanism of sorts. If we convince ourselves that a behaviour was normal, even if its shaken us to the core, then in our minds that seems like a way of processing it. Of course instances like that are never acceptable and nobody should ever go through it whether in a relationship or not.

  • Yes, I think most people have been. Especially, as a child because they are vulnerable and scared.

    I've been molested by a distant family member (no a blood relative), my manager once smacked my butt, etc.

    It really feels humiliating. I don't know why when it is not my fault, but I do.

  • My ex boyfriend would reach his hands down my pants and try to french me when i told him no but I wouldn't say i was sexually assaulted, i just think he's a dick.

    • But he was your boyfriend dear, isn't normal?

    • @kabir4577 Its not normal if someone is telling you "no"

    • Oh, what is they are saying no just to not to sound that they are horny too but you convince them by sweet talking?

    Sadly, I think most women have experienced some level of sexual assault. whether it being groped by a drunk in a club or something more sinister. Even workplaces. A generation ago it was rife.

    As for I, I remember being at a band meet and going to the toilet for a pee. I was having a pee on a long urinal when a guy stands right near me. Weird, very weird. I thought just ignore. Then, I finish having a whizz and he goes to grab my penis to shake it dry. Needless to say, this didn't end well for him

  • when i was 14 my friend was 16 he forced oral on me for a year

    • Wow, sorry to hear that!

    • It’s over with thanks though.

  • Some asshole at work (male) would often (maybe once a week) touch me in a way I would have considered unwanted sexual contact. I would tell him to stop and that it's sexual harassment and he would just say" it's not sexual harassment if if you like it". I am way to patient and nice though and just endured it instead of taking any action against him.

  • Shit, that's a lot of assaulted people...

  • According to my sister I was raped by my cousin when I was a toddler. Luckily I don't remember it.

    When I was 6 I caught him raping my sister when she was 8. I told my parents what I saw, then he was never seen again.

    • whoa :o

    • @Munaf even though I don't remember it. I find it hard to trust people, hence why my friendships and relationships are fragile.

    • so You don't even have a boyfriend? :/

  • Touched appropriately by both a friend (he was very drunk) and strangers, but never to the point of calling it sexual assault. I solved the problems in my own way, some by just pushing away and most by slapping or kicking them in their nuts.

    • OOPS! Should be inappropriately!!! Hard to pay attention here at work and do this at the same time. :)

  • Yes. By a family friend I thought was trustworthy.

  • Yes when I was in my sophmore year of highschool. I FINALLY broke down wore a cute skirt, makeup, earrings, the while 9 yards (I never understood why girls would dress up to go to hell lol). Any way, a classmate I'd known since elementary gave me a complement, which wasn't unusual but also gave me the creeps for some reason. But I went on with my day. It wasn't bad until he followed me while trying to get to my next class to show me exactly how he felt about my choice of clothing. So to spare some detail and skip to the present, yes it took me years to not be afraid/skiddish of him, no i never told on him, I won't ever wear skirts (they've lost their appeal) nor do I ever wear makeup. I'll do as little as possible to bring unwanted attention to myself

    • That’s horrible, you should do you and feel comfortable. I’m sorry that happened to you.

    • @Shybabe33 thank you and I am better now. I feel like I'm too old to try to figure makeup out lol but I'm comfortable and can say in a happy relationship

    • I’m happy to hear you finally found happiness in your life.

  • i've only experienced bad behavior from drunk men. inappropriate touching, very inappropriate language. moral of the story: avoid public transport!

  • Well, I've been touched by a female and a male without consenting but it wasn't that big of a deal. I wasn't really hurt by it.

  • FYI, polls aren't completely anonymous. One of the Uber mod manages and keeps track of polls. And of course our beloved admin

    • Ah right, I had no idea

    • Good to know ! But unless your username is your real name, it's still anonymous though

  • Yes. And i was just a fucking kid. But my body developed sooner so I've always looked older than I really am.

  • One guy tried. He had pain instantly.

  • Yes, two different time :/

  • Well , I was many times someone that my sister trusted the most tried to kiss me and forced me in bed when he was at the house and my sister went for a vacation I was so scared and slept with a knife next to me.

    The 2nd one was hard to explain coz it’s painful to even think about it.

    • It is so hard to read some of these stories and i haven't read but a couple of them because they are so hurtful to hear. I am so sorry for you Ms Pinay that you had an incident that is even too painful to even mention, and certainly there is no reason to discuss anything like that on public forum. I hope you have had a lot of support, hugs and kisses from your family and those you love and trust.

    • Everyone was so surprised why despite of what happened I am still kicking and still have the guts to be positive , but hell , I took them as a challenges and made me more stronger and wiser who to trust and not to. I was hurt enough and throwing my life out will make it more worst.

  • No...

    But i wanted to be though...

  • Yes because of boyfriend at the time

    • You dumped him right?

    • Yes eventually

    • Good for you!

  • nope

  • old drunk guy tried to kiss me , I can still feel his beard on my face 👀

  • No but was falsely accused of it by an ex who had initiated it
    I thank the lord for my innocence being proven

  • I had my ass grabbed a lot by drunk women when I used to serve on a bar. They were normally older women in their late 40s and 50s while I was about 20

    • Ewww I’m sorry for that

    • @Shybabe33 thanks, didn’t traumatise me really, just annoying when u r trying to work

  • I was molested as a child and raped as a young adult and several other incidences. Apparently being molested sets you up to give cues to abusers that you’re afraid. 😒
