Could You Date A Man That Had Been Raped?

 

Coming from me this subject matter is a bit of a "downer", but I was watching a movie on BET last night of a guy going to prison and immediately after getting locked up being raped multiple times by his cell mate. This happened repeatedly during his stay in prison.

 

I got to thinking, when women are victim's of sexual abuse we are treated with white gloves. Everyone is sensitive to the issue and most likely, your future boyfriend has no choice but to be understanding to the situation and help you get through it. 

 

Now Ladies, what do you do if your significant other tells you that he had been raped. Either he had done jail time and had been raped by someone in jail or he had experienced something similar to Raz B's situation and had been taken advantage of by someone(s) that he trusted dearly?

 

I can't speak on anyone else but If I was with someone who had gone through this issue I couldn't do anything but attempt to be there for him. I'm a "caregiver" at heart so my immediate response is to try and make him feel better. Having never been in this situation myself I wouldn't have any words of encouragement to give or anything to help the situation. In fear of my compassionate coming off as being "fake" it probably would be best for me to leave him alone (if that's what he asked). I highly doubt I'd be able to provide the emotional strength he needed so I probably would be more of a burden than any help. However, this is just ME. 

 

What would you do in this situation?

I'd stay and take my cues from him. He would have to be in some sort of counseling though.

I was actually with a guy that had been sexually assaulted growing up and he was extremely sensitive... it was almost as if he needed to be around me all the time, not as an insecurity thing, but as very clingy and needy...he needed to be nursed...it was hard because i was young...only 18 and he was 27...i wanted to have fun and he needed me to be all mushy and stuff...i mean if i said anything with a high voice or what he thought was disrespectful then he would literally cry....and then he would wind up in my lap and i would be rubbing his head and wiping his tears and apologizing...not saying all men that are rapped are like this but in his case it was very difficult

I've been with a man that's been raped....s*** happens and life goes on.... as long as he isn't acting like any other crazy person I can't deal with we should be ok.  Everyone has things in their pasts that their partners should be a little sensitive with when the topic is approached other than that I say leave the past in the past.....unless you find out they lied smh

I couldn't do it. Too much baggage and I have a strict 1 bag policy.

I was watching the Oprah episode today where she had 200 men that was molested. She also had some of their wives and girlfriend on the show. I was actually thinking about this topic as i watched the show. I would like to say that I would stay with him if he has gotten help to deal with his ordeal. I wouldnt want to blame or punish him for something that he had no control over.
